Are you putting together a new album any time soon? Cheers, Terry. -------------- http://purplerhapsody.co.uk - no words, just emotions Back to top

Yeah ! your music is really nice ! Bravo ! ...ohh ! as we , here in France , are not British (   ) i put a link to explain what is the R101 you talked about ! R101 ... one day  i've seen an airship in the French sky near Paris , i was in my truck and seeing this " baloon " flying through the air was so magical ! In France we are talking about to built agian this type of airship with solar energy... Back to top

Interesting combination of effects with the heavily fuzzed guitar work producing a feeling of vastness, while the repetitive higher tune feels light and airy - just like an airship in fact.

I am so glad to be able to share my music here with like minded folk  ;-) The R101 sadly crashed in Beauvaris, France in 1930. Ian , i guess you meant Beauvais and not Beauvaris ! Beauvais is located between Paris and Amiens ( Famous town of the WW1 and gloriously defended by British and Australians soldiers , Commonwealth forces ) . Beauvais has an airport with the Ryan airlines . The right place of the crash is located in Allone near Beauvais ...a really weird and freaky name for a crash : Allone ( alone ; all one ) .. Since the day of the tragedy the place of the crash is a part of UK with a commemorative grave/stele . You can visit a museum about this crash in the city ! I know this is a part of France very visited by British tourists ! Really bizarre because this the kind of histories and things i like to know and i'd never heard about this one . This crash was more important than the Hindenburg crash ! Geo parameters of the crash . Back to top

But this one adds an extra element, as I pass those big hangers quite regularly. If the euromillion Lottery ever came my way it would be so coolto see these gigantic flying machines live again. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Philippe Tavares Group: Members Posts: 1613 Joined: Feb. 2005 Posted: Jan. 31 2010, 05:19 In Ecausseville , France ( Normandy ) there's a big hangar built in 1917 , it's now an " historical monument " in France . They search money to restore it ! A French has tried to cross the channel from Dover to France with an airship with a pedalo propulsion but i think he didn't succeed . Recently in France i've heard about an airship with solar propulsion but i don't know if it's already done . Back to top

ian Group: Members Posts: 473 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Feb. 07 2010, 14:36 Terry: thanks for your constructive comments on the track. Do you know, you are right about the quiet bit not having long enough to breathe so I have extended it. I was in two minds but you confirmed it for me so thanks for that As for another album, I would like to sell my first one more before I push another out. I don't know where I am going wrong but despite plugging it on Last FM and the like and getting very good responce, making countless imixes on iTunes and it getting 5 star ratings and nice reviews it hardly sells :-( Back to top
