It's very Wizard of Oz-ish, the way it transitions to the Tr3s Lunas world at just the right moment. I like the unfamiliar scenes of the TL world, with the game that's played on the lunar landscape appearing in a completely different setting. Admittedly the song's lyrics are weak, but surprisingly I didn't really notice this when watching the video. I'm surprised the song wasn't a hit. Back to top

I may be wrong here, as it's been quite a long time since I last played the game, but I've played it long enough to tell you that none of the TL scenes featured in this video appear in the game in exactly the same form as they appear in the video. Rather, each of the TL scenes in the video looks to me like it's a combination of elements taken from various sections of the game and combined into a single scene. Maybe the video is intended as a showcase of the TL world to people who are completely unfamiliar with it. If it's actually made with that purpose in mind, I must admit they did quite a good job. By the way, the song's lyrics aren't really weak IMHO. It's the song as a whole that's weak. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

I may alienate some freinds but MO to me is not about that. Sorry. I have my head in the past. I suppose he had to adapt. So be it. Money talks. Enjoy while I ignore. While MO is precious to me musically, most video is silly, at best. I mean the commercial crap to sell. I'll just stick to the music. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Whoever wrote it likes mixed metaphors: stages don't have bars, gilded or otherwise! Back to top
