''Restoration'' is a digital-only EP by British progressive metal band Haken, that was released on 27 October 2014 through Inside Out Music. It is the first release of the band to feature bassist Conner Green and the second with producer and mixer Jens Bogren, who did his job at his Fascination Street Studios.〔 == Background and recording == The EP was announced on 8 September 2014 via Haken's Facebook page. The EP's three tracks are reworked songs from their 2008 demo, ''Enter the 5th Dimension''.〔〔 Commenting on the option of reworking old tracks, guitarist Charlie Griffiths said:〔 The ending song, "Crystallised", is 19 minutes long and features guest performances from guitarist Pete Rinaldi (Headspace) and drummer Mike Portnoy (The Winery Dogs, Flying Colors, ex-Adrenaline Mob, ex-Dream Theater). The band initially said Portnoy would not play the drums nor sing. Commenting on Portnoy's guest performance, drummer Raymond Hearne said:〔 The band later promoted a contest in which people were invited to guess what Portnoy did in the song. They then announced the winner and revealed that Portnoy played the gong a few seconds before the end of the track.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://hakenmusic.com/blog/post/crystallised-competition-winner )〕 On September 24, the band released a promotional video for "Darkest Light". The song is based on the track "Blind", originally clocking at 11:40. According to Hearne, the band managed to produce a half as long version after cutting away "all the excess fat".〔 Both songs serve as the opening track of their respective releases. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Restoration (EP)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
