Multiple reply here...
@ Jim/Scatterplot: so I would be the soldier there? Even if I didn't exactly get the reference (Band of Brothers, maybe?), I like that role.
@ nightspore: what I don't like about Incantations is that I can't play the CD in one go (unlike Amarok or any of the TBs) because it nags me a lot. If I play the single parts, that's fine... more than fine.
@ tubularman: very nice clip, congrats. You stimulated me to put the whole of your Ultimate Bell album back again into my WMP's multimedia catalogue...
@ Sir M.: sorry to disagree with you, but to me the lyrics are actually very interesting, no matter what was Mike's purpose in using the poem(s). Also, very good points there about Liz Fraser and Björk. I'm not very much into Cocteau Twins because I don't like their style [although I have the Victorialand album, and I love it], but I agree about Liz's voice being fantastic. Björk would be maybe too harsh for a record like Incantations...
@ Warlock: sorry for misunderstanding you, of course not being able to stand a particular voice is entirely different from not liking an accent. It's not a problem of mine, though - there's not a single female voice in the whole music panorama that I actually can't stand. When I don't like a piece of music with vocals, what I don't like is the whole thing, not the vocals.
@ Dirk Star: you've got a spot-on comment there, about vinyl. It reminds me of something Ray Manzarek said about Doors (vinyl) albums being Side A and Side B; he said: "When a side ended, you had to get up and flip the record over, so you couldn't get too high". This is also one point that whoever did the remaster/remix for the 30th anniversary edition of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon completely missed, about the start of "Money".
