But I have no idea about where we can get it, except of the official release, of course The only way to know that is to ask OMA. So if he read this post, I hope he'll bring us some truth about why did he deleted TOAA from his page. I also hope he have HQ version of mp3. The most strange thing is that there's no any MOAA tracks in eDonkey or eMule networks. There're a lot of other leaked tracks but TOAA isn't. So, I think that we are very lucky having that track even in poor quality -------------- We all live our Tubular Life... And we don't know another way to live... Back to top

It really does represent PROPER old school MO. However good the best bits of TSODE were they weren't over flowing with emotional power like this. That coupled with an amazing original construction, a little nod to Five Miles out (the song) there, and very well thought out sounds and instrumentation. This is what proper MO is all about for me. And lastly the vocal parts are amazingly beautiful, I couldn't give a toss whether they're computer generated or not, they could be sung by Bill Gates for all I care, they sound gorgeous. Can't wait to hear the CD version let alone the whole album. Back to top

The song is amazingly complex and the guitars full of energy. The vocaloid "vocals" works well for me -especially the choir later on in the song. The baroque-ish start and lone guitar sets up the song nicely, with the heavier piece after that absolutely stunning. Mike must have really enjoyed making this piece! Fred Back to top

I never doubted that Mike could still let it rip with a huge guitar solo. It's something I'll never get tired of. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

Harmono Group: Members Posts: 759 Joined: May 2005 Posted: Sep. 06 2005, 21:10 Im not waiting for a concert. My listening experienses are very very personal. I think that live perfomances are not as good as the ones that have been made with more thought on the perfection. as much as I love jazz and other improvisational stuff, I must say that the greatest thing is..(I cant say that  in English).

I don't know how they all got this track but if I bring your request back to the front, someone might be able to help you, Cheers, Tracy. -------------- I hate getting up early.

I'm afraid I may have ruined it for myself now that I've heard the low qual version lol. Not that I won't enjoy it, but it'll be much more amazing for you if you wait for the album. Or at least a higher quality MP3!! Amazing. Reminds me of a solo from Heaven's Open or something. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Solus Group: Members Posts: 13 Joined: June 2005 Posted: Sep. 07 2005, 04:56 I wanted to wait until the album, seeing how it's only a couple of weeks, but when I've heard all those praises, I just couldn't resist. I've finally heard the song, and I'm glad I did. Now I'm pretty sure this will be a good album, one which I'll definitely buy. Thanks all. -------------- I reject your reality, and substitute my own.
