Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: June 21 2000, 18:18 Hi again...this is for GMOVJ especially but if the others want to join in, they're of course quite welcome!! GMOVJ, you said you have the original vinyl LP with sketches (probably by MO),on the inner sleeve, specifying exactly the places where each voice and each instrument is. So you can maybe help me on the following question: Can you tell me where and when do Tim Cross and Rick Fenn play their respective instruments (keyboards and guitars) since MO is (rather obviously) also credited with them in the sleeve notes? Thank you in advance. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

When I told about the inner sleeve, you've got to know that : 1) It's only the begining of Taurus 2 that is represented. 2) There's no time at all, you've got to interpret it !!! 3) It may be a joke by MO ! But all right, I'll try to find it (what a challenge !!! )! And if Olivier agree, I'll scan the innersleeve and send him. To publish it ? If you prefear I'll send it directly to anyone who asks. Bye to all GMOVJ -------------- Cheers, GMOVJ [URL=http://tubular.fodplanet.com]http://tubular.fodplanet.com[/URL] - The french speaking mailing list Back to top

I think Rick Fenn mostly plays the passages that aren't full of the Oldfield trademark vibrato, though there aren't other descerning characteristics of Rick's style. As for Tim Cross, it could be any of the synth passages. There aren't any really flashy bits of keyboard work that Mike couldn't have played himself - possibly the fugue bit of Oribadoo. The extra musicians weren't necessarily used for their unique skills, more for touring with Mike so that he had a proper band line-up Back to top

Just before the vocals begin, there is a bass solo, that sounds a lot like the bass improvisations Rick played in live shows from that era. Mike is a great bass player, but that "ornate" bass style is not typical for Mike. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top
