The Steampunk Opera: The Dolls of New Albion

in #music7 years ago

This has to be the best mix of music and story I've heard recently !

Most of the pieces can be listened to individually, and aren't too long (avg. 3-5 minutes, I believe), yet there's a whooping 90 minutes of music.

It's worth a listen even if just for the story of New Albion !

most of it based on the story of the McAllister family over 4 whole generations in the city of New Albion... and their "business" in bringing back the dead. (That's one badass family business !)

Seriously... New Albion is a city that is founded when a pair begins playing cards... and never stops... the city being built up around them. The amount of creativity they must have used to think the story up is insane !

You can get it for 10$ on their Bandcamp page (they've even got an musical based on... slenderman ?!?)... or listen for free using this youtube playlist.

Sounds like the story of Steemit.

Huh, I hadn't drawn that parallel. why do you think it parallels Steemit ?

Two developers playing poker with the community - they are investing serious money, and we - our time. If one party leaves, the city (Steemit) is done for. Which is what I fear with EOS coming.

Btw, this playlist is quite cool, I've been listening to it for the last twenty minutes, and I've even linked to it in my latest post (it's a hidden link, for serious readers) ;)

Came to figure out how to talk about surviving Steem-pocalypse, ended up with a strong desire to listen to Steempunk, er...steampunk, opera.

Hehehe. Mission accomplished XD

At least I'm stuck in a survival scenario with someone who has good taste in music, right?!? Have you seen today's post? Any preference? I vote we take the log option. I'll set us up a discussion post on my page so I don't sidetrack your comments in the future lol

Yeah... I initially thought about standing the ground... but I do suspect the people following are bad, and gunfights seem very lethal here.

So yes, the log is the best option I see.

I do suspect listening to steampunk at max volume during the apocalyose could end us XS XD

We just have to survive long enough to play it over a loudspeaker as psyops. Then we can take over the world. Bwuhahaha.

I'm thinking that I should cross the log first with the rifle so I can cover you from across the canyon?

Good idea, the rifle will give you good range.

Let's just hope this isn't a "trick" where one team member dies XS

(Well... the people choosing the vine on the dead tree, if it survives the first jump, are probably abandoning their partner on the other side, as I highly doubt the vine could take a person and not break the minute they landed, if not before).

I suspect we'll see some short-lived teams XS (We'll... We've already seen a team choose to starve to death voluntarily...)

Have you seen the movie 9 ? It's got a nice Steampunk theme in my opinion :)

Will you do the honors if announcing our choice then :)

I will have to go check this out. I'm a fan of Abney Park, Poplock Holmes, and Steampowered Giraffe, so chances are I'll like it ...

Now to go digging for $10 ...

Hehe, true that.

I haven't bought anything directly with money earned off Steemit yet, so I might indulge myself XD

I'm listening to the free one right now, but I will definitely be supporting the artist as soon as I have the $10!
