Sammy Group: Members Posts: 43 Joined: Aug. 2011 Posted: Aug. 26 2011, 02:16 It's probably because of the lyrics to the Horse Song: "I like beer" - what else is that than an invitation to become an alcoholic? It's about time such dubious and immoral references were banned. Back to top

manintherain Group: Members. Posts: 545 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Aug. 26 2011, 05:18 This has probably to do with the fact that he recorded his magnificent solo on Part One whilst looking at some nudie mags. No kidding! Edited by manintherain on Aug. 26 2011, 05:54 Back to top

I guess in case of Ommadawn the movie never came out. It's probably the best kept secret of all best kept secrets Back to top

No kidding! He could of ended up being placed in the naturist, sorry naturalist section between Born Free & Old McDonald had a farm one states sheepishly . Xplicit I suppose may of at least put him in a category of his own, which would be much MOre fitting as I think we all believe his music is quite unique, I am just relieved he has not been placed in the campanology section. -------------- L◎ST ◎MMADAWN VERSI◎N RIDDLE ANSWER  mIChaeI GOrDOn OIDfIeId. =  I C   1  G◎D   OO ID I I or replace the L's that were turned in to I's & 1 gets ID◎L G◎LD ID◎L (4 ANSWER IN FULL + EXPLANATION, C ALBUM SECTION/☮MMADAWN/i-say-i-say-i-say-i-say-in-answer4XXX4Acr⊕ss Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: April 02 2012, 17:44 Again, I guess it's because of the jokes in the ending of the demo version. One voice in there says: "I don't care about that. How big's his bottle?". With a little stretch of that imagination, that may be seen as vulgar. After all, where do you put a bottle when you want to drink fom it? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

mindphaser Group: Members Posts: 46 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: April 04 2012, 04:58 There's quite a lot of absolutely un-explicit albums on amazon which carry the label "explicit". Even Michael Rother scored one explicit album (http://www.amazon.de/Suessherz-und-Tiefenschaerfe-Explicit/dp/B001SJE1HU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1333528787&sr=8-5) - the album title means "sweetheart and depth of field" (which is ok I think...), the other track titles don't have anything "slippery" in them and the album is purely instrumental!! Would be really interesting to know how amazon decides whether an album is explicit or not... -------------- www.facebook.com/thesiliconscientist soundcloud.com/the-silicon-scientist‎ Back to top
