I've listened to the short excerpt from TMB in www.wea.de and I'm hoping the whole thing no to be that way. I don't like the title either. I like 'The Millennium Falcon' rather than 'The Millennium Bell' ;-)) Back to top

I've listended it the last 2 days, and it's great! About the millenium bell, I hope the whole album is not that dance music, because that would be terrible! I've heard it would feature a lot of orchestra. I also read about a rapper. But rap is terrible too! -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

The rapper seems to have vanished (unless you count M.C Nelson Mandela as a rapper), and the only dance flavoured track is the track The Millenium Bell itself (this is based on what others have said - I haven't actually heard it, but I trust these people). I have to say that I thought FATC was a great climax of TB3, and it was 'dancey' - but I'm not sure about the close repetition of instruments between Secrets and Source of the Secrets. Still looking forward to TMB (11 days to go at the time of writing) Back to top
