  Mike Oldfield - Tubular.net - Amarok
Amarok was originally intended as a sequel to Ommadawn.
Mike said he imagined Virgin executive Simon Draper listening to the album in his car and turning it up loud, only to be suddenly frightened to death by a loud synth brass stab.
Mike was annoyed at Virgin's lack of promotion for the album (although if he really had made it deliberately uncommercial, Mike would surely have expected them not to promote it...), and so took out his own advertising campaign.

 Amarok - Heaven's Open
Amarok seems to me to be a total reworking of the ideas that inspired Ommadawn, up till this his best album.
Amarok is not a new style because where is nothing like the CD and I doubt that there ever will be something like that.
Amarok, ommadawn2?(face through rainy window),maybe.Anyone who doesn't like this album doesnt really understand Mike Oldfield(frustrating to hear the FEW who dislike this album citing inferior music as being better)Just a brilliant album and a firm 2 fingered salute to record company pressures, including morse code insults.

 Mike Oldfield on Amarok
One of Oldfleld's main intentions on 'Amarok' was to get away from the hi-tech instrumentation of his studio and return more to traditional forms of recording.
Making Amarok has allowed Oldfield to use most of his large collection of traditional instruments, although it's sometimes hard to tell from the listing on the album sleeves which are real instruments and which are injokes.
Some of the big guitar sounds on the album are three twelve-strings recorded together, and I've also got a very old Telecaster which used to belong to Marc Bolan and was the main guitar on 'Ommadawn'.

 AmaroK - LQWiki
Mark Kretschmann, the founder of amaroK, was frustrated by the missing 1x1 pixel target in popular mediaplayer XMMS and decided to create amaroK (This was because, he was hitting the stop button instead of the play button in XMMS).
amaroK is a part of kdeextragear, and hence has an independent release cycle to that of KDE, but however, it is expected to join kdemultimedia replacing Noatun.
The word amarok also means wolf in Inuktitut, a language spoken by the Inuit people, mostly in northern North America and northern Europe.

 Detailed Reviews [Amarok - 2004 - "Quentadharken"] - ProgressoR
The previous Amarok album, "Mujer Luna", is one of those astonishingly unique works that I can listen to at any time and always with pleasure.
The other entities of the album's predominant stylistics are the tracks forming a concept piece, which has given a title to the album: 7 to 11.
Although this update is very rich in positive reviews, Amarok's new album is definitely the best of the recordings I have reviewed for it and is another certain candidate to my Top-10 favorites of the year.

I must be one of the few people who loved this album on first listen, but I came to it with a looong MO listening history.
When the album is finished, you feel you've been on a journey and have just returned, and have some things to think about.
Amarok is a progression; different, great, but not necessarily better than Ommadawn.

Finally, amaroK is integrated with K3b, which makes it dead simple to burn any playlist to CD.
AmaroK is also the first player, on any platform, to include integrated support for Audioscrobbler.

This is one of those albums that has appeal to prog-metal fans without being prog-metal, and is recommended to those who like their symphonic rock melodic, energetic, and with a modern style.
Their albums have the refined and complex arrangements of the best 1970’s European progressive bands, and the level of musicianship is high.
Holocausto (1979) is the CD reissue of their 2nd album, which adds some fusion to the mix, due to a new keyboardist with a jazz-rock background.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock AM-AQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
There are twelve pieces on this album in all, and the most interesting tracks (from the standpoint of progressiveness) are from 2 to 5, though, on the whole, this album is full of exceptionally original melodies.
But there is a lot to like about this album, accessible and meditative though it is. This is true "world music", a fusion of western and "alternate" scales, middle eastern and polynesian-sounding percussion, odd acoustic instruments from around the world, and a generally uplifting feel to all the pieces.
While most tracks on their self-titled album are based on the combination of acoustic guitar, various flutes and vocals (in English), the arrangements tend to vary, thanks to the contribution of numerous guests on violins, oboe, clarinet, percussions, bass, choir, piano, etc. As a rule though, the sound remains light, natural and essentially acoustic.

 iPOD album covers under amarok 1.4.0 not working
amaroK is probably one of the best music players i've tried hands-down, and would be nice to get the album covers syncing correctly to my iPOD.
To be safe, upgrade your libgpod to current cvs and compile amarok from source.
In general, amaroK should just transfer the artwork that is displayed in the context browser for an album - so no need for adding the covers to id3 tags.

amaroK is an amazing app, my friend has a play list with at least 10,000 mp3s (he has a total of over 47,000, I know its disturbing) and there isn't any lag in the user interface.
amaroK has worked very well for me as it has progressed from the first version I used-1.0 (a touch buggy at times, liked to hate arts) to the very stable, usable, and thankfully ad-free player it is now.
I mean, group music by album, order albums by year, order music inside the album by number (for most bands I can just order by track number, then year, but I couldn't find out how to do it if you have more than one album in the same year.

I used a PRS guitar almost totally on Amarok, it's a really nice thing to play, but it would be hopeless for live work because if one string breaks the whole thing goes totally out of tune because of the tremolo system.
Amarok was originally going to be Omrnadawn II, but it went off a little in its own direction.
Oldfield himself rarely buys albums these days, and although not a jazz fan has been spared constant and unsatisfactory flipping back and forth bet ween Radio 1 and Capital while driving by the advent of Jazz FM.
