Hey guys. Many years since I've posted here. I just wanted to drop by and share my complete studio remake of Amarok, arranged for and played almost entirely on keyboard instruments. This is an entirely new interpretation and an alternative, not a replacement, to Mike's original. I hope you all enjoy it.

Tremendous work, a great listen; thoroughly enjoyable - what incredible dedication.. 

I know for a fact that there are quite a few people who will appreciate the lack of Margaret Thatcher, although I have always been fond that section.  In a way, it might  have been funny to put her voice through a Steven Hawking type computer processor or make it in some other way futuristic sounding, or else rewrite her speech to make it reflect some modern goings on, maybe in an ironic way.  That would require a lot more work, of course.  Although an AI program could probably write the script in a matter of seconds, which in a way would be appropriate for today's world.

Some parts of it towards the last 10 minutes (54:25 -) remind me a lot of Stevie Wonder - Finale,  from Journey through the Secret Life of Plants, which is the highest praise possible since that is one of the greatest synth/progressive compositions and albums of all time.  It sounds like you're using the exact same instrument...

Anyway...now do The Songs of Distant Earth.....!  Or, for something shorter, why not have a go a Stevie Wonder - Finale, I think it would suit your style and instruments perfectly.  It's high time someone did a remake of that dazzling piece of musical genius, by far and away Wonder's greatest moment.
