SHINE Group: Members Posts: 138 Joined: April 2003 Posted: May 11 2003, 06:34 As I said in another forum, I would like that music on the game and on the music CD would'nt be different.    Or I would akk for the game's music to be included on a music CD one could buy separately.    When MO published TR3S LUNAS, I hadn't my PC. So I wasn't able to play the game. But the worst thing was that I (and many other people that don't have a PC) couldn't listen to it's music!    That's very disgusting when you have bought all the albums.     And just think about people who loves his music but doesn't like PC Games.     I belonged to this kind of people before trying MVR.     So that's why I would ask MO to include the game's music in a music CD you can buy separately. ps.: BTW, this make me think about asking for a VHS version for the video included in theTB 2003's DVD, but I know that it would be very difficult...

I really like Tres Lunas II (and the other fan mixes) far more than the official release. a) Because they contain the music from the game that is missing from TL. b) More importantly they sound like they have had more care and emotion invested in producing them. Probably because as a fan you care about the music much more than a technician in a studio who just gets paid to produce album after album. -------------- Yet Another Mike Oldfield Web Site - http://www.dbennett.karoo.net Back to top

I would guess it must be in the hundreds if not thousands. -------------- Yet Another Mike Oldfield Web Site - http://www.dbennett.karoo.net Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: May 17 2003, 22:44 I expect it's gone pretty far. The guy who was selling it on ebay said he bought it from another dude in Spain I believe he said and he assumed that he had put it together. Ugo found them up for download on a newsgroup. It's definitely gone around. -------------- 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

SHINE Group: Members Posts: 138 Joined: April 2003 Posted: May 24 2003, 19:21 I'd ask that the game continue in the same line as MVR goes.                 I mean a game who let us fly where we want,feeling free,going from a discovery to another, with great emotional explosions full of music and colors when you find a new place in the world.                 A game that  is a 3 D confirmation of the images my mind creates while listening to Mike Oldfield music.                 A game that make me feel as well as I feel when I'm flying like a seagull to an island and when I'm a dolphin playing in the sea hour by hour.                 A world that give me the same feeling that I get everytime I go to Tai Chi Island.                                 A wonderfull game as MVR is...
