I feel the same. It happens relatively early in the piece and, for me, it's the first real indicator of the character of Amarok. Of course, the multiple climaxes later on are enormously thrilling, as well. I'm reminded of something Holger said: "Certain people have been trying to talk me into visiting a fan convention... I never really wanted to though. However, doing a wave at the climaxes of Amarok and Ommadawn would be reason enough for me to go, I think."
