It's sort of repetitive but it's still enjoyable to my ears. The melodies are very nice and remind me of Hergest Ridge to a degree, which is a welcome return to roots. The progressions are very interesting and some remind me of some of his 80s works with a little Voyager and Millennium Bell thrown in. Quite nice.

I'd just assumed that everyone here at Tubular.net already had a copy of MOTS. Were you in traction for three months, or observing Alaskan Grizzlies, perhaps? In any case, I'm glad to hear you've now got it, and are enjoying it, MusicallyInspired. Will you let us know what your favorite moments are? -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

But now I have. I enjoyed the whole piece. But some of my favourite tracks would probably be Shabda, The Tempest, Aurora, and Empyrean. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Oh, I know that dilemma. I plan to wait a bit before getting the new DVD/CD edition of the Art In Heaven concert. Sometimes the temptation to complete my MO collection overrides good sense, though. Like when I'm at the supermarket and think 'To heck with self-deprivation!' and go ahead and buy that coconut cream pie instead of laundry detergent. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Me too, it was following a laparoscopy investigation, as my tubes were causing me pain I finally got round to getting MOTS , as my Mum had given me £20 to treat myself I bought MOTS and The Rolling Stones' "Shine A Light DVD, that the thing being on a limited income sooo frustrating at times, I agree Sweet pea I agree with you about self deprivation.         . -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

I'm not sure what a "laparoscopy investigation" is, but it sounds painful. And if I ever have one, I'm sure MO-music would be exactly what I'd want afterwards! -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?
