CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Jan. 27 2001, 16:06 Oh! Never noticed that! But in my ear, the connection between the two I mentioned is much closer that with the other two (eh... got me?) -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Jan. 27 2001, 16:07 ...other THREE, sorry. -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

Archangel Foster Group: Members Posts: 215 Joined: Oct. 2000 Posted: Jan. 27 2001, 21:49 You're right, to such a degree that when I first heard Four Winds I thought he was ripping off himself - which of course is nonsense because self-quotations have always been an important part of his work. (The same is the case with another pair of songs from TBIII/Guitars respectively, but I forget which, I always have difficulties remembering which title belongs to which piece). An obvious difference between the two is that Four Winds lacks the electronics, though. Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Jan. 28 2001, 16:03 Interesting, Archangel. I checked it, and maybe you're talking about Cochise and Jewel In The Crown. -Carsten- -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

Jammer Group: Members Posts: 641 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Feb. 02 2001, 19:31 Well Amar does sing in JITC and you could say Mike makes the guitar sing in Cochise .... no never mind the self quoting on these pieces is the most similar out of any that I know of (not counting Taurus 2 with Oribadoo which were both on the same album). At first I thought he was just stuck for ideas, but then I realised the significance of it, both pieces have totally different moods. JITC is a new age, enigma-style, oriental piece wheras Cochise is Mike on his native instrument, and you get the feeling of moving. Incidentally, don't you think that this track goes the best with the sleve design of the cars (crazily driving on the left side of the road !!). They must have got the idea for the cars when Mike played them Cochise Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Feb. 03 2001, 10:25 Hi 2distortedguitars, interesting idea with the cars; never thought about it! Of course, in the UK it would NOT be strange that they drive on the left side. They're also driving in the RIGHT side in some pics. And there are the letters KOD AK..., probably from the original film. Maybe these can help to find out what the original orientation was. But then, maybe not. And maybe it's all unimportant Funny: There are some lines on the road which look like Mike's guitar frets to me! -------------- -Carsten- Back to top
