MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Dec. 13 2007, 23:42 I was just watching my copy of the Elements DVD and noticed the credits for the Tubular Bells Part 1 performance at 2nd House and found Karl Jenkins name there for playing the oboe. Is it the same Karl Jenkins as the one collaborating with Mike on MOTS? -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Many excelent musicians took part of that performance BTW; Mike Ratledge, Fred Frith etc. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Dec. 14 2007, 13:42 Interesting. Mike has played with a lot of people I'm not surprised he didn't remember lol. That must have been one of his first performances too, I suppose. As for the other noted artists, I don't even know who Karl Jenkins is, really. So I wouldn't recognize any of those other names. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

That track came from collaboration with Miriam Stokeley, of whom we know from her involvment in The Millenium Bell (whether you love it or loathe it). -------------- Arron J Eagling Everyone's interpretation is different, and everyone has a right to that opinion. There is no "right" one, I am adding this post to communicate my thoughts to share them with like-minded souls who will be able to comment in good nature.

One of the pieces quoted by Arron is indeed called "Adiemus", and you've probably heard it a jillion times without knowing its title (or its composer). IMHO some of MotS (especially the ending of Shabda, and Aurora) sounds very like Adiemus. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

One of the pieces quoted by Arron is indeed called "Adiemus", and you've probably heard it a jillion times without knowing its title (or its composer). :D IMHO some of MotS (especially the ending of Shabda, and Aurora) sounds very like Adiemus. ;) I don't know much about all that Adiemus stuff, but I know that Karl Jenkins was member/bandleader of legendary band Soft Machine in 1972-1984. All their albums are worth checking out. Before that he was a member of Ian Carr's Nucleus, a even more legendary jazz rock band. As for the other musicians who played on that particular TB performance - someone had made a god job of getting the very elite of mid 70s avant-garde rock musicians. The chubby guy with the pony-tail is Fred Frith, who has recorded dozens of albums of experimental guitar pieces (some very good!). The keyboardist with the black moustache is Mike Ratledge (also of Soft Machine). There's also Mick Taylor (of the Rolling Stones!!!) and Steve Hillage (of Gong/System 7). Just search for any of those names and you will end up discovering the most fantastic music (Rolling Stones excepted here!). -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top
