As for the picture, I would also give a title: skating on the fragile universe.

WOW!! Never listened to this and I LOVE it. Honestly, I thought it might be a joke album when I heard the beginning... so glad I hung in there for this. What a beautiful mess! Gonna have to listen to this whole album now...

I'm really glad for this! There are so many treasures who deserve to be made known. 😄

Actually it's the first time when I hear about them and thank you for that! I've listened to some songs and they are cool (also the videos are so colorful and dynamic) - it's nice to listen to something so different than "usual" or rather "popular" music.

OOOooo rock on! Tool is one of those bands that I haven't listened to enough... I know they're good and I like'em when I listen to'em, but I just haven't really dug in yet. This is a good reminder to do so!

Also, love love love this cover. I know this artist right away! It's Alex Grey. Dude is so original, it's unmistakable!

HAHA I don't listen to it much either, but whenever I do it's really good.

Wow, I didn't know the cover artist, but seriously, THE GUY IS VERY UNMISTAKABLE 😯

I promise I only will mention "The Origin of Feces" (censured album cover version), it was a great idea for the album title. But for this post, I'd like to talk about the album The Great Execution by Krisiun from 2011.. I love the colors and all the elements and how this just combines with all the tracks.

Dang! I totally missed this last week. My b!! 😅

Hahaha, the child in me will never get over The Origin of Feces — you can give it all the mentions, lol. 💩

As for The Great Execution by Krisiun, this is so dope! the colors really are what make it. It's such a beautiful hellscape! If I had to go to hell, that's the version of it, I'd wanna go to, haha!

Hard rockin' tunes too. 🤘😈🤘

Not long ago Masayoshi Takanaka's "All of me" showed up in the sidebar of my YouTube suggestions and I clicked on it not having any idea what it was going to sound like... it did not disappoint!

I watched the film, Ophelia, the other day and I just love this music from one of the scenes!

OOoo this sounds lovely — so epic. I'm absolutely loving the violins! Never heard of Steven Price, but this is seriously good stuff!

Also, I've not heard of the movie Ophelia... gonna have to look it up!

But, when I hear the name "Ophelia" it makes me think of the 70's song by The Band.

My band actually covers this, haha! It's a lot of fun to play. 😀
