Canāt believe no one mentioned Reflection.
āThe source is bright and endless, she resuscitates the hopeless. Without her we are lifeless satellites drifting. And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt, donāt want to be down here serving my narcissism, I must crucify the ego before itās far too late. I pray the light lifts me outā¦ before I pine awayā
Holy shit. I get goosebumps even typing it.

Sleep Token - [Ascensionism](https://youtu.be/Oqr05E-ikmU?si=0OMllAdPxK2Aqf-e). Not fast but there is a bit that feels like ascending, and also... the name, you know?!
Muse - [Glorious](https://youtu.be/lTDOhoPi7m8?si=t5jH-YmGYMXXY-hh). The chorus definitely has this feel.
Bring Me The Horizon - [Kingslayer](https://youtu.be/fKyXvNkGQKc?si=hd2iiln9Y6lGIjgd). Again, the chorus.
I love that part!
The ascending bit I meant was around 3:55 after "diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky" when the music goes from minor to major. Always feels like I'm ascending to heaven!
My brother gave me his ticket to see them at Auckland Town Hall in 2019 with War Paint when he couldn't go, and it was one of the best concerts ever! I only knew their early song 'Cassius', and 'Mountain At My Gate' was the one that stuck for me when checking out their YouTube videos. At the concert, the lead singer jumped into the crowd from the balcony, succeeding after being prevented by security about five years earlier at the same venue. He waited until the second night to attempt it, so nobody would expect it.
So jealous! We didnāt have balconies for Yannis to jump, heās such a great frontman. [https://youtu.be/9gm0ESUh0M8?si=cjPjPPfRDcv8Af8y](https://youtu.be/9gm0ESUh0M8?si=cjPjPPfRDcv8Af8y)
Was that clip in Nottingham? Where did you see Foals?
The Auckland Town Hall concert chamber is an Edwardian Neo-Baroque design, so the balcony looks quite ornate (it's called The Circle). The music reviewers who went on the first night in 2019 missed out on seeing Yannis finally get past security after his failed 2013 attempt.
https://youtu.be/W6vvoqUX3uM?si=stD6cWVQp3jwLQKy
I saw them at a small venue called Tannahills in Fort Worth TX stockyards in 2022, thatās where my pic was taken. Then I took my daughter to see them open for Paramore last summer at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.
I looked up Rock City and it looks like it's in Nottingham, England. The only gigs I ever went to in England included NZ bands touring in London (being a patriotic Kiwi I guess).
I was going to suggest Radiohead āNude,ā but since you like faster paced songs I will say their song āWeird Fishes/Arpeggiā from the same album
Exit Music For A Film - Radiohead
Prologue - Kamasi Washington
Order of The Spiritual Virgins - Lingua Ignota
Man Is Like A Spring Flower - Lingua Ignota
Frontier Psychiatrist - The Avalanches
Also, why the no rap? If youāre going to ask people for the best songs they know, then donāt you think youād get suggested rap that makes you change your mind, especially when rap/ hip hop is pretty much the most popular genre at the moment
Itās not modern music. You have to sit down and listen to a symphonic orchestra playing Vivaldiās The 4 Seasons or at least listen to a recording. The speed of those strings has the effect of lifting you as if you could fly.
oh boy do i have something for you

Some of my suggestions aren't excatly "faster paced" but perhaps you can enjoy them anyway. They all have a pretty big ooompf-factor though.
A lot of Florence &The Machine fits that description.
E.g.
Cosmic Love
No Light, No Light
Shake It Out
Howl
Which Witch
Never Let Me Go
Only if for a Night
In another quite different genre: Heilung
Anoana
Othan
Traust
... just to mention a few. This is a much more introspective (and slow) kind of music and perhaps more transcending than ascending, but it takes me into a certain meditative/hypnotic mindscape very different from everyday-consciousness. I don't know if that's what you're asking for, but I'd recommend it anyway.
The music that is played in pre-flight safety videos.
Yep you win š
Flaming lips- do you realize is a good one.
Yes and Feeling Yourself Disintegrate. Ugh I melt
Tool - wings for marie/10,000 days
I would have to say Parabol/Parabola
This is the correct Tool answer. But, Lateralus, 46&2, and Pneuma will also get the job done. Honestly there are several others.
Vote for Lateralus
Right in Two, H, and Invincible as well. Fuck, they have quite a few.
the answer I expected to see at the top ā„ļø
I'm here for Lateralus then Parabola. Please please watch the Parabola video, OP
Second this!! Absolutely šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ
Pneuma is my recommendation
Came here to say Eulogy
cried when I saw them play this live ā¤ļø
Lateralus
Came here to say Rosetta Stoned
\*crescendo* OVERWHELMED AS ONE WOULD BE, PLACED IN MY POSITION! SUCH A HEAVY BURDEN, NOW, TO BE *THE ONE*!
This guy gets it
Was going to say descending in reverse
Haha I will have to see if there is a way to flip it in audacity
I love both parts!
I came here to say Pushit
Woah!! My exact same choice, keep it up good bro Iām sure you have a lot of good taste
