\"iao_chant\"<\/a>
\nAMT is a band I have always respected more than listened to. No matter how great they are to experience live, I can’t find a record that changes this. I mean I think they’ve put out some good recordings of some memorable songs, but I don’t know any of their records front to back. Until now. I mean like right now. Because while writing this post I had to really listen to the song and pay attention to the parts of it and I’m pretty into it. I was going to go more with something like, “well, you have to be there”. “There” being in a crowd of people dancing inside a cloud of pot smoke illuminated by lasers. While that helps, this is hardly an aimless jam. (“This” is a single 51 minute track, not entitled “IAO Chant From the Cosmic Inferno” but “OM Riff From the Cosmic Inferno”.)<\/p>\n

First, some words on “The Cosmic Inferno”: I can’t really tell the different incarnations of this band apart. I don’t really know why they do it, but I like that they do it. You can get more info about that some place else. What am I, gonna rewrite a Wikipedia article? I’m not. It’s just something that should be mentioned. I didn’t put it in the title of the post at first so it would fit in one line, but it didn’t fit in one line anyway. This really bothered me, so I put it in and now it fills out two lines very nicely. But maybe your screen resolution is different and it looks terrible. I’m trying not to think about it.<\/p>\n

Also, this is basically an extended semi-stealth cover. I didn’t know this until I read the notes on this bootleg<\/a> which I mentioned in the last meta post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Om Riff *a musical portmanteau of Gong’s “Master Builder” and Steve Hillage’s “The Glorious Om Riff”. Also known as OM Riff, also known as Om (or OM) Riff From the Cosmic Inferno.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OR IS IT. Short answer: yes. That’s kinda it. Resorting to wiki, we find Om Riff<\/i> is just Hillage’s remake of Master Builder<\/i><\/a>. Hear both here<\/a> (or not<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Alright, so they just remade it again and added the chanting part. Well they added some stuff and stretched it out, but the “chant” is from another version of Master Builder<\/i> from the live album Gong est Mort, Vive Gong<\/i><\/a>. It’s at this point I start to become concerned about my inconsistent usage of italics vs. quotation marks but I am resolved to continue regardless, but why? Why do I do it. Why does it keep—oh.
