CuNimb Group: Members Posts: 222 Joined: July 2003 Posted: Aug. 08 2005, 08:11 Forgive the lack of musical terminology (I'm not a musician), but has anyone else spotted little gems of "tunes" that maybe you can only hear through headphones or that you don't normally notice because you are concentrating on the main instruments? My fave is a little tune which you can hear on The Bell (tb2). It is a little wavering synth tune which runs most of the way through but becomes particularly audible when the perussion kicks in at 0:43. This tune I believe forms a good part of Orbular bells. Any one else like this tune or have any others to share? -------------- Happy? ha ha ha.... Back to top

There are more but at the moment this was the only one that came to my mind. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top
