And the big mountain in Turkey has a name called Taurus. I though it was another song of another mountain! Well well! Thanks for the answer anyway!   Back to top

But that is one of the early work from me. It means (in my word) You can see a man sitting in the front of the wood and that path thats going along throuh the big hanging trees (that wisper in the morning). In the end of the path is light. The stone in the front i drugs or valium.   #far away on the other side, the night was so heavy and the (trees) air was alive But she couldnt find how to push through# Its a story about a man that get psycic sick and he eat so many drugs and the girl friend couldnt find a way to get through! The path is going a long way and he see the way  far away on the other side!    Little scary maybe...? ha ha   If you find it than click on the picture and check it out! Can you se the the little bell???? (Tubular bell on the left side???) Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Mar. 10 2006, 11:01 I may be wrong on this, but I think that M.O.'s Taurus One was supposed to be just Taurus... and indeed it IS just Taurus in the booklet of QE2 (at least in my copy). Then maybe it was renamed Taurus One in the reprints of QE2, after M.O. had come up with Taurus Two and Three in the next albums. So the synth reference, although very nice, may be a coincidence. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

I'd better get mine out and check, but I thought when I got QE2 as an LP when it first came out, the track was "Taurus I". -------------- "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
