A while ago, I mentioned that a part of "Light + Shade" reminded me of a part of "Amarok". I was asked which part, and did not at the time remember where it was.

I just found it. It is the section of "Amarok" that starts around 27:16 (in the middle of "Boat"). "Rocky" on "Light" reminds me a lot of this "Amarok" section.

Ah yes, the "Riverdance" section. :) Well - as a really devoted Amarokian I must admit that a certain resemblance is surely there. Same key, same piano timbre :) and almost the same notes. Congrats for spotting this, Hiawatha. ;)

As well as "Amorok's" 'Boat', the lower mix rythem piano in "Rocky" reminds of the lower mix acoustic rythem guitar in "Peace" from "Tubular Bells 1".  :)  :)
