Winamp can play it, or you can get Foobar Lite, a lovely little program that plays .mp3, .ogg and .wav. No skins or anything, just plain funcionality. I believe the .ogg-format really is superior to .mp3 and .wma. -------------- Byrði betri berrat maðr brautu at en sé mannvit mikit Back to top

torbenyj Group: Members Posts: 377 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Sep. 10 2003, 08:59 very good. very incantations and amarok like. You have thought a lot of this piece of music.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Sep. 10 2003, 15:03 Excellent. Oldfieldish, Tubularish, Amarokish and even a bit Ommadawnish (I love your rework of the Majestic Theme), but also very very very original. A very fitting follow-up to 'Autumn'. Congrats. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Sep. 10 2003, 21:54 Glad to see another new convert of the OGG format .' Very nice piece! Did more Oldfield-ish drumish sounds, I see. Nice work! Sounds very good. The themes also are very good. I especially like the theme that plays at 2:52. Good variety here. Very nice job! Moves from one theme to the next very smoothly and almost unnoticably. And very fluid guitar playing! Once again you amaze me. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things. If all the world was blue there would be no colour blue." Back to top

oblique Group: Members Posts: 411 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Sep. 14 2003, 17:59 I already liked 'Autumn' very much and this one is a worthy successor. You clearly like the early works, so do I. Please go on..... -------------- "While we are alive we should sit among colored lights and taste good wines, and discuss our adventures in far places; when we are dead, the opportunity is past." - Jack Vance Back to top

maria Group: Members Posts: 928 Joined: July 2002 Posted: Sep. 14 2003, 18:54 nice one! clean sound and rich background all along the nightfall. i like very much the breathtaking change at the fifth minute after the crying guitar, very amarokian. i think u've gathered with good sense remarkable elements in mike's music. good tribute and played with a lot of care. -------------- ...morning and evening i'm flying, i'm dreaming...

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: Sep. 15 2003, 10:10 Wow! What a refreshing and well made piece of Amorokian music!!! I must agree with the ogg format sounding better than MP3.   Look forward to hearing more from you...keep it up (the good music that is :-)) -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things.

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Sep. 16 2003, 20:41 the .ogg definitly has potential, clearer crisper. this is the first of your tracks i've got, excellent playing, enjoyed it very much. well done. but..maybe a bit too much influnce from our mike. too many references and not enough growth. Mike is struggling to find new ground. We look to others to move forward. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Satyagraha Group: Musicians Posts: 103 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Sep. 17 2003, 05:24 Thank you all for your saying such nice things about Nightfall. -------------- Byrði betri berrat maðr brautu at en sé mannvit mikit Back to top

Satyagraha Group: Musicians Posts: 103 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Sep. 17 2003, 09:30 And by the way, Nightfall is actually triggered not by Amarok, but by a fiction by the great Jorge Luis Borges, titled Ragnarok. But the result of course turned out rather Amarokian. If one tries to emulate Oldfield, it's always going to wind up Amarokian, because I believe that work is his zenith and culmination point, with references to almost everything he did before, as well as its own unique ambience. I actually put a two second sample from Amarok in Nightfall, as some kind of combined self-mockery and Oldfield-tribute. It's loud and clear, though short. -------------- Byrði betri berrat maðr brautu at en sé mannvit mikit Back to top

Music, the ancient language... Group: Musicians Posts: 407 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Sep. 30 2003, 13:26 An overall good pieces with some great moments. I'm fascinated by the last minutes of the piece. Those glocky things work excellent! -------------- Read everything I write at own risk.

Satyagraha Group: Musicians Posts: 103 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Oct. 07 2003, 09:55 Thank you, Ancient. I'm very happy that someone likes that part, as it is my own favourite – and the one not Oldfield-derivated in any way, though it contains most of the themes of the other parts, more or less altered. -------------- Byrði betri berrat maðr brautu at en sé mannvit mikit Back to top
