Are you even a musician? |
Depends on your definition. Either way, I'm not the kind who'd disqualify someone's opinions on those ground: people have ears, you know.
Quote | Ommadawn part 2, particularly the first portion, is very simplistic harmonically. It's in 4/4 time, in A minor, with a melody mostly composed of quarter notes at a very slow tempo. |
I only have my memory to rely on at this time, but that portion has quite a couple of modulations and left turns which are not very common on side one. Yes, rhythmically, it's very simple -- but that's just one aspect. And I have no idea what the tempo has to do with it.
Quote | I have learned and played both, and I can personally tell you that Ommadawn part one has a much tighter, more complex structure. |
Yes, definitely, the two parts are absolutely no comparison in terms of structure. I think it's fair to compare the "movements" and melodies individually, but not the two whole halves.
Quote | Also, sounds like you've completely missed the point of the emotions and mood at the climax of part 1. |
No, I don't think I really missed them: I just don't think they were well delivered.
