WHAT?????? MUSIC FROM THE BALCONY IS GREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the ones who hate this track haven't got the right image. Here's my advise!!!
1)Wait 'till it's dark. MFTB requires the dark. 2)Turn on your cd-player and listen. 3)When listening to the music, imaging you're in a wooden house with a balcony (cosy house). Then suddenly, you begin to fly away towards the sky and you see the house getting more little. Look at the horizon and see the lights from other houses and city's. And look at the sky, the wonderful color mixed of blue and black. (this image worked with me because the first I listened to this track it was dark. I mostly listen to this track in dark) 4)This image from "3" only works at the times: 00:00 - 02:12, 03:02 - 03:23, 08:17 - 08:56, 09:12 - 09:27, 10:00 - 10:16, 11:55 - 13:58, 16:55 - 19:03. 5)I know Mike made this track in a hurry to get away from Virgin, but he just can't take away the "Oldfield" feeling from his songs even it is done in a rush. Many say HO is bad, well, IT'S NOT!!!
Fox: the "cracking" sound you meant that is heard throughout the song is a synthesizer sound. (made by the wonderful E-mu Proteus!!!! This synth was used mostly in this album)
