Today, I go there and see something very new. That's a nice studio pic! The link to the unviewable external web site is gone, which is an improvement as well. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

One of the very best I've ever heard from anyone: better, even, than many Oldfield albums. http://www.amazon.com/exec....=507846 Looks like it is back in print finally! You can check out this video clip too. It had a minute of the music, and a version of the cover art: http://rebeccaallen.com/v1/work/work.php?wNR=31&wLimit=19 If you like the wintery mood of the beginning section of "Incantations" Side 4, you should like this. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Quite a chuckle with all that make-up! -------------- Tell me how does it feel......when your heart grows cold. Back to top

You can discuss Eddie Jobson and also the group UK there. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top
