Inspiration Corner

[hephiroth]

Hey, has anyone heard or seen what Octavarium's "Inspiration Corner" was made up of? I'm sure Muse's "Absolution" is one of them, as well as U2 and Coldplay, but I'd like to see the list. I think I hear some old school Genesis in there...

heh, i almost posted this a while ago. ive been wondering about it too. i remember watching the "dt-x" bootleg videos of the sfam studio and 6doit studio and they showed us inspiration corner then. i think bartok was in the corner for 6doit if i remember right hehe. haha, those movies were the best. petrucci's "helloooo italians!" makes me laugh. not to mention jordan's improvs on "were having a wonderful timmee...playing music for our friends....." and the insane twinkle twinkle little star. remember how ToT had that special video option with the cd? i wonder if theyll do anything like that for octavarium since this album is a major moment for them. i cant wait for this album's release. im soo excited!

I LOVE Muse :)

I'm going to guess:

Muse - Absolution
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
some album by U2 (Mike has also mentioned Coldplay)
a classic 70's prog album

There's probably more of course, but that's a start.

i read somewhere that the new album might bring back some of the earlier DT days in a few ways, so maybe DT is in their own "inspiration corner". maybe they want to bring back a little bit of the old, while still coming up with new ideas.
