Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Sep. 23 2008, 15:50 I think I should belong more to the PRS group as that's what I originally hypotized (the sound being, to my ears, identical to the clean PRS solos in the HGP concert). But as I said above those solos are processed, so, yes, I think I should better belong to the 'any guitar' group. @ Ray: thanks for the smiley explanation - it's the first-ever time I see a peeing smiley... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Yeah ! It's right ; of course i'm not worried about to know which guitar Mike has used !I love the sound of all his guitars ! And the most important for me is that he has used again an Electric guitar . .... and i think that's what Tati wanted to say !   Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Sep. 25 2008, 20:04 @ Ray & Tubular Tos: isn't not caring about what guitar did Mike use on the track really the same thing as stating that it could be any guitar? Or does it imply some further, bigger indifference towards the whole matter? [Sorry for the very bad wording of the above. I just finished watching some stuff off Monty Python's Flying Circus on DVD, and its (talking) style is still buzzing in my head. ] -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Sep. 26 2008, 01:14 Why did nobody tell me this was available on iTunes USA?? I count on this board to keep me informed, and it was only through happenstance that I checked for it. So, now I'm a happy camper as I've been enjoying the full "Song For Survival". I'm still waiting for "Spheres", btw. I find the discussion regarding which guitar was used interesting. It's not important to me, personally, but as larstangmark once said, "Sex anb food are primary urges to man, but for you can squeeze in getting-to-know-about-mike-odlfied-recording-session-details in between the two. It's all about the details. It's small questions like these that I can sit and think about on my veranda with a cup of cofee and a walkman. It's wonderful. And it keeps the fear of global warming at arm's length." (Deja vu. I think I've used that quote before. And probably more than once! ) -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Sep. 26 2008, 07:52 @ Burning Fish: nope, I'd just finished watching the whole of the "Salad Days" episode ["Sam Peckinpah's Salad Days", the Cheese Shop sketch, etc.]. However, I guess that the Pythons' very English way of talking was more or less the same during the whole Flying Circus series (and it still is like that), so it could really have been any episode. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Is it one of your favourite MO pieces? It's one of mine. It's firmly enjoyable but hasn't reached 'favorite' status. What I like most is the guitar-playing. I could listen to Mike play guitar for days and days. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Marky Group: Members Posts: 390 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Oct. 01 2008, 18:52 What a pity, Tati...have to say I'm not an Itunes man yet but may get converted as I seem to be missing a few of Mike later tracks ...I've not heard Cook's Tune yet for instance. I have however ordered this album from Amazon on the strength of reviews I've seen about all of the music on it, which are really encouraging. It's a very interesting project and one I think will sound very engaging as it floats or marimbas off the CD player! Expect me around your way in a grass skirt and false knockers soon. http://markcslattery.spaces.live.com/ Back to top
