This might make some Moonchild haters think twice. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |

| The last few times I heard Alan's Psichedelic Breakfast, I actually found the music rather pretty... too bad about the breakfast sounds breaking the song in parts... so I ended up voting for it... even if I really like well enough the "song" part of Moonchild. |

APP is a suite of nice songs strung together by breakfast sounds, which I could do without. I have always found Moonchild a gorgeous song, even when it rambles. Voted Moonchild. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

I love Moonchild and have often explained why. the much hated section of it is an attempt to express the lyrics instrumentally. there are a lot of lines for which this is in my opinion obvious, for example the line "waiting for a smile from a sunchild", which is a metaphor for the sunrise. in classical music the sunrise is always depicted by a C-major chord; examples are Haydn's oratorio "Die Schöpfung" ("The Creation"), Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt Suite" or Richard Strauss' "Also sprach Zarathustra". and how does Moonchild end? with a C-major chord. and this is just one example -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Not a hater of either, but Moonchild is the clear winner for me. |

Two songs that arise from interesting ideas but which are poorly developed and in a verbose way- Anyway, Moonchild fly at a higher level. ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. |

Moonchild - for its fascinating instrumental section. Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast stands to me as the weakest part of Atom Heart Mother.

Moonchild - B+ Lived this song and wanted to relive it again someday. APB - B- Lived this one too, but didn't want to relive it, ever again ! ------------- I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you. Robin Williams. |

| I might add that, while I do like the song part of Moonchild, I don't really have the patience for the whole song... if I am thinking about listening to a song. But if I'm listening to the whole album, then it's actually an enjoyable part of the whole. |

Hi, I'm not sure that simple stoned and recorded piece can compare to the incredible feeling/story for "Moonchild". Not to mention that its idea may have come from a famous novel and applied the idea to the modern-day hippie girl ... about to be raped and killed of its innocence. We STILL don't get it! Bad choice of compares in my book. Might have considered two pieces that were very occult based (as opposed to fake and cardboard with bats!), or two pieces that were very stoned based. The Byrds song, would be more interesting and appropriate here! But prog'rs even considering the Byrds? Get Ce-Real! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |
