I first heard Ms. McKennitt on the Hearts of Space program several months
ago - luckily I had taped the program, and within days had ordered the 
remaining cd's from Sylvia Wood Harp Center. 

Wonderful stuff. 

I find myself liking the "Parallel Dreams" album almost as much as "The Visit",
but am enjoying "To Drive the Cold Winter Away" and her first..

Like Tom, I'm very happy I did.

After enjoying the director's cut of "Blade Runner", I began to remember
someone mentioning that one of the pieces near the beginning of the film
not composed by Vangelis, but from another group.  Could anyone please
confirm or disprove this piece of hearsay?  Thank you!

You don't have the Heaven's Open? It falls to the same cathegory with Earth
Moving and Islands - the great disappointments by Mike Oldfield - and is

more info about them:

One very interesting feature that is coming in Febrary, is their ROEG User
system.  It is an on-line ordering system.  You need their software that
you can copy from someone else, or have it sent from the company ($9.95).
There is a registration fee of $4.95, and you can look through the catalog
that comes on disks, and compile your order, then submit it on-line.  If you
have an older version of the software, it will update it for you, when you
order.  Pretty cool.

I heard an artist on Echoes, a harpist by the name of Stephanie Bennett
who is classically trained and creates unique music based on Renaissance
music. I've been trying to find the CD for quite some time, now, but
haven't been able to locate it. (I called up Echoes and asked for their
playlist and catalog, but they never responded.) The CD is entitled
"Stories Seldom Told," and, again, has a distinctive Renaissance flair,
though it is not Early music per se. She follows a lot of the old
Dorian etc. modes in creating her music.

Dimeolo's more fusion oriented material came during and just after his
stint with Chick Corea and Return to Forever.  "Land of the Midnight Sun",
"Elegant Gypsy", and "Casino" are strong jazz-fusion albums.  Elegant
Gypsy also provided the first collabaration with Paco de Lucia on 
"Mediteranean Sundance", one of the early examples of flamenco influenced
jazz.  This was long before Gipsy Kings.  "Splendido Hotel" also had quite
a bit of good fusion.

Dimeola's "Cielo e Terra" and "Soaring Through a Dream" are a couple of
his better newage sounding recordings.

I found the correct name for the artist I was talking about..

Therese Schroeder-Sheker

She also has an album called Rosa Mystica

BTW I may add a little note to the thread on mail ordering music.
Ladyslipper Catalog specializes on Recordings by Women..They have
an interesting catalog that span a very wide range of music..including
"newage", spirituality, healing stuff, acoustic, electronic, world,
jazz, etc.. etc..The copy I have had for a while is about 87 pages
thick. You may get in touch with them at 800-634-6044

d.

ps: of course for REAL middle ages music you can always go for
classical albums..

       Yes it can be confirmed.  Watch the credits at the end.  The title
of the album that the other music was taken from is HARPS OF ANCIENT
TEMPLES by Gail Laughton (I think I have the name correct).  It was
originally released on Continium Montage records, and these days it is
supposedly available on CD on the Laurel label.  However, so far I have
been unable to get it special ordered from anybody.  (Got a source for it
anybody?)  It was the source for the weird vocals that you heard in the
city throughout the movie (I think).  OOO-EEE-YA-TAHAMMMMMM  (You heard it
when the commercial ships were shown flying by.)

attach musical pieces as emotional tags to friends and places..
and of course that has its consequences....sometimes it is very

This is wrong, the movie did include some music not by Vangelis.
I'm not sure, but I think it was some choral music from the middle ages.
It is listed in the titles at the end of the movie, though, so if you 
can get the movie you'll find what it was.

For Middle Ages style music, you've simply got to go for Steeleye
Span.  They were around in the seventies and seem to have specialised
in taking old folk songs and adding little bits of rock guitar to
them.  All in all, very good.  I only discovered them the other day on
a "Best Of" collection, and already I'm hooked ...
