hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Dec. 04 2006, 09:47 I know that Mike Oldfield underwent "exegesis" during the middle of making "Incantations". Is there any clear idea which parts are pre-exegesis, and which are post-exegesis? -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Dec. 04 2006, 17:12 As far as I remember, the whole of part 3 was composed after exegesis. For the other parts, the line is a bit blurred as some bits were composed before and some after. More than half of part 1, before the percussion comes in, may well date from before exegesis, as well as most of part 2, but I think that the sung bits in parts 2 and 4 (the 'poetic' ones) were all written after. Anyway, I think that Korgscrew knows more than me. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

They helped people to get rid off all anger and frustrations. I remember reading they get so intense that people are even puking and going all weird. It must have helped Mike though,, as he even (shortly) married the daughter of the course instructor. (If I read correctly) -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top

Maybe they lived separate for 2 years, and both Mike and his wife agreed to the divorce. -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.
