MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: May 12 2005, 23:43 Hey, all! I come now to surprise you with me latest cover. Yes it's been a long time coming. It just hit me the other night after not listening to Hergest Ridge in forever and a day that Hergest Ridge would sound good in this style. It's currently a work in progress, so that means it's not finished and any tips/advice/opinions/comments/constructive criticism can still be freely contributed. I plan on adding another theme or two from HR to it. Hopefully I'll do that before the week is out. Enjoy. http://smc.sq7.org/miscfile/brandon/hergest_ridge_part1.mp3 http://smc.sq7.org/miscfile/brandon/hergest_ridge_part1.ogg -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

I'm not sure if ourmedia.org is as good as it appears to be. It does look to be good, however. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Baggiesfaninessex Group: Members Posts: 682 Joined: Mar. 2002 Posted: May 13 2005, 15:27 I was fortunate enough to download this before it died. It is fantastic - for a work in progress. I was walking back to the car from the Rayleigh Rail Station yesterday evening, listening to Hergest Ridge Part 1 and thought how wonderful it would be to hear it played live. And this is how I could imagine it sounding live - heavier guitars and drums, more pace and brought up to date. Thanks for sharing this with us. More please!   -------------- “A dog is not intelligent. Never trust an animal that's surprised by its own farts.” - Frank Skinner Back to top

I'm uploading as I type so if you click on the link and the file is incomplete that could be why. Just try again later.

Are there plans to do the ENTIRE album? -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: May 13 2005, 17:13 No, not the entire album, just a couple of the themes.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 15 2005, 19:09 P.S.: I don't think it needs any additions, but if you really want to add something, add the theme that's sung in Part II, whose words sound a litle bit like Gorlan, Di-ena, Labarto, Oncorta etc. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: May 16 2005, 02:06 Thanks! I hadn't planned on doing that theme, but I did have some nice power chord chugging renditions of the part 1 version of the 80-stormy-guitars theme and also that one other theme that plays at the beginning of part 2. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.
