I like that work, but I'm more partial to the "Great Gates > at Kiev". (Gee...is Bill from Russia?). (I know, it's "Gate", but I > needed some "poetic license".) My favorite thing about that particular piece is that it was used as background music for a bank commercial, and they spent the whole voiceover talking about how "American" the bank was, and how, if you were really a "real American", you'd probably rush right out and deposit all your money there. All backed by the music of a Russian composer... I nearly fell off my chair laughing the first time I saw it, and I had to explain to the other people in Arby's why it was funny so that they didn't think I was a loon. > Anyhow, no..I have the Herbert Von Karajan/Philharmonia version, so no.. > should I dig it up? Well, it's nifty in its own right, if you like synthesizer music; I don't know how well the tarbell data would come over off the CD, actually; I had some problems with the direct-disk recording (vinyl top end recording technology) I have back when I had the equipment to do tarbell... so with it mangled onto a CD, there's probably no chance. Basically, I asked because I didn't get the whole thing, only pieces. 8-(. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer also do a good version (but no tarbell message).
