I have this problem with Ommadawn - lots of people love it and put it on par with TB, HR, Amarok etc. BUT IT STILL DOESN'T DO MUCH FOR ME! I just have this feeling that I am missing out on something great but each listen still sounds "ok" or "good" rather than "stunning". Why oh why am I still not connecting with Ommadawn  |
It's a mystery to me, Matt. Did you, perhaps, fall on your head as a child??*
Some suggestions for your next attempt...- turn off all the lights
- a candle or two may help
- make sure you're alone
- be in a state of emotional disturbance (ie: immediately after a romantic break-up or finding your goldfish belly-up)
- if all else fails... play it LOUDER
(* Actually, my mother was fond of telling me that, as an infant, I'd fallen out of my crib and cracked my head open. A story I'd never believed. For one thing, there's no scar. And for another, there were no further details such as "...and then I had to scrape up your brain in a dustpan and bring it to the hospital in a jam jar...") |
One of the stories my Dad used to tell me was that I'd been dropped off to earth by an alien spacecraft, he saw the UFO land , and dropped off a pod, he opened the pod and I was in it, maybe that's why I'm so out of this world  .
I have a similar problem to Matt with Amarok, can't get into it, no matter how I try.
I agree with Sweetpea, light some candles, and chill and listen to Ommadawn, or indeed play it when your in a state of emotional disturbance. It's weird but depending upon my state of mind when I play it Ommadawn can have me in floods of tears, perhaps a release for some negative crap. Another favourite of mine is to play Ommadawn whilst cuddling up to my boyfriend  , and sometimes this ends up as more than cuddling so put Ommadawn on repeat and try and have an Ommagasm , as Part 1 is reaching it's climax second time around    .
