TRON

4 These Troubled Times

Inspired by Ahdio Show #8, I'm creating my own version. It's to correspond with my r+b ballads disc from 1993-2003. But the theme of this one is spiritual rock opuses. I'm actually really proud of this one. The song selection and flow I think is perfect. Let me know what you think.

4 These Troubled Times - 80:00

1:47 1. The Plan - Emancipation version
3:17 2. Welcome 2 The Dawn
4:01 3. The Holy River - single edit
2:46 4. Into The Light
3:37 5. I Will
3:01 6. Pearls B4 The Swine
3:34 7. The Truth
4:59 8. Dolphin
4:41 9. Space - acoustic version
3:22 10. Here On Earth
3:16 11. Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do
2:26 12. The Sensual Everafter - with the intro babble removed
5:07 13. Strays Of The World
3:52 14. She Gave Her Angels
4:43 15. Gold - single edit
3:25 16. One Song - with the intro babble removed
5:19 17. One Of Us
4:39 18. The Love We Make
7:57 19. Last December
1:59 20. Comeback
2:05 21. 20/20

EXCELLENT, Tron.

(My initial thought would be to remove the first and last tracks).

Weak songs, in my opinion - In2 The Light/I Will and One Song.

(Generally speaking, I like a theme but not at the expense of quality).

I like how they round it off.

I consider 'The Plan' a perfect intro, The Sensual Everafter as in intermission and 20/20 as a peaceful outro.

And Into The Light/I Will are imo the best songs on Chaos and Disorder. One Song w/o the speech is much more enjoyable. wink

i like the selection. i have issues with the order though. however, i do like the flow... sonics-wise.


i just get too hung up on trying to get the lyrics of the different songs to tell a story by way of song order.


very nice TRON smile i like it smile

How would you arrange it differently?

This sounds amazing TRON ~ personally I would add Power Fantastic because of the huge spiritual impact the song has on me but it could be a confusing addition due to the interpretation many people have.

It would work thematically, but I'm just collecting songs that were released after The Hits/B-Sides came out. So roughly the past decade only.
