Salamanda Group: Members Posts: 8 Joined: Oct. 2005 Posted: Nov. 01 2005, 07:05 I must say that L+S is a truly great work from Mike - I love it !!  (despite my initial reservations) I have voted for Angelique because I actually think that it is one of the best short songs Mike has ever written.  When the guitar break kicks in it really flies.  I love that guitar lead so much that I've been playing it myself on my guitar non-stop for the last two weeks !! When I get my home studio up and running I can't wait to record my own version of Angelique :o) Back to top

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: Nov. 08 2005, 20:18 Light is by far more appealing to me.  The Gate is by far my favorite.  I also like Rocky very much.  But I still have not really heard the whole album. -------------- Speak friend and enter. Back to top

Son of Distant Earth Group: Members Posts: 27 Joined: Sep. 2002 Posted: Nov. 10 2005, 20:40 I love "Blackbird." Dunno why, but after listening to the first CD, that's the track that stuck in my head, and it's quite a beautiful song, IMHO. On another note, "The Gate" reminds me of an old MO song that I think was done with Kevin Ayers. Can't think of the name though. LOL Back to top

It's a beautiful song and gives a superb ending to the album. -------------- "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate.

mad_byte Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: Dec. 2005 Posted: Dec. 07 2005, 07:18 Blackbird is the best piece of L+S, followed by Resolution as second. I think Blackbird is one of the best pieces Mike ever made! That pure sound of piano is absolutely fascinating. Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Dec. 07 2005, 17:05 I'm interested by the liking of blackbird. Much as I like lots of the "Light" CD I find Blackbird a bit too much like a "you can play like Richard Clayderman in 6 easy lessons" sound. Maybe its just me.... Still utterly adore Sunset however. -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Delfín Group: Members Posts: 667 Joined: Nov. 2000 Posted: Dec. 11 2005, 16:05 'First Steps' is amazing. Not only the best track in the album. It's a proof of Mike's ability to take a past melody and lift it up to heaven... incredible song. -------------- The most precious thing I possess, is knowing the answer's yes Back to top

SoimSandheaver Group: Members Posts: 325 Joined: May 2006 Posted: Sep. 24 2006, 16:33 I loved Blackbird and Rocky. It seems to me that the simplicity of his pure, unadulterated piano tunes are the best. Sunset is also a nice, soothing one to finish on. First Steps is another little lovely one, and it reminds me of the Taurus series for some reason. I can't think why. -------------- "Three blokes go into a pub, one of them's a little bit stupid, then the whole scene unfolds, with a tedious inevitability." Back to top

ImAFoolAndImLaughing Group: Members Posts: 536 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: Sep. 24 2006, 18:23 I love Blackbird - in my opinion one of the most beautiful and intense pieces of Mike's for a long time. -------------- "I was in this prematurely air conditioned supermarket and there were these bathing caps you could buy that had these kind of Fourth of July plumes on them that were red and yellow and blue and I wasn't tempted to buy one but I was reminded of the fact that I had been avoiding the beach."

mink stoles Group: Members Posts: 88 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Oct. 03 2006, 13:02 first steps is my favourite, especially section near the end when it does that climax with the timpani drums or whatever and then mike's lead guitar comes in - perfect! -------------- So if you you feel a little glum, To Hergest Ridge you should come.
