Antoneey Group: Members Posts: 4 Joined: July 2005 Posted: July 02 2005, 22:57 I find that the first 6 minutes of the track is so strange sounding, and yet amazing to listen to... but as soon after you hear a little laugh, that inspiring first climax got me captivated! -------------- ''If at first you don't succeed, try and try again'' Back to top

Locutus Group: Members Posts: 23 Joined: June 2005 Posted: July 03 2005, 04:23 the 'problem' with amarok is so many twists.every change in the main theme makes u climactive about the last one .looking at it as a whole track eases the experience. (i never liked the 'tracks' version anyway) Back to top

Sysiyo Group: Members Posts: 245 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: July 27 2005, 15:11 Personally I prefer the second climax after 30 minutes. Then again, there aren't any bad parts on the album. Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: July 28 2005, 08:30 The only bad part is the ending: it comes too soon. This one should have been 120 minutes long. But I should realize that endings are just beginnings. -------------- "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

The Bell(end) Group: Members Posts: 1051 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Aug. 14 2005, 10:29 I think that speech is an odd thing to put in an album but just look at the instruments list, the main charm of Amarok is it's weirdness!   I like the morsecode though hehehehe   -------------- When the night's on fi-ya, do you need love's arms to hold yew? :D Back to top

Sysiyo Group: Members Posts: 245 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: Aug. 14 2005, 15:32 In the end the speech is actually quite telling about the album, "endings are just beginnings" is basically how it's been constructed, with the ending of each section being the beginning of the next. Back to top

The Bell(end) Group: Members Posts: 1051 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Aug. 23 2005, 08:54 my favourite crescendo is the one at around 43 minutes (I think that's when it is)   -------------- When the night's on fi-ya, do you need love's arms to hold yew? :D Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1350 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Mar. 31 2014, 07:18 I've always loved the first climax after 6 minutes, It's a great prelude to the rest of the album. The whole Thatcher speech thing shouldn't work, but it does, I wonder if that was Mike's idea or Tom Newman's? Back to top
