LOL! That's a very funny story! Thanks for the very interesting discussion about the piece. I guess our impressions of it today are created by memories of T&D and the film 10!
Though T&D first used it as background music to warm up to at the beginning of their practice sessions, so that would tie in with the repetitive [some say monotonous] theme. Amazing how they created such a romantic story to a previously *industrial* piece. Though these days that layer upon layer style of instrumentation is quite the vogue for composers like Micheal Nyman or Philip Glass. I love Skating, for the fact we can have these discussions about the music aswell as the technical aspects of the sport!
