But for some reason I never noticed how similar the mood, rhythm etc of "The Shining Ones" are to "Underwater Castle" from Tres Lunas II. Clearly MO has definite ideas and feelings about the underwater realm - hence the similar pieces of music. Back to top

Now he's is bahamas he could do something similar to what Pink Floyd did on 1971. By the way - 'Echoes', starting with the sonar of a submarine, the most sublime track ever made by Pink Floyd, along with 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond'. -------------- The most precious thing I possess, is knowing the answer's yes Back to top

The clever thing about both TSODE and "Echoes" is that they both make space and the sea seem indistinguishable. Back to top

I don't think the space/underwater translates with all such pieces Jarre's waiting for Coostow for example But I agree with the two mentioned Back to top
