Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: May 20 2002, 12:17 Have you guys noticed that number 3 is someting quite present in Mike´s music,he wrote 3 songs called Taurus(I,II and III),now the new album(Tr3s Lunas)...just a silly guess. Remember that the fact he wrote some songs reagarding serpents(Serpent Dream and new Viper) has something related to his sign in the chinese horoscope.

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: May 20 2002, 17:43 The Ramans do everything in threes... There's also the recurring theme of the moon. First with Incantations, then with Crises (there we have the moon on the cover, Moonlight Shadow and the title, which could be taken as a slightly indirect reference to the moon's sea of crises...) and now with Tres Lunas. There are a few songs with passing references to the moon in them as well. Mystic Mike... Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: May 21 2002, 23:21 The holy trinity...there's one of the religious threes...threes appear in hinduism as well... There are also interesting threes relating to art, involving triangles and thirds... Mike might have come across some of these threes, particularly those in religion and folklore. Whether he ever thought about them is a different matter, though it may be a number that seems 'right' to him. Back to top
