Bjorn to be Wild

I couldn't resist with the name... and B can be a wild & crazy guy sometimes. (Hercules push needed)

      Hercules push
      "Born to be Wild" is a song from the Canadian-American psychadelic / hard rock group Steppenwolf, from their self-titled debut in 1968. It's one of their best known songs, and it hit the #2 spot on the American charts, as well as being used in the movie "Easy Rider". It's the first place where the term 'heavy metal thunder' was used in reference to rock music. Well, it was actually in reference to Harley motorcycles, but most people cite it as the first time that 'heavy metal' was used to describe music.

      To heck with it. That last run was so delightfully long and winding that I`'ll hang up a fifth star. Nice smooth Hercules as well. Very fun stuff. I was with @Jom in thinking an ABBA pun. Say whatever you like, but those Swedes knew how to write hooks like nobody before or since. :thumbsup:

      Dear Z: thank you for your help.
      As dear face de grenouille Jom stated a few cards ago, its always a pleasure ('lights up a smile here) to tap somewhere and see a white circle, and then frantically rotate the landscape to watch B on his obscure (because i did not take the time to plan but hey, it was logical) path. In so many less words :oops:
      And, no, to me it was not ABBA. I was expecting to read about this Iceland (?) lady who makes music (greatly musical music) as if producers don't exist :cool:

      @Jom Er, actually, I do like ABBA... ;)

      @D.S.Masters :rotf: You have a very board range of tastes, :thumbsup::D!! I like Abba too, spent a lot of time studying to their music! If it wasn't Abba, I was listening to Beethoven or Gilbert and Sullivan, :rotf::rotf::rotf:!
    • D.S.Masters
      @Jom I prefer Bach myself... though "Fur Elise" is very good. And yeah, I have very broad tastes.

      @Don G Rowe The whole thing looks very complex, but it's actually fairly simple... just 9 or 10 taps / moves for the whole level. As with most of my levels, it starts with a central idea - in this case, the Hercules and the Z movement - and grows from there.

      @D.S.Masters Of course Abba came to fame in the Eurovision song contest, which should have been tonight, :cry:!
      I am currently watching a compilation programme of Eurovision excerpts and people at home having fun with their own takes on songs from earlier years. It's brilliant! More fun than the real contest, :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:!

      And Abba just got voted the all time winner, :thumbsup::D!
    • mossieurclo
      @D.S.Masters Bach???!! OhYeah. :thumbsup:!
      My desert island 1 record allowed: Goldberg Variations.
      The #1 selling "classical" album: Switched on Bach by Walter (now Wendy) Carlos. All done on a Moog (1 voice at a time) and probably a couple Revox. Badly played but superb timbre research.
    • D.S.Masters
      @mossieurclo This is straying from the level, but what the heck - it's related. Some of my favorite Bach is "Toccata in D Minor", and the best version of it that I've have ever heard is from the "Rollerball" soundtrack (the 1975 version starring James Caan, not the later crappy remake with Dean Cain). Hearing that organ thunder out... whoa. :):eek:

      @D.S.Masters (Allow me to stretch the straying. Then i shut up, promised. Until your next music quote :sneaky:.)
      I'd love to read your impressions of this version of THE toccatta: Quintessence Sax Quintet, "Toccatta &Funk &Choral"
      They put out thunder too, along with lightning and maybe a few tornadoes :D.
      (You can FreeSpotify it, i couldn't get a link on Android)

      @D.S.Masters I once heard the Toccata in a centuries old church, seated on a wooden floored platform. ... You could feel the music vibrating in the floor, ..........!!!! Amazing!
