Random Track of the Day
Thursday, October 21 2011
Way back when we started this series (August, I think?), one of the first bands featured were Nightwish. Back then, there existed some uncertainty as to what album the track was from. Well here they are again, and this time there's no ambiguity.

The riddler --- Nightwish --- from "Oceanborn" on Spinefarm


Some confusion as to what label this album is on though, as three are mentioned, but as Spinefarm are the first we'll go with that. A nice boppy, rocky number from “Oceanborn”, their second album, “The riddler” gallops along at a great pace, with arpeggiated keyboards and the great Tarja at her operatic best. Strangely enough, parts of the melody remind me of Chris de Burgh's hit, “Don't pay the ferryman”... Rather like Riverside, I'm only occasionally dipping into this band's work, but each track I hear keeps me coming back for more.
