<< Enthused to be able to report a very special
moment - MOment - MOMENT! :-)
Today - for I think the first time in my life... I listened to Side One of
TFTO without falling asleep or losing interest! (a goal that eluded me in
my first 35 years of existance) :-)>>
Congratulations. You've just discovered one of the most beautiful,
incredible, awesome pieces of music ever made.
<
today.
Wonderful to finally be digging this one! >>
Good man. The Remembering is really misunderstood. Many people seem to get
frustrated because it seems too slow but really it builds into an amazingly
gorgeous and joyous work. The climax just tears your heart out.
All you need now is for the power, inventiveness, imagination and beauty of
The Ancient and Ritual to reach out and grab you and you'll have discovered
why Tales is such a classic.
I cannot use too many superlatives about this album, try as I might.
As a sidebar, which version are you listening to? If you haven't heard the
original vinyl on a good deck or the Japanese HDCD remaster (copies available
in Munich apparently!), you ain't heard nuthin' yet.

n.p. TftO. Must be the 5th time this week

I'm still hearing the crackling noises at the end of the side! Who misses
the "hidden messages" once recorded at the end of the record? People once
had manual turntable, and could hear these messages. Those with automatic
turntables wouldn't because the tone arm would lift before the needle hit
that last groove. For example- the last groove on the a side of The James
Gang- Yer Album says "Turn me over." and the b side says "Play me again!"
Anyone have other hidden messages? -David Eric

Hey Peeps,
For those of you stumped by my rant, Toby's Graphic Go-Kart was Rick
Wakeman's nickname for Topographic Oceans. He rants about it in his first
autobiog Caped Crusader.

I bet those teens thought you were a wierd bunch. Did they ask you to turn

Ah! that's where I've been going wrong. I have been using a divining rod.
Seriously, it is a buzz to share these moments with fekkow fans aint it?

Well I never sensed any tension when I saw them on that tour. I expected it
but I think Jon Anderson is the great peacemaker of the band. He certainly
has been able to heal many rifts down the years. I imagined he had convinced
everyone that they were friends and that the ego was an ugly thing.

Well I thought the 28 minute jam on LTE1 was pretty inspired and the whole
album is, apart from a few slightly weak ideas, quite impressive having been
composed and recorded in a week.

Don't you just miss white noise? and knobs you could turn and add manual
filter sweeps/VCO swoops? If the VCO's were replaced with top octave chips,
were the ADSR filters still voltage controlled?

By ear!???
One problem with knobs was that it was hard to reproduce a sound you had
previously because there were so many variable to remember. ie every knob
position. One synth player I knew had paper maps of the knobs on his synth
on which he drew lines to indicate the position of the knob. Didn't ARP
incorporate some kind of programmable analogue synth which remembered
settings?

I see someone mentioned Dirty Three, an Aussie band. Can anyone provide more
information about thier music style and releases? Is "Ocean Songs" a worthy
musical investment ?
