Styx - Krakatoa/Hallelujah Chorus video free download

Paul White

Not too shabby for a band that far too many wrote off as "artistically excessive", when it wasn't cool. EVERY voice on the Hallelujah Chorus is indeed the members of Styx. And if you didn't see and feel the mother ship landing just between the 2 songs, better check your freakin' pulse! Incredible!

How about the song 'Krakatoa" from around 1:07 til fully realized at 1:40. It was bought by George Lucas from Styx (made some money there before their fame) and used as the THX Theme Logo Music.

THX much?...

Early Styx had some badass album tracks, like this one. Makes me think of the origin of the band's name- HADES.

This was also done on the tabernacle organ, the most famous instrument for the tabernacle choir. It gave me chills hearing that low high mixture before the hallelujah chorus starts. What a great way to express the gothic sense.

This album is pretty bad. A few mild moments, but you can see why it never sold more than 100,000 and why De Young hated it. lol

MrsTSDM

Did she tell you what Styx meant?

TuberOnTheLoose

That actually comes from a song called "Spaced" from a 1970 album by Beaver & Krause called "In a Wild Sanctuary." Styx credits Beaver & Krause as the composers on the album. As of this moment it can be found on youtube. The THX song is called "Deep Note" and was written (stolen?) by Dr. James A. Moorer in 1983, a full 10 years after this album was released.

Good thing you didn't play "Plexiglass Toilet" for her instead.

Only the word genius can be used to describe Styx. More specifically Dennis DeYoung. That magic is gone from the current lineup of the band and we are left with a shell of what should still be a power house band. The Wooden Nickel albums, besides Lady, need to get much more attention then they do. This planted the seeds of this great band. They could have that magic again, but only if they were to bring Dennis back.

Chris Sorensen

For some who don't know Krakatoa the volcano erupted in 1883 which completely leveled the mountain in one single explosion. It was so loud, that people three thousand miles away heard it. Also leveling the nearby villages. Death toll was in the thousands. So this does make a symmetrical match during the eruption. But this group is the all time classic of classical genre. Fantastic band.

@redpaul79 i'm very familiar with Lady (aka styx 2) which sounded NOTHIN like this whacked out Tull shit

mrroboto5785

@redpaul79 The only singer that is different is John Curuelski, He was the guitarist before Tommy Shaw joined the band. From 1970-1975 right before the tour to support Equinox, JC left the band and they FRANTICALLY searched for a new guitarist. The reason they sound different is because in the Wooden Nickel recordings, like this, they were going for a more progressive rock style.
