That'd be the one on three. It's unsetting because it sounds so much
like something, but I don't know what. I'd be very surprised if that's
a 'standard' percussive sound.
To go on a tangent, there's a fine line between a common noise used as
percussion and a percussion sound that can live on its own. Eg. the
cup and the cowbell. Whereas a glass cup being hit reminds the
presence of a cup, the cowbell is way into percussive instrument land
and does not bring to mind pastures, cows or other farmyard concerns.
On the other
hand, I've found that the bass (bassest ?) noise used
as percussion is a bit unsetting. When it is used in the
percussion break it is nice, but unless it represents something
that has to do with the meaning/lyrics, it kind of stands out and
does not blend enough with the other percussive counterparts of
same 'noise' and them all with the piece. IMHO, of course.
Hmmm. I'm not sure which sound you're referring to. Is it the one on
"one in every other bar", the one leading into sections or the one on
"three"? > It is not sung in English, isn't it ? Do you

The lyrics are Danish. I wouldn't want to bug the
list with it,
considered it's religious nature. I could translate it and send it to
you off-list if you're interested...
Sure. Thanks.
