Both the Ommadawn ending are FATC are amazing endings, really intense, and they do have the same feel. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

He does use similar patterns of notes in places and it does share the same kind of feel. There's also the fact that he places the Ommadawn Part One drums underneath (as meentioned by raven), and uses Clodagh Simmonds's voice - I'd say that's evidence that he was looking to create an Ommadawn feel with that finale.

A LOT of fans love Ommadawn more than any other album. Maybe that's part of the reason behind TB3's success? -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.
