CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Dec. 01 1999, 15:54 I spotted two well-known themes on TMB: A vocal/chorus theme on track 3 and 5. And a Piano theme on track 8. (Please read my TMB review in this forum). WHERE ARE THEY FROM? Please MAIL to me!!! (Notice: I'm not a lawyer or something, who wants to criticise. I *LOVE* MO. I don't mean any harm. It's just an academic poser for music insiders) Carsten -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Dec. 03 1999, 18:44 1st idea for Trax 3 & 5: Russian national anthem. -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Dec. 13 1999, 16:46 Am I only replying to myself? Come on, all you fans out there ... ! Well, today I listened to a song on the radio which had the same melody again (TMB Trax 3 & 5, russian national anthem?). I think it's a chart song, but the radio man of course didn't say by whom it is (they never do these days). Can anybody help? Carsten -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

tom Group: Members Posts: 3 Joined: Feb. 2001 Posted: Dec. 15 1999, 08:40 Hello CarstenKuss! I found an interesting thing on TMB: Let's listen to the beginning of Liberation (to 00:25). Just the same step-dancing theme in the background like before the "Hello everyone" part on Amarok... TomTom PS: I think, track 3 is similar in sound-feeling to the Vangelis/1492... Back to top

Wojtek Group: Members Posts: 52 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Dec. 22 1999, 07:53 Right, Tom! Track 3 is similar to Vangelis 1492 - Conquest of Paradise. It's not only similar - it is a copy. Mike is a naughty boy. Why he doesn't know cribbing is something wrong? Back to top

Unregistered Posted: Feb. 01 2000, 07:33 I think that "Broad sunlit uplands" sounds familiar, it sounds like some classic movie theme... But I'm not really sure. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Feb. 08 2000, 21:27 I've heard other people say Broad Sunlit Uplands sounds like a movie theme as well...none of us have been able to place it yet, though... Back to top

Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1865 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Feb. 08 2000, 23:07 Liberation similar to Vangelis' Messages on album Voices (track 8) Enigma 4's Beetween Mind & Heart (Track 10) similar to Sunlight Shining Through cloud Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: April 16 2000, 18:17 Hi, CarstenKuss...I've already e-mailed this to your address...this is just a security reissue in case you do not receive it... I think that the piano theme in BSU is a cross-up between Love Story by Francis Lai and an untitled theme from Indecent Proposal, by John Barry, occurring at about 7:15 in the Instrumental Suite from the IP Original Soundtrack CD. P.S. Did you read my reply in the "Chant in HR" topic on the Lyrics and Language forum? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: April 16 2000, 18:24 Oops! I forgot... CK, you're absolutely RIGHT about the Russian national anthem. I know a song called "A Ja Ljubilju SSSR" [«Yes I love USSR» in Russian], by an Italian (!) pseudo-Communist group called CCCP: the two guitar solos in it are based on the same melody. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 13 2000, 19:27 Right. There is a MIDI of the USSR National Anthem at http://www.funet.fi/pub/culture/russian/lyrics/political/ I think, "Santa Maria" is very similar to that (only slower), ISN'T IT??
