And VERY often B minor, might I add to my own post...

And actually, it's not really two chords in most cases but rather one chord
[say, B minor... ;)] with "broderies"... er, how do you say that in
English...

(And just to be sure [you often have to be paranoiac to avoid
misunderstandings on the Internet, it seems], this is not at all a
denigration of Delay. I love his stuff.)
