dazzler Group: Members Posts: 103 Joined: June 2009 Posted: June 23 2009, 17:41 OMMADAWN is one of my favourite albums. I wondered how an ultimate rerelease of that album would look like. Which bonus tracks should be on it? Should we include lyrics, liner notes and some nice photographs? TRACKLIST Ommadawn (part one) Ommadawn (part two) On Horseback Portsmouth Argiers Why not include In Dulci Jubilo on this one? Maybe because I love the idea of having one funny traditional on every 70s album. Hornpipe on TB, In Dulci Jubilo on HR, Portsmouth on O, Cuckoo Song on I and Blue Peter on P. Even Polka could be considered as one more on QE2. I think the seperation between the second part of Ommadawn and the song that became known as On Horseback justifies a division between those two sections of the original part two. Back to top

dazzler Group: Members Posts: 103 Joined: June 2009 Posted: June 24 2010, 16:13 I have the deluxe edition at home now. And I'm proud of it. Maybe the picture on the sleeve is a slight bit too dark when I compare it to my vinyl copies ... but that's really the only point of critisism that I can think of here. I just love the tracklist. In Dulci Jubilo, Portsmouth, Argiers and last but not least First Excursion. It keeps me wondering if Mike wil include William Tell and Cuckoo Song on Incantations or just leave them alone? I listened to the new 2010 mix last nigt and it sounds very up to date. With much respect to the original feel of the album. I'm convinced. Nevertheless I will stuck with the 1975 mix, but that's nostalgic me. I'm very curious about the lost version ... will give it a try this weekend. Well ... to finish with ... there's one other point of critisism after all. The liner notes are overlapping a bit too much with the ones of Hergest Ridge. Yes, I can see the point of picking up the story by repeating some lines ... but they overdid it a bit. Back to top

Mind you that the In Dulci Jubilo sleeve in the deluxe edition booklet is the Dutch release of the single ... top 5 in the Benelux. Back to top
