Dirk Star Group: Members Posts: 1331 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: Oct. 06 2008, 12:05 I was just thinking about that same song after I posted my reply before.I always thought that was a great track and doubly so I guess on that album because you had Sting all entrenched in this Jung/Synchronicity stuff.And then I could be wrong but I just thought Andy Summers did that song as one big jokey wind up towards his band mate...Ah no wonder it all turned so sour in the end.I loved that album though at the time.

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: Oct. 08 2008, 16:16 I have been listening to "Hiawatha", and paying attention to the words. The word "water", pronounced war-tar - ("war" as in war) and ("tar" as in tar), is sung 13 times. I would say that it's a  kind of (posh) London, English accent,  -"may I have a glass of war-tar". -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: Oct. 09 2008, 02:48 That is probably the best description of it.I must admit to quite liking it though. Maddy Prior is one of those English folk singers that have that very English middle class accent,as did Sandy Denny and the lady from Pentangle (don't shoot me guys it's early morning here and i forgot her name).Listen to her speaking at the beginning of the Exposed DVD.   I do refer the Ode To Cynthia bit on side 4 though to be fair cos it's shorter. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.

Might make her blush. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

New Incantation Group: Members Posts: 85 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: Oct. 13 2008, 08:40 Incantations, was my first MO album buy. Surprisingly I wasn't influenced by Tubular Bells or Ommadawn. But a friend had purchashed it in 1979 and I got chance to borrow it and was immediately spellbound! To me its Mike's most accomplished album (which may explain my username on here ) and I never tire of the Maddy Prior offerings, even if the songs are a touch repetitve. For me they're the perfect form of relaxation & harmony for an addled brain. Having said that its been quite awhile since I last listened to Incantations. Must change all that when I get home tonight and continue my current reading of Lord Of The Rings while listening to my favourite MO album to date   Back to top
