It's all a matter of taste. Mike's recent years have given me some of my very favourite guitar pieces: Ambient Guitars, No Mans Land reprise, Art in Heaven, Far Above the Clouds etc. As for whether the new album will have soul, again I have to say that I'll wait until I hear it. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all.

Even with every low-key album there's a gem in there somewhere and I believe it'll be the same with Quicksilver. With every Tr3s Lunas there was a Return to the Origin and the Snow Owl theme, and with every Guitars there was a Cochise and Summit Day. I'm sure I'll find something I like even if most of the album as a whole isn't very good. I think it's impossible for Mike to make something that completely sucks. There's gotta be some sub-conscious message in his brain that secretly puts awesome things through without him noticing! -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

I know I am taking a big risk here not even knowing if you are male or female, but I love the moniker and you are a fan of Marvin the Paranoid Android, this is the same depressed Marvin from Hicthikers Guide, played by our friend Alan Rickman? You are cool, I love you! -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

Ahh, but Stephen Moore in the original radio series was so much better. I always thought Marvin should have done a track on TSODE... "Crystal Clear, yes but I've this pain in all the diodes on my left side, and me with a brain the size of a planet". Maybe Marvin could be the Shade in "Light and Shade", current best bet for new album title?? light & shade 26.9.05 Alex on the irc channell pointed me at this -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question?
