For me there wasn't (*)great emotion in the melody line, but it was pleasant however. (*)It's difficult pleasing an Oldfield fan -------------- --- Markus K. Back to top

I'm not really a musician, and I'm certainly not a trained pianist, so melodies don't come easily! It was improvised, then tidied up. Actually I did some more work on it recently, improving the timing and sound of the notes etc. My new album is coming together rather well now   -------------- http://www.thelightdream.net http://thelightdreams.bandcamp.com/ Back to top

That's already quite a lot achieved and the basis for this kind of music. (Ambient or ambientish...) So with a killer melody you would have the next "Let there be light". ;-) Then again...not all tracks on TSODE/Tres Lunas/L+S are that full of emotion (or very good) either. Or all Enigma/JMJ tracks, whom I have also listened to. Vangelis I have found quite boring. (Haven't listened that much.) Tangerine Dream could be interesting, but I haven't listened to them yet. So I'm comparing to some major league players. ;-) -------------- --- Markus K. Back to top

Coincidentaly, the album I'm working on will be called "Into the Light"... -------------- http://www.thelightdream.net http://thelightdreams.bandcamp.com/ Back to top
