And the RockBand version managed to restore Macca's original closing note, which was there before the whole thing was cut from the Abbey Road master tape and slapped at the end of it. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

I was about to argue that not having a chorus make better tunes, but those are by far the worst Pink Floyd songs! Maybe I should give them a second chance. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: July 07 2011, 19:54 @ Olivier: I have the vague impression that you weren't, you never were and you still aren't a Beatles fan. Am I right? @ nightspore: "Up the Khyber" and "A Spanish Piece", my favourite instrumentals from the More soundtrack (although I love all of it), also don't have a recognizable chorus. And "Wots...Uh the Deal", from Obscured by Clouds, also doesn't have a chorus - at least, not a proper one, IMHO. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Ugo, do you know the real background for the composition of "Up the Khyber"?    (Hint: Andy Mabbett and the Amazing Pudding crew got it completely wrong! Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: July 08 2011, 07:34 @ nightspore: well, apart from the fact that it was part of PF's live suite The Man and the Journey, which I've never heard in full, I don't know much about it. I do know the meaning of the title, though. Paul McCartney seems to have a tendency to create chorus-less songs, at least in his latest output. "Jenny Wren", "Fine Line", "Dance Tonight", "Anyway" - none of these has a real chorus, they're just extended verses. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Cirrus Minor and Green Is the Colour are both great. The other two, I'm not going to stand in their defense, but I think the More album is a lot more bashed and ignored than it should be. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

I do know the meaning of the title, though. Yes, the original version of the More film had a scene of anal intercourse between Klaus Grunberg and Mimsy Farmer. "Up the Khyber" accompanied that scene. But the scene was subsequently cut from the film, which is why you no longer hear "Up the Khyber" in More. It's quite effective, when you consider the heartbeat-like drums, and the thrusting stabs of piano - and the sudden collapse of the music at the end There have been threads on tubenet concerning whether tubularians like to make love with music in the background. It would be amusing to see whether anyone has ever done so playing UTK!   Back to top

I like "Cirrus Minor" too, although it consistently emphasizes all the "wrong" words: In a churchyard/ By a river.... I quite like "Crying Song" for some reason. "Cymbaline" is the odd one out as it has a chorus... Back to top
