Hallo, everyonei! Haven't written for ages... ;)

Maybe it has already been pointed out before, but couldn't find it anywhere...

Have you noticed that one of the "Amarok" themes was ALREADY in the "Tubular Bells" demo?

At the very end of "Peace-Demo B" you can clearly hear the part that would have become 11:33-12:45 on "Amarok" !

Sorry if this is nothing new...;)

When the 1971 demos first came out on TB 2003 DVD-Audio,that was the most impressive thing when I hearded it for the very first time!

True! Not only "Tubular Bells", but Mike's ideas themselves seemed ALREADY well shaped.

When I noticed that bit of "Amarok" 19 years before its creation I was very impressed!

Well, as far as I know, some other ideas of Mike's, which saw (officially) the light on Amarok, are earlier than that. Listen to "Branches" and "Mrs. Moon and the Thatched Shop" on the Sallyangie bonus disc: they're both from 1968. :)
