Ghost Reveries

~ Release by Opeth (see all versions of this release, 20 available)

Annotation

Recorded at: Fascination street, Winter/Spring 2005

Reverie is the pregap to track 5. Therefore it gets ripped at the end of track 4.

Soldier of Fortune is the first Opeth recording to feature Martin Axenrot on drums, which was also a live in-studio recording.

There are a couple of errors in chapter splitting of the DVD:
Beneath the Mire’s last seconds are at the beginning of Atonement.
Reverie is at the end of Atonement
Harlequin Forest’s last seconds are at the beginning of Hours of Wealth.

Recorded at: Fascination street, Winter/Spring 2005

The pause between track 4 and 5 lasts about one minute (1.07 to be exact) and is filled with some quite quiet music. The name of track 5 contains two titles. The one followed by the slash ("Reverie") is probably the title for the piece of music between track 4 and 5.

Soldier of Fortune, is the first Opeth recording to feature Martin Axenrot on drums, which was also a live in-studio recording.
