Quote (nightspore @ Mar. 15 2019, 14:45) | As I think I posted elsewhere on the forum, I interpreted the music following shortly after the "Victory" melody as describing a battle. I've just noticed that the main rhythm in this is da-da-da-dah, "V" in Morse code. Typical Mike brilliance. |
Also, the chant section on side 1 has the reverse rhythm dah-da-da-da, implying that the Victory is a response to and antithesis of what goes on during the chant. Clearly, it can't be anything pleasant, if victory over it is required. In Morse code, dah-da-da-da represents the letter "B". In Greek, this is beta, which is a homophone of "beater". It would seem one or more people are being attacked in this narrative; they get their victory on side 2....
You could do a doctoral dissertation on this album alone...
