I just learned that the trumpet on this song is played by (and the brass arranged by) none other than Gerard Presencer .
For most people I know, he'd be most easily remembered as the one who played the amazing trumpet solo (at age 18!) on US3's Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia) -- although he's done much, much more than that :)

Easily one of the most perfect songs ever. The arrangement, the sounds...the ethereal mindscape it conjures up...and THE VOICE...
—YEAH !

Interesting (to me) that I've never rated this song. Because at one time I imagine it would have been an 8, certainly a 7 for years. But I'm tired of it. 4.

The song would have been fine except for the last 5 seconds of tinnitus-replicating whine!
GET IT OUT OF MY MIND!!!!!!!!!!! {#Fire}

Today those horns are reminding me of one of the songs from one of the Conan movies...

or maybe I'm just imagining it.

No, I can see where you are getting that. Those movies had a certain dramatic use of heavy brass horns and a frequently chaotic drumming underneath it.

I loved those movies growing up. I watched one of them recently and was blown away. Movies like that don't get made anymore. It isn't so much that it was a fantastic movie (it wasn't) or the great acting (it's was really kinda mediocre), but the atmosphere and pacing of the movie built the suspense in ways that modern movies would never try to do. It would be too slow paced for today's audience.

In some ways, this music is the same way. If Zero 7 was a new act and put out music like this, they would have been regulated to a small niche.

In may ways, I feel bad for the text message, gotta-have-the-payoff-now generation. Of course, I'm on the earliest edge of that generation at 33.
