To eliminate anything would be to destroy Ommadawn as a whole. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

HRFanUSA Group: Members Posts: 128 Joined: May 2009 Posted: July 15 2009, 08:07 Initially, I found the beginning of Part Two to be entirely too congested and irritating! As with other Oldfield works, (HR in particular,) after several listens I realized the intent was to create the dramatic contrast between the unnerving beginning of Part Two of Ommadawn and the very quiet and serene guitar section directly afterward - the chaos and then the peace - so to speak; the emotion of each part totally enhanced by the other. Now that I "get it" (as many have said in these forums,) I respect how each part depends on the other, something Oldfield knew from the start... Back to top

Just such a hectic adrenaline pumping climax. And the end of part two JUST before On Horseback. Back to top

I love the sound of the deep synths mixed with the guitar. There are no synths and no guitars in the first 5 minutes of Ommadawn. It's a harp and an organ. A (string) synthesizer comes in slightly later. Anyway, I agree on both of the other points. The "la-la-la" singalong part right before The Horse Song is particularily effective. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
