maanu Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 anyone remember this post from matt a while back? 'the 6/8 cycling monster has turned out truly gargantuan, it will have to end the album' yeah think that 6/8 cycling monster will be take a bow... and listen to the piano interlude... its 6/8... and matt said theyre gonna use it on the new album... maybe this could be the intro of take a bow with piano, synthies and strings...

Bewilders Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I'm not liking the intro at all. Is he just "oohh" at the start because he has no lyrics for that part yet, or is that the actual song? Because it goes on for far too long. I just like the bit where he sings the bit "You are not going to take me alive" or whatever it is. The return of apperigios make me happy though. It made me look foward to to the new album abit more now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocean5 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 The Telstar motif is a nice homage, yeah. Though to be truthful that was not the first thing which leaped out at me. I'm not familiar with Misirlou, I'm afraid . Misirlou is an instrumental from the Pulp Fiction movie soundtrack..the guitar sounds familiar halfway through KOC.

Be glad that you've had enough self-control till now and let it be...I couldn't help but immideatlely listen to the song and I regret it (not because I don't like it, but because I will have listened to it already 500 times when buying the album).

ADAM Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 The best moment is definitively at 3m05 s until 4m30s This 1m30 s thingy alone is worth buying the album hell yeah! :D :D Wow thats intense! hell yeah! :D :D I couldn't help but immideatlely listen to the song and I regret it (not because I don't like it, but because I will have listened to it already 500 times when buying the album). Yeah! Me too! HOWEVER - We still have lots more songs to look forward to. If I recieved them all at once, I wouldnt be able to appreciate them all fully....If you know what I mean. There would be too many for my brain to comprehend. By having the live version, It makes me want the album so much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 To be honest, I've listened to it 25 times and I probably won't listen to it much more before the album. I'll also go on a Muse-lent when it gets to my b'day (12th June) in readiness for the BHAR onslaught . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gocanux Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Misirlou is an instrumental from the Pulp Fiction movie soundtrack..the guitar sounds familiar halfway through KOC. Miserlou was USED in Pulp Fiction, but it is a tune by Dick Dale and the Deltones from 1962, as I alluded to in an earlier post. Here's the scoop: Dick Dale and the Del-Tones popularized "Miserlou" in 1962. Recently, the Pulp Fiction soundtrack introduced another generation to the tune. In fact, though, "Miserlou" is a Greek folk tune from long ago. Dale's '62 version largely defined the surf sound. He played it on Fender outboard spring reverb tank (along with a classic Stratocaster through a 1961 Showman setup). The original folk tune has lyrics, but--as you surely must know--surf music does *not* have lyrics! In "Miserlou" Dale limited his vocals to shouting "Hya!" and the like a few times. Dick Dale doublepicked "Miserlou" left-handed, on upside-down strings, at blinding speed. The original thus has about four times as many notes as you see here. (Dick Dale apparently learned to speed-pick from his Lebanese uncle, who played an oud with a turkey quill.) The popular '62 version of "Miserlou" sometimes *sounds* a semi-tone higher than it appears here, especially in the lower ranges. StratoCossack attributes tuning and/or recording flukes to the '62 version, however. Later recordings and observations at live performances bear out the approach set forth here, which resolves in E and puts exactly two octaves between the first and second guitar passages. If you really must mimic the '62 sound, trying bumping up the first guitar passage, on the low E string, by a semi-tone. One Predator suggests picking between the bridge and pickup. At any rate, use heavy strings and a fire-proof pick. (Source: http://www.tomwbell.com/Music/Miserlou.html) Way back in the 70's, my boyfriend's brother played 2nd guitar for Dale, so I know what I'm talking about! And yes, I am THAT old!!

MaTTH Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Been listening to this a few times today wondering where the trumpet's going to fit into the studio version. I am happy for it to go anywhere it likes as long as Matt's vocals from 1.30 onwards are maintained. Those screams are insanely fantastic. Listening to it on my iPod makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musesyndrome Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I can see the Ennio Marcone influence Matt was speaking about, also got a cowboy theme from "no ones gonna take us alive". I also got a feeling it was influenced by the style of Matt's father's band the Tornados. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
