bugular tell Group: Members Posts: 482 Joined: Mar. 2003 Posted: April 22 2005, 17:15 A good album, but not his best by a long shot, i like a lot of the music, but there are far better MO tracks out there, depends on the mood you are in a supose, i'd class this as a great easy listening album, but if i was in that mood i'd choose TSODE any day, my fave MO album ever, and the ambience is just, well, perfect IMO, i think that tres lunas is very good at what it was designed for, and thats to go with the game, as a stand alone album i feel that some of the best tracks were omitted and left for the game, but thanks to Brandon we got to hear them anyway!   -------------- Light travels faster than sound, thats why some people appear bright until you hear them speak Back to top

Guess thats the full download.   Yes that's the whole lot. (I must say that after a few listenings I edited my version by fading it out before the scratched record starts. Nice joke initially, but wears thin quickly! ) Back to top

lordlucan Group: Members Posts: 20 Joined: Dec. 2002 Posted: May 04 2005, 14:50 Nice album, but ruined by that appalling "To Be Free" garbage.  I bought the album, but I only listen to my burned copy which doesn't have that song on it. Back to top

(sideline: If you can quote the source I got that from, I will shake your hand! Each to their own basically - I've said it afore. I also know that I'd much rather hear almost anything Mike's done over almost anything considered 'good music' these days. All this and I'm only 20.

I really couldn't get Ommadawn at first, and my head screamed WHAT??? every time I heard it, (I was on my 11th or 12th attempt by this time) but now I recognise it for the wonderful composition that I believe it to be. For me it was 3 listens for Ommadawn, 2 for Amarok and 4 for Hergest Ridge. Tubular bells, well I had been listening to that for years as an infant but never appreciated it at that age, so that was in fact the album that I found hardest to 'get in to' if I'm being literal about it.   -------------- When the night's on fi-ya, do you need love's arms to hold yew? :D Back to top

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Nov. 07 2005, 15:01 As time goes by, I find myself loving it more, not less. Looking at the current state of the poll ... 110 say no; 7 say yes. We only need another 104 'yes' votes and we're home and dry. One last push? Back to top
