Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Nov. 25 2000, 14:38 According to Steve Farrell's analysis it's Solta! Solta! (See quote below.) It's a nonsense word, but IMHO it can be an English mispronunciation of the Italian imperative 'Salta!' [=Jump!] although it has not much to do with the music... Quote «19:57-20:04 Solo guitar slows down, shouted vocals (sounds like Solta! Solta!) over top of this.» - From Steve Farrell's Amarok Analysis. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Dec. 01 2000, 16:00 Thanks! I used to think it was >somethin'<, spoken with some accent. But now I think there's no th. That's just a t, and it sounds strange because of the slapback effect (= very short delay). Could well be 'salta' or 'sculptor'. OK, that's not quite what one expects. But the whole of Amarok isn't, is it? -------------- -Carsten- Back to top
