Oh look. More "Tool coolness" songs.

More Tool fanboism, havent tried it yet. Working on getting it set up.

I'm a minor Tool fan, so all the "Cool Tool" stuff is lost on me. Course, I've heard for years and years how this band or that band did this or that with songs so....."Cool Tool" is lost on me.

*EDIT*
Ok, after doing it....Yeah, thats pretty kick ass.
/*EDIT*

Found elsewhere...

I didn't know if you people knew this. But, If you burn both Viginti Tres followed by Wings for marie .. Then, play that track as one with 10,000 days as another track and play both at the same time, Both Wings for Marie AND 10,000 days sync ! It is incredible ! It is like an 8 piece band but it all FLOWS ! It flows like one song.. It is the most unique and incredible thing I have ever heard in my life.. BadA$$ ! The vocals, drums, the guitar riffs, everything flows ! Both songs get heavy at the same point at 9 minutes and 14 seconds in, it is magical ! This band synched tracks ! They synched them in testament to Maynard's mother passing to sound like an 8 piece band.. The vocals wisp back and forth almost like a conversation during the sync.. It's UNREAL !

Tool meant these tracks to synch.. If you look at the track times, "10,000 days" is 11 mins and 13 seconds long.. When you add the track times of "Viginti Tres" and "Wings for Marie" it adds up to 11:13 as well.. Look at the album cover ! There are 3 faces with one in the front.. This SICK band meant for all three tracks to play as one song for the self-title track "10,000 days" . Freaky !!

By the way, "Viginti Tres" means the number 23 in Latin . 23 is the number of synchronicity . And nothing is more synchronous than hearing the tracks mixed as I described .. Everything Tool writes is for a reason. These aren't merely interludes and fillers this band puts between songs. All their tracks have a meaning and there's a reason why they are there .. They are truly a one of a kind band like no other.

I recommend using a surround sound system for this.. Play 10,000 days in the rear and viginti treS + Wings for Marie in the front.. It's much better than headphones with listening each tune in one ear.. Because you have a fade with headphones.. Ever notice sometimes the bass guitar (or the effects) will only play in one ear with headphones ? And you may have to adjust the bars and volume.. But once you set it right, the sync is undeniable and it is a pure treat .. Well this is what I mean . It must be heard with a surround system . About two minutes in there will be sounds swingin around your head..It is so cosmic and trippy. When it gets heavy at 9 minutes and 14 seconds in, Both songs get heavy at the same point and it sounds like a cohesive 8 piece band. It's crazy ! I havent stopped listening to this musical feast for 3 days now.. This band is SICK SICK SICK !!

Tool, once again, has come up with something totally innovative on an album. A band that is truly unparalleled IMHO. They never disappoint . On the 2001 release Lateralus , they did the infamous fibonacci sequence in the title song.. Tool's Lateralus is the best album front to back I have ever heard, PERIOD.. They are intoxicating once you give them enough time to squeeze into your consciousness. And with hours of straight listening, your flattened.. Because this band is so deep, it takes a long time for you to absorb their musical complexities , waves and textures. But once you absorb them with alot of listens, it is entrenched into your psychy and they are a mad MAD addiction ..

Every album this foursome comes up with has some new mad musical ideas, they are like mad musical scientists .. Here, in 10,000 days they sync three songs , to make it sound like one incredible song ! The only band in history to accomplish this incredible feat on an album.. This band is pure genius. And with every release they never cease to amaze me. For about 10 years now this band has made me just speechless. I have received such pleasures over their sound over the years that I believe these 4 guys who call themselves "Tool" , are really from another planet ... Pure genius . What innovation . What an experience . Album of the year . This is a masterpiece !!
 
dude, listening to those songs it sounded like they kind of went together. you should see if you could get the audiofile available on here because i really want to hear this. sounds awesome...

I personally have neither the skills or equipment to do it all int one track. I had to use 2 instances of Winamp and the pause button to get everything running.

Having tried it though, it does seem to mesh pretty well.....
 
I'm mixing it in audacity as we speak, but I obviously can't post it due to copyright....will let you know if its BS or not in a few mins though.
 
After 10 secs, I can already tell you its legit, and sounds very strange, yet awesome. I always wondered wtf was up with a few of those tracks, they seemed out of place and nothing more than useless filler, but I guess it sorta makes sense now. 😛
 
5 minutes into the song, I'm still somewhat bored by them, as I always was, but still intrigued, waiting for something actually cool to happen. It just sounds like extra ambience. Whoopee.
 
This is actually kind of old.
i've mixed the songs with audacity and believe me when i say that they don't sync. They may sound like they do, but they don't... at least not completely. Fun to listen to anyway...especially if you're a tool fan.

Thats what I noticed. It didnt seem to "complete" the song so much as add some background sounds that seemed to blend fairly well.
 
It's probably only because the songs are written in the same time and key. So naturally they'll balance and go together, but it's really probably not meant to be. People read WAY too much into Tool.
 
i have it. i'll upload it to rapidshare.

it lines up quite well until the end. the drum hits are off by about a beat by the end of the songs

edit1: is it legal for me to post the link here?
 
my bandwidth allotment is VERY low so someone else is going to need to mirror this if people want it.

I just synced em up real quick so yea if it sucks/is wrong, do it yourself.

Obviously this is only for the people that have the album etc etc.

Removed cause other people added links.
 
Nothing I can do can keep it perfectly in sync...it must be purposefully off at some places, particularly the end.

It might be because it wasnt actually meant to be synced up.... 😉

No, its def on purpose - the same riff is played near the end, and it nearly syncs exactly - whether its off on purpose, or whether its just hard as hell to do it perfectly is up to discussion.

Ya, definitely, but to be honest, when it falls apart, it just doesnt sound like anything special at all - it doesnt sound inspired, it just sounds like it doesnt sync.

I tried syncing the end riff, and the end drum beats were off. I tried syncing the end drums, and the riff was off. Which is correct, no one will ever know.
