I remembered that only after the discussion ended. OK. By the way, I agree with you. The live version leading into "Etude", which I've just listened, to, is much better. What a pity a studio version doesn't exist. Back to top

Had forgotten how well composed it was where all the pieces fit together so perfectly. A little extra plus to Björn Json Lindh and hes flute! Cheers//Dan Back to top

AUTOMATIC 18 Group: Members Posts: 30 Joined: Aug. 2012 Posted: Aug. 12 2012, 14:42 This LP, Heaven's Open and Earth Moving are the my three least favourites! I love 'Flying Start' thought. Great song! And I like when Mike sings 'they had no choice' in the chorus behind Kevin! The Wind Chimes itself is long and meandering and inconclusive and finds Mike running low on inspiration! I bought the VHS version of this in the early 90s and the best thing was the older bonus videos Mike added for 'Five Miles Out and a few more!! Back to top

Magic Touch is the best, and Islands and Flying Star are good. But the Wind Chimes... -------------- Hailings from a Mexican Mike Oldfield's fan.

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1759 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Mar. 08 2014, 03:10 I tend to underrate "The Wind Chimes" because I think it pales in comparison to his other instrumentals from the 80s, but in fact it's a very interesting and beautiful piece of music. I have two objections though: -"part 1" (the introduction), which I find both dull and generic. As sounds as it was written by someone else. - the "play it silently-then play it loud"-dynamic employed towards the end of the piece that was oh so emotional in Taurus II and the Lake is starting to sound more bombastic here. With Amarok Mike would overuse this technique and to me it then sounded more its main purpose was to make the album 60 minutes long. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top
