Alpine Guitar sounds so evocative of early morning, and Landing sounds like the climax to a long journey IMO - wouldn't longer versions on the album just be fantastic? Post here if you agree!!! -------------- Hergest Ridge 165 - Ommadawn 038 - Incantations 243 Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: April 03 2002, 10:19 Yep! I agree MITR. I loved watching the video presentation of MVR - especially the music for the bird flying through the frosty tunnel in the snowy mountains. The general sound of the MVR experience (whcih should be that of Tres Lunas also) is very uplifting and restful to me and i'm looking forward to it very much. -------------- Expect Great Things.

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: April 03 2002, 15:30 Notice the similarity between part of the 'Landing' melody and "Let There be Light'. I think my favourite of all the bits released is actually 'Turtle Island'. I like the way that little melody hooks are shared between tracks/sections...shows how Mike does still know a thing or two about music, despite claims to the contrary... Back to top

It´s a pity since that Mike hasn´t released more sound "demos" of Music VR. Hopefully, the May 27 is coming so fast!!!

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: April 05 2002, 19:58 How come I can't find any music demos of MVR on the new MVR site? Are they only in the old one? -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: April 06 2002, 14:36 That's right - there are no music samples on the new site (apart from a little background music loop and some in the video presentation). I should imagine that a quick look around on the web should reveal a site that has kept copies. Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: April 08 2002, 12:45 Thanks Tubular Belle! If Turtle Island is a taste of things to come I'd say we're in for a wonderful musical baquet! -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: May 03 2002, 01:31 Does anyone know the name of the music on the new demo that plays when you are pushing the pointed spheres through the arch? If that's Alpine Guitar I'll by annoyed because the link dosen't work on the site. I'm interested in getting some track names for the music of the new demo. Can anybody help me? Any advice on how to play the audio with the demo (I can't play .snd files) would also be nice. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: May 13 2002, 06:43 Alpine Guitar is very nice. Landing rocks as well. There is some very nice music in Music VR, and I'm excited about the album! Hope it comes out pretty soon in Australia. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top
