Devour Music

T - MAC...!!! As per usual I concocted my own condensed version of this track making sure all the important parts and passages are accounted for. I tried molding the whole into a form which in classical music they would call a rondo: a constantly repeated main theme which is interspersed with variations and other themes. 0:00 = main theme (full version) 0:32 = variation 1 (introduction of new theme) 0:51 = main theme (repeat/shortened version) 1:07 = variation 2 (introduction of new theme) 1:31 = main theme (repeat/shortened version) Macalpine's classical passages were always a cut above those of his neo-classical colleagues and this one's no different: variation 1 ---------------- 0:32 = exquisitely worked out bridge (actually leading into the solo in the full version of this song) : starting off with A-Dm chords modulating to B-Em with Tony playing small and large arpeggio shapes intermingled with scale passages and even some chromatic colouring. This is followed by another modulation A7 to Dm and yet another from B-Em and all this within the space of just ten bars. variation 2 ---------------- 1:07 = lovely classical theme outlining the following chords: Am - G#dim7/A - Em/A - F#dim7/A - Dm/A - E Stoked! P. Tony Macalpine - best albums (in order of personal preference) : 1. Tony Macalpine - Maximum security 2. M.A.R.S. - Project : Driver 3. Macalpine - ' Eyes of the world ' 4. Tony Macalpine - ' Edge of insanity '
