The Great Event

Post by jerry »

The song The Great Event from the More Best Of cd to my ears sounds eerily similar to the song Dear Heather.

I agree. Maybe it's because of their experimental structure?

The voice on "The Great Event" is reportedly electronic. Is that the case with Dear Heather? I wasn't even certain if that's the case. "The Great Event" is [as I recall], also, the Moonlight Sonata played backwards, at least a portion of it. I haven't been able to listen to "The Great Event," yet ~ so I was going by memory, and hadn't come up with enough that's tangible and reliable, so as to comment. I found it interesting that you commented that, but didn't want to say, "That's interesting." :roll:

I can unabashedly agree, however, with what Tom's comment says. The experimental aspect is clearly there.
