It's clearly English words being sung but I can't really seem to figure them out. Anyone else had more luck? (I get the impression that it has something to do with flying as well, but I might be totally wrong...) Back to top

It continues the flying theme in the lyrics You might find it somewhere on the web. I can't be bothered to look it up or to work them out myself for a transcription. Off the top of my head, two of the lines are "Message comes from Katmandu / Sky is blue and clear" Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: May 08 2004, 08:09 There's actually a transcription here. I've never really checked to see if it's accurate or not, but it seems close. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 08 2004, 18:24 I think that this is much better. This page is taken from a (rather good, IMHO) Czech website, but it's on hundreds of other places on the WWW, including amadian.net. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: May 08 2004, 18:52 I couldn't say it's much better, but it does pick up a few words that are missing from the tubular.net version. We can sort that out... 'Soaring over country land' isn't right - there aren't enough syllables in what's sung! It may be 'soaring over land'...it goes a bit strange I'd need a bit of convincing on the "Let's make another moment" sample - it sounds like "Let's make thunder move in" to me. The second starts with "Don't have to do..." with the next word sounding like 'extra' - it's certainly doesn't sound like "Yeah, let's do it specific" though the end does sound like 'specific'. I see the tubular.net transcription is wrong with the "...and I pay someone else to make the orchestrations" line. I'll try and assemble a definitive version of this and we can change all that. To be really honest, some of those vocoded lines are so unclear, they could be just about anything! Orabibidet, as it may... Back to top

But I liked the tubular.net version so much!   Anyway, nice to see I started something that might turn out to result in a useful piece of Oldfieldology here   Back to top

[...] I'd need a bit of convincing on the "Let's make another moment" sample - it sounds like "Let's make thunder move in" to me. The second starts with "Don't have to do..." [...] 1) May it be perhaps 'soaring o'er country land' ? 2) The ending of the first sample is, to my ears, "another momént", with the accent on the E like it was French. The next one, I hear it as "Yah, let's do it specifìque" [French accent yet again. ] I just can't hear "Don't have to do". Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker? Anyway, very good points overall, Richard. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

I hear an 's' or 'z' at the end of the first sample - as it was completely a French version of the film. About the second one - it's very strange but I think it's not 'Yeah, let's do it' at the beginning. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

ImAFoolAndImLaughing Group: Members Posts: 536 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: Mar. 08 2006, 19:00 The second sample sounds a little bit German to my ears... am I right in thinking I can hear the word "Deutsch"?? Any thoughts?   Tony -------------- "I was in this prematurely air conditioned supermarket and there were these bathing caps you could buy that had these kind of Fourth of July plumes on them that were red and yellow and blue and I wasn't tempted to buy one but I was reminded of the fact that I had been avoiding the beach."
