4. An unsigned English Heavy Melodic Instrumental band which formed in 2000.
Opus formed in early 2001 and debuted a year later with their 6 track (non-instrumental) EP Questions. After a year and a half of touring in and around London and supporting bands such as The Datsuns, Kid Galahad and The blueprint Opus decided to perform an instrumental one off show in their local area Frimley. Much of their set was improvised and the band played their set with total belief in what they were doing that night. From that day Opus have only ever performed instrumental sets.
In 2004 they went on to record their self-titled 30 minute long, one song self-released EP OPUS. They have since gone on to develop their distinctive style of heavy, yet melodic instrumentation and have been working to create new material. Sample Aura is the bands 3rd studio EP and was released on 10th March 2006. They recorded a free track called Antipathy which could be downloaded from their official site.
Their influences can be found in artists such as Tool, Mogwai and King Crimson.

The Opusition
Opus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I made a great invention, it's the new optimism pill
All I have is my intention, that's the saving of the nation
With the Opusition's Optimism Operation
Losing the tradition by the founding of the party
Finding suppositions for new fellows to come in
Only optimism, the definition and explanation
The Opusition seems like a vision (seems like a vision)
The optimism pill will change your mind (yeah, will change your mind)
The Opusition, no superstition (no superstition)
Vote the Opusition, the best you can find
Holding my position behind the window of the wall
Watching the oppression of the world, the ruined ball
Knowing my possession the great sensation of the nation
It's the Opusition's Optimism Operation
Dreaming of a vision on the pillow till I fall
Thinking on my mission, the meaning of the call
Feeling the progression, congratulation, no imagination
It's the Opusition's Optimism Operation
The Opusition seems like a vision (seems like a vision)
The optimism pill will change your mind (yeah, will change your mind)
The Opusition, no superstition (no superstition)
Vote the Opusition, the best you can find
My name is Doctor Vision, I'm the leader of the Opusition
I made a great invention, it's the new optimism pill
All I have is my intention, that's the saving of the nation
With the Opusition's Optimism Operation
The Opusition (the Opusition) makes you feel better (makes you feel better)
The optimism pill keeps you always kind (keeps you always kind)
The Opusition makes sunny weather (makes sunny weather)
The Opus's song The Opusition appears to be a political anthem that champions the new political party called The Opusition. The singer of the song is Doctor Vision, who happens to be the leader of this party. Doctor Vision has invented a new pill called the 'optimism pill'. He sees this as a great invention that will save the nation. The Opusition's Optimism Operation is the story of the campaign slogan of this new political party. The singer believes that only optimism can help the nation march forward.
The lyrics of the song highlight the positive things Doctor Vision plans to bring to the nation. By holding his position behind the window of the wall, he watches the oppression of the world, the ruined ball, and strives to make a difference. While dreaming of a vision on the pillow till he falls asleep, he ponders his mission and the meaning of his call, feeling the progression and congratulation for his mission. The new pill itself is supposed to be a cure-all, causing the people who take them to be kinder and always feel better than before. With the new optimism pill, which Dr. Vision calls The Opusition, everything will be bright and sunny, and the future looks promising.

Ein großartiger Song, ein großartiges Album. In dieser Nummer gibt es ein Traumgitarrensolo von Ewald Pfleger. Sie klingen da fast wie Toto. Ein Konzeptalbum mit guten Texten, das halt leider bei vielen Menschen nicht den Ton getroffen hat - aber wen wundert es!
