What was due to be a celebration turned into a sad occasion...the passing of Mark Cole shortly after he contributed drums to this recording.
It is a shock to everyone who knew him on MCS.
Mark was a wonderful drummer, but more importantly a great guy. Mark you will be missed, rock on!!
This version has the vocals handled by Smithie, he did a wonderful job. Not much else different, except we used my keys track this time around.
Finally, Frank helmed the mixing desk to produce a superlative mix.
Paul's lyrics remain amazing, one of his best.
Super Hadron Collider (Paul Dempsey/Andy Gupta)
Super Hadron Collider (original lyric:PVD)
bpm=98
(v1)
Am/A5
Who could have imagined
That something so tiny
Could mean so much
It’s something - that you can't feel
Something you can't sense or touch
(v2)
A puzzle part that's missing
Shielded for a long time
It's place of hiding is now known
A burst of light - for a moment
And its colors will be shown
(pre-chorus)
D
Back to the beginning - before (the) worlds were spinning
Am/A5
Fulfill a need to rush at (the) speed of light
D
A glimpse never lasting - all dots connecting (2nd time: every bit expanding)
E E D
A journey in search of relief (2nd time: belief)
(chorus)
A5 C D G A5
Super Duper Hadron Collider
A5 C D G A5
Hidden away by a master thief
Super Duper Hadron Collider
A collision of knowledge and belief
Interlude: D5
(v3)
With a thousand eyes watching
Each one never blinking
Two bosons race to collide
There's two keys to open the door
To see what's beyond the other side
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
Main Solo: D A5 D E

great song & great performances.
love this mix.
sounds full - especially the drums.
i was thinking smithc's voice was reminding me of someone but can't quite place it.
maybe kenny loggins...(danger zone era)...idk...sounds great though.

Great take by Mark on his drumming,sad that he has passed away ,he grooved it like a drummer should. :)

Mark Cole was definitely a great guy, and a great musician. I am very thankful that I had a chance to make music with him.

For some reason I only listened to V1 during the mix sessions...
This one I like better!!!!
R.I.P. Mark... great drumming on this. :'( :'( :'(
To me, V2 sounds "better" in terms of clarity, drumsound and guitars especially now having compared them...
-
In all honesty, I prefer this one guys!
Sorry Todd because I know what I am saying but R.i.P. Mark :( :(
The world is a big place that shares music and especially Nick and Mark at this site, thank you for your contribution and it makes me think of another fellow that lived this site :( :(
Memories will never fail, aided by musical reminders :) :(
