And also in the intro to Punkadiddle the riff Mike plays at about 0:34 Mike later used for the beginning of Taurus 1 on QE2 the very next album. Anyone see these before? -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things. If all the world was blue there would be no colour blue." Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Dec. 03 2005, 09:19 There's a very obvious example of an entire tune in Amarok (Roses) being reused on TSODE (Let there be light). And a melody from part 1 of Ommadawn is re-played at a much slower time (on bells) at the very end of the first section (the 64-guitar one) in part 2. There's a lot of other examples, but these are the only ones that pop into my mind right now. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Not so very obvious, though. Took me fifteen years to hear it, and even then I heard it only after someone pointed it out to me, recently, and even then only after several attempts! Perhaps I'm the original cloth-eared nincompoop? Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Dec. 03 2005, 13:19 I heard TSODE first and it became my favourite album after not so long and then I heard Amarok and recognized it right away. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Hang it on your shingle with pride. ...or not, depending on how you look at 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.

Yeah, but we all knew that YOU weren't a cloth-eared nincompoop, Brandon. Back to top

It looks like it, Alan. Well of course I'm full of admiration for anybody who can hear anything in among all those wailing sirens, banging saucepans, clog dances, smashing glasses, and vacuum cleaners.   Back to top

I've never heard Platinum though. -------------- "A people who would sacrifice liberty for security will lose both, and deserve neither." Ben Franklin Boogs is fo' da chode man. Back to top

Or No Man's Land either. Which part, if I might ask? -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

stevenmd779 Group: Members Posts: 248 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Dec. 03 2005, 23:50 It's like the synth part at the end of Top of the Morning. I couldn't remember if it sounded like Jewel in the Crown or No Man's Land, so I must just be Jewel in the Crown. -------------- "A people who would sacrifice liberty for security will lose both, and deserve neither."
