Incantations Group: Members Posts: 157 Joined: May 2010 Posted: June 06 2010, 14:52 I can't possibly decipher which part is my favorite, but there is one section that grinds my nerves. It's the part arround the 16 minute mark where the music is all calm then all the sudden it goes silent then theres a huge sound of breaking glass . I always forget how realistic it sounds! -------------- Hmm... Back to top

I like all of Amarok, except for the introductory minutes and the "anticlimax" after the tubular bells section. The Thatcher joke - like all jokes - wears thin after one or two repetitions.

Drealm Group: Members Posts: 170 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: June 07 2010, 11:09 Missed this thread too. It's a great question that deserves an answer: 13:17 to 14:59   Didlybom 16:11 to 18:00   Hoover 24:47 to 25:06   Fast Waltz 2 34:26 to 36:03   Slow Waltz   -> always liked that one very much. This part comes to my minds when I think about Amarok. There's no part I don't like, can't answer this one. Back to top
