BonusTracks...

[IceBreaker]

Really, all these songs should be put together on one CD, they are all far too good to be called "bonus tracks". Every one of them kicks ass.

Intermission ?

Right, they already have Intermission and Full Moon and Dream with Me appear on The Chosen Ones. Only both Elements bonuses, Solitude and Scorpions-cover Black Out are missing.

Jea, where´s the Solitude? I think it´s the rarest published Strato-song. By the way, does Tolkki sing on it or is it sung by Kotipelto?

Solitude was the Bonus on the SA version of Tolkki's CVAT Solo Album, I think.
I have heard its a beautiful song.

Blackout was released on SOS-single you can still order it from StratoShop (and it also was a US bonus Track on Destiny) and Solitude was released in 1995 on a compliation by T&T Records called Silent Crying (also featuring Gamma Ray, Angra, Kamelot and other less-known bands) AND it also was a bonus-trac on CVAT like Cotton said.

Yes, but Blackout hasn´t been published on any compilation album, except on a bonus on Russian version of Intermission I think.

Interesting, then Solitude should be a Tolkki song, instead of a Strato-song, though on the CVaT the other Strato-members without a bassist were playing.

Yes, I know Intermission was intended for most of the unreleased songs to find a home. But there is other stuff on there as well. I mean just a CD with all the unreleased songs, including those that were not on Intermission.

[Bryant]

hey, that one song, into deep blue ? where is that from, never heard of that one.

Asian Bonus Track on Elements 1

thanks. so what is it like, like all song so of elements p1 or different ? i know, stuoid question, but ...........

It's a ballad, a bit like Papillon with normal singing, veeeeeeeeeery slow :p

thanks again

[Neferte]

By the way, does Tolkki sing on it or is it sung by Kotipelto?

Timo Kotipelto sings on "Solitude". I like the song... with not so many instruments; it's a slow, dark song I think, and very, very Stratovarius.

I cannot decide between "Ride like the Wind" and "It's a Mystery"... damn!

[Hades]

Ey lord!!!! Here my choice!... (((Cold winter nigth))) The best "stratobonustrack"

[IceBreaker]

Is the Into Deep Blue really so rare that I seem to be still the only one who has voted for it? At least I think it´s a wonderful song, very calm and freezy and nice seagull-shouts in the beginning. I also think now it´s the best Elements´ song after Dreamweaver.

I like Deep Blue a lot.
But Cold Winter Nights is better.

[Lighting]

In my opinion it's When the Night Meets the Day

[Lord_ZX]

Cold winter nights its amazing and the winner.... exist a live version of this song?, they can play cold winter in the tour...

Right answer, but it's a Stratosong and Koti sings. I don't like the song very much.

[StratoÄijä]

I voted Keep the Flame. But others are good too.

[Maragato]

Without a doubt, my fave is WHEN THE NIGHT MEETS THE DAY. I still can't understand why the band drop out that song from the album. I suppose that it was because of the long duration of EPISODE lp (one notes that it comes from that "golden age"). It's a soft middle-tempo with one of the best chorus and background vocals of STRATOVARIUS.

[Mormegil]

Solitude. Last time I heard it was a looong time ago, but I still remember how great it is. Probably even the best Strato-ballad.
When The Night Meets The Day is also a great song.

[IceBreaker]

Though I´ve voted for IDB and still seem to be the only one who voted for that lovely song, I thought I´d rate all of them. Maybe then I needn´t to discuss on this topic more or even read this.

Into deep blue 5/5 An unbelieavable ballad with very calm atmosphere, the best song on Elements pt 1

Ride Like the wind 4/5 A quite good song and it makes the pt 2 album better. It has great symphonic sound in the end.

Run Away 0,5/5 I nearly hate this song, because it has too much electric dance-beat style. It shouldn´t have been published at all. IMHO

Cold Winter Nights 5/5 It´s clear that this is leading this poll. A very good song with "cold" lyrics. If Into Deep Blue wouldn´t be so great and rare I´d vote for this one too.

When the night meets the day 4/5 Generally a good one but a bit too slow. But the chorus is awesome.

Dream with me 3/5 A beautiful ballad but it doesn´t affect me as much as many other Strato-ballads.

its a mistery 5/5 Ah great song again. It´s tough for me to say is that better than CWN or not, it´s a pity that one remained as a bonus. It has very interesting historical lyrics.

why are we here? 3/5 Yes, it has Jens´s own style but is far away from better bonuses.

Keep the flame 3/5 A slow and sad song with Jens playing grand piano. But Kotipelto sings too low for him. He sounds quite weird.

Neonlight Child 4/5 One of the best Strato-ballads and has strange lyrics for a Strato-song.

Solitude ?/5 The only old Strato-song I haven´t heard yet.

What Can I Say (missing from the poll too) 4/5 Because it´s better than Dream With Me but is quite similar love song written by TK.

[Stratofanius]

If TK really sings in Solitude, then I'm maybe going to buy japan version of Classical Variations and Themes. Or was it japan version?

Nope. As CC wrote above, you seem to forgot read it, Solitude was a South American bonus on CVaT. My mother has got the Korean version of the CVaT and like usually I believe Korean & Japanese versions are similar and that album doesn´t have Solitude as a bonus.
