Maybe it has already been pointed out before, but couldn't find it anywhere... Have you noticed that one of the "Amarok" themes was ALREADY in the "Tubular Bells" demo? At the very end of "Peace-Demo B" you can clearly hear the part that would have become 11:33-12:45 on "Amarok" ! Sorry if this is nothing new...;) -------------- The last 80 seconds of 'Amarok' are one of the reasons for being happy to live in this planet. Back to top

When I noticed that bit of "Amarok" 19 years before its creation I was very impressed! -------------- The last 80 seconds of 'Amarok' are one of the reasons for being happy to live in this planet.

Listen to "Branches" and "Mrs. Moon and the Thatched Shop" on the Sallyangie bonus disc: they're both from 1968. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
