CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Jan. 19 2001, 15:04 Listen to the opening theme of To France. I have the feeling that it appears (in variations) in almost every other track of Discovery, too. Which places can you find? -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

Man In Rain Group: Members Posts: 84 Joined: Sep. 2000 Posted: Jan. 20 2001, 04:51 The theme appears clearly in Talk about Your Life (I noticed it when I was listening it for the first time). But in the other tracks I don't know... It's interesting. Maybe in Poison Arrows when they are singing 'hiding in shadows, poison arrows' or 'coming in closer'. Maybe in Crystal Gazing between 00:45-00:55. In Discovery the tune at 00:57-01:08 or 01:47-01:58. Any other ideas? Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Jan. 20 2001, 16:32 Thanks Man In Rain, yes these are some places where the thing I'm talking about happens. I made an experiment: I listen to the whole album, and each time a solo starts, I start humming or whistling that theme. Or imagine some strings play it softly in the background. In my ears, it works! It's fun! -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Feb. 11 2001, 16:19 YES, and: Ommadawn Part One Intro over The Source Of Secrets (from 02:47)! It works... -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Mar. 28 2001, 15:34 Discovered something else: Listen to North Star (Platinum) and sing the chorus of Talk About Your Life (Discovery) over it. It works... -Carsten- -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 27 2001, 19:37 So have you, reviving this old topic. And: What's wrong about free time? -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

Shingebis Group: Members Posts: 26 Joined: Nov. 2001 Posted: Nov. 03 2001, 21:32 Well, I'll be the next one to revive the topic... it's just occured to me that the Discovery theme is based around the chord sequence Em, D, Bm7, Em as mentioned in the reference guide. The more I think about it, the more I realise that this sequence appears *everywhere*... as well as the ones mentioned on that page, it also appears here in Discovery, the Ommadawn theme, Sentinel in TB2... much of Incantations part 4 (such as the xylophone section) is based on something similar, too.

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Nov. 04 2001, 13:51 Hi Shingebis, the same sequence was used for the Sondela/faso theme in Amarok. Most clearly from 44:46 where it appears in Ebm. But also in many other places. -------------- -Carsten- Back to top
