hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Nov. 28 2005, 15:14 I think I'll go for the "Tubular Bells" disc. Why? This rocking transformation of "Tubular Bells" is quite different and brilliant. The break in the first section ("Exorcist") when the strings cut in with the bass guitar line is one of the best moments anywhere. Incantations? The first section IS better in "Exposed". You'd think that the sound would be much better in a studio version, but not here. However, I do prefer both of the trumpets in the trumpet duet to be trumpets, and that short electronic arpeggio that I love so is missing from just before "Diana, Luna, Lucina". -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Dec. 11 2005, 00:23 I can't stand that stupid little dance he does when he performs Guilty, he looks like a dweeb leading other dweebs and it puts me off the whole track which is of course quite good. So I voted for Incantations. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Dec. 19 2005, 16:35 my mistake. I was voting thinking of the music Cd, not the video! -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

I couldn't agree with this statement more. Wouldn't it be great to find out how this arrangement came about. I think it has something to do with numerous jam sessions, based around Pierre's groove on drums with the bass picking up off that. I don't think it would have been Mikes idea entirely, but then again, he might of had that bass line in his head for years and told the guys exactly what to do. Has Mike ever talked about this arrangement in interviews etc? -------------- How can they NOT like my music! Back to top

Redvers Group: Members Posts: 23 Joined: Oct. 2005 Posted: Dec. 20 2005, 07:51 Have to go for Incantations. I play TB in all its forms, Amarok, TSODE and Incantations more than the others, though L and S it getting a fair spin at the moment and for me this performance of Incantations just makes me realise how much good it is and how much I enjoy listening to it. The short interviews at the start was interesting - would have been even more interesting to find some of those involved and see how they look back on the experience. -------------- Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Dec. 30 2005, 23:44 I nearly voted for TB--I love the fun that they're all having, as well as the arrangement--it's quite a change. But Inc was--well, it's Inc. They're both missing a few components that I reallly like on other recordings, so all in all, I'd have to say that I like them about the same--which is quite a lot. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist."
