Last song on side ...Yep, green album = "Samarkand". Last song on side 2. Complete with seagull and ocean sound effects. :)<BR/><BR/>"Marimba", sort of.... it's one of the presets on the SK-5! Ha. I was listening to a lot of Dead Can Dance at the time & that 'marimba' part was the result.<BR/><BR/>I lived in Philly from fall 1994 to March 1995. I worked third shift at the Kinko's on Penn (or was it Penn State?)'s campus. Michael Million was out there going to art school & I was doing nothing with my life, so I moved out there. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Too bad I only got to see him like five times in six months! It's okay though, I learned a lot while I was there. I'm not bitter at all, for once.<BR/><BR/>:)Ian Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16251474197717501127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503637700810172588.post-22306716337069949952007-08-03T09:10:00.000-04:002007-08-03T09:10:00.000-04:00Steel drums.

Was it Maracand...Was Maracanda on the green album? Was it Maracanda or Samarkand on that album, if it indeed was on the green album?<BR/><BR/>Wow... is that a marimba in there? That sounded great. I'm reading a book on the 'complete' Rolling Stones recording sessions at the moment. Honestly, I dig some of the Stones' tunes, but I honestly don't have much of their stuff other than the greatest hits. Anyhoooo... alot of their early hit singles had alot to do with Brian Jones futzing around new instruments, like the sitar (on Paint It, Black) and Under My Thumb where he played marimba (which is why this song reminded of that fact.<BR/><BR/>And when the hell did you live in Philadeliphia? <BR/><BR/>*insert Spinal Tap 'Stonehenge' song here*Darrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02682488707905935962noreply@blogger.com
