Rick Allen’s hospital bed helped him dream up his new custom drum kit. “There’s no way he’s gonna get fired,” Elliott recalled in the Def Leppard episode of Behind the Music. “I mean, he’s like a brother, he’s … he’s part of the family. It’s up to him to tell us that he can’t play.” Allen instead returned to the band six weeks after the accident and began designing his drum kit, which used electronics to allow him to play his left hand’s parts with his left foot – and which he had devised the initial plan for while still in the hospital.

It almost seems to have a more Gypsy or Jewish folk sound to it (sorry if this is vague, it reminds me of the Jewish songs in Prince of Egypt or the songs of the Israeli band Orphaned Land more than of the Arabic types of Middle Eastern songs that Epica has done in the past). In other words, it's a fresh breath of air and doesn't really sound like anything else Epica has done so far. It manages to keep sounding fresh and majestic even when there are brutal double bass drumbeats supporting the chorus. This reminds me that the drums in the whole album are mixed lower than in TQE so they kind of fade into the mix instead of being a prominent driving force. The Holographic Principle – A Profound Understanding of Reality I see this as becoming one of the most iconic and popular songs of the album, as it's really one of the few truly new elements in this album which has so far been just improvements upon the TQE style and tributes to past albums. While the title sounds a bit pretentious, this is an excellent song.
A fresh Latin choir intro that sounds like late Renaissance or early Baroque counterpoint, leading into orchestra and piano building up into a new kind of growling riff: staccato guitars and orchestra for the ultimate punchy and kind of soundtracky accompaniment to Mark's growls. This song has some of Epica's best orchestral writing – possibly THE best, and considering that it is all performed by a live orchestra instead of samples or part samples/part live strings, only makes it all the more epic. Near the end there is a groovy orchestral riff (actually 2 or 3,) that are fast and complex and sound like a more jazzy and much longer (fortunately) version of riffs from The Obsessive Devotion or Kingdom of Heaven. These riffs have heavy guitar accompaniment and go with Mark's growls for another new Epica element – I think the only other time growls and fast scale-heavy/technical riffs occurred together was for a short time in Deter the Tyrant, but this goes way beyond that and is appreciated.
