8:34, i think a lot of the reason people say it's so scary is because of the atmosphere. I believe the story or parts of the story revolve around a dream one of the producers had, so that's basically how the movie came to be
It's a really good movie with amazing atmosphere, I just don't find it that scary. Maybe because I'm desensitized to horror or even that movie in particular since I've seen it a bunch of times
You should (obviously) check out their previous album. I myself want to listen to both back to back, because they use similar or sometimes identical vocal samples, and I wonder to what extent this one is meant as a continuation. Also, they have 4 "Phoenix" songs by now (one of them includes two parts, for some reason), and they say that each one is meant to be a representation of their overall style and their understanding of music in general at the moment of writing the song. And the music video for Phoenix IV: Levitation is this huge montage of around a 100 movies that were used as inspiration.
Aric Improta is the probably the most creative drummer ever. Chops, pocket, and ingenuity. His video Blur lights in the videodrome is 40 minutes of things you've never heard or at the very least in that way. He uses alot of sample pad in his drumming to add melody to rhythm. I do think calling this the greatest instrumental album ever is a stretch but it's subjective. One of my personal favorites is Meridian by The Helix Nebula.
I'll get to it, I just don't have the time lately. Been busy with school and work and life. I haven't had a couple hours free to record an album video in a while but once mid-may hits I'll have way more free time
