I think one of the reasons I love Mourning Sun so much is that it wasn't Zoon II *whistle*

One of the reasons most of people love Mourning sun is that there was no new FOTN record for 15 years :mrgreen:

I don't know, I always kinda thought it was a continuation of Zoon...both musically and narratively.

<smoke and mirrors excepted> they're precisely the reasons that I DO love Zoon and MS so much :lol:

Nothing against Rippin's drumwork, as it's fantastic on both Zoon and Smoke.. but DPR has a 'hitting a cardboard box' sound all the way through it, which totaly ruins the album for me... that and the fact there's only about 2 decent songs *cthulhu* :wink: :lol:

Thank F F that, I thought I was the only one who heard that......To me MS is very much on a level with Zoon, and I find it very difficult to understand people who say they hate Zoon but love MS? There are imo a few tracks that would in no way sound out of place on the Zoon album, New Gold dawn, Requiem, Xiberia, Mourning Sun and 2525. Then of course tracks from Zoon could easily fit onto MS, Xodus, Shine, Melt, Zoon 1-2 and 3!!!!

I actually thought MS was just a working title for ZOON II ...... *whistle*

... still waiting for ZOON III :D

Fallen thing had a potential to become such - a continuation of Zoon, a combination of old and new fresh ideas with a hint of metal...
I don't think Zoon and MS could ever supplement each other... two very different animals:D

I think MS has more in common with Elizium than Zoon, with it's concentration on moody soundscapes.
And , for once I'll agree with Vexed Robert, MS is a continuation of Fallen and, if you listen carefully, contains more than a few recycled riffs from Fallen. *whistle*
