Does anyone know where I could get a tape of Clannad's music of Robin Hood.
 Robin Hood as in the UK series with Michael Praed, not Kevin Costner!

Hi, fellow newage fans,

music :

Enya,	S. Ciani,	J. Michel-Jarre
P. O'hearn,	R. Lynch,	Kitaro
Yanni

 . . . among others that you may remember better than i do.
Can anyone help me out here by suggesting articles, books,

Only the Visit is being distributed stateside for now, but I would expect
to see Warner distributing the other soon.

I was lucky to see her in concert in Boulder, CO, and bought the other
3 there ($15/each).

I passed on a boxed set which included The Visit and then a CD with
mostly interview and some songs.  I already had the Visit, but I kind of
wished I had that interview CD.  LM is perhaps my favorite artist right now.
Totally awesome in concert.

Parallel Dreams is my absolute favorite!  Rivals anything by Enya IMHO.
The Visit is my next.
Then comes Elemental, is her first album ... a little less instrumentation, 
but wonderful.  There's this cool song with begins and ends with a
barking dog pack ... spine chilling.
To Drive the Cold Winter Away is perhaps my least favorite, but I love 
everything she has done.  It contains obscure celtic Christmas tunes and such 
performed in ancient castles and churches.

I have a wonderful tape by her called "To Drive the Cold Winter Away,"

I've never heard of "Skyline Firedance", and I haven't heard much of
Lanz's other work, but "Return to the Heart" is one of my favorite
tapes.  There's some very classy piano work on there, and if you
listen to it over stereo headphones it sounds very good -- there are
even birds very, very faintly in the background on the last song.
It's just really beautiful.

Never heard the others, but I have "Spirit of Olympia" and "Childhood
Remembered".  I'm not that crazy about either.  If you want good
Narada Equinox stuff, try David Lanz/Paul Speer's "Natural States" or
"Desert Vision", Brian Mann's "Cafe du Soleil", or Spencer Brewer's
"Dorian's Legacy" or his other that I can't remember the name of (the
tape case has a gray label in it).

Hi net-ppl,


	on January 16th I am leaving for a 10 day trip to the U.S.A.
The places I'll be are Boston, New Orleans (perhaps Baton Rouge too)
and (for the fun) Disney/Universal Studios/Cape Canaveral in Florida.
From what I learnt from this newsgroup, New Age CDs are a lot cheaper
in the USA. Almost without any exception, all New Age CDs here cost
800 BF, which is $24. The more popular artists (like Vangelis, Jarre,
Kitaro...) are less expensive, but still over $20.
	Therefore, I would very much appreciate anyone's advice for
buying new CDs while I am there. Which stores should I go to ? What
are excellent low-priced New Age CDs that I should look for (and what
did you pay for them) ? etc...
	Also, as sort of reference for comparison, how much do the
following CDs cost at the places you buy your music :
	- 1492 (Vangelis)
	- China (Vangelis)
	- Tubular Bells II (Mike Oldfield)
	- Quiet Music (Steve Roach)


	I am very much looking forward to your replies !! Anything
can help, so please don't hesitate mailing me. Thanks a whole bunch
in advance !

Musical Regards,

OK, now that we have THAT out of the way...  What kind of music do you
actually play?  Instrumental acoustic guitar?  Vocals?  Primarily flute
solos?  Celtic modern folk?  Instrumental Electronic music a.k.a.
classic-era Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Schulze, etc?

If that last one is what you play, that's "E-music".  If THAT'S what you
do, than the place to go is Electronic Dreams.  We are a supportive action
organization for listeners and composers of E-music, and we focus our efforts
on helping smaller artists the best we can.  We publish an international
newsletter called DREAMS WORD.  At last count, DW goes to member/subscribers
in 31 states in the USA and 16 countries.  We are in touch with quite a 
few radio stations that play E-music, and not just in the United States.
Want to have your music broadcast in Russia?  ;-)  It can happen.

If your music is TRULY "new age" (i.e. deals with spiritual healing,
crystal visionary stuff, etc. etc. etc.) talk to Heartsong Review.  They
have a list of radio stations accross the USA who would be willing to
play true new age.  

It all depends on what your music really is, and who your influences are.
Be specific, and the right people would be willing to help you from there.
Only if your music is "true new age" should you market it as new age.
Otherwise, start from the question of "what kind of music do you really
play?" and network your way to success from there.

Has anybody purchased Sound cards for the 01, either the prog/comb only
from Korg or third parties, or the double card set with new PCM samples available
from Korg only (as far as I know) ?
If so, which ones and how did you find the quality of them ?
Where were they purchased, they're just impossible to get in Ireland ?

I managed to get my hands on one stray card that came in from England
called Sound Alternatives by Andrew Schlesinger. It's a basic prog/comb
card with 100 of each. Most of them are completely useless and lack effort
and imagination. Some of them are so ridiculous that they seem generated
randomly by a computer.
There are about 10 nice ones in all which are of a high professional standard.
If the rest were near this standard, it would be one hell of a sound card, but
as it stands it's very bad value for money.
All this of course IMHO.

No no no...It's not another standard.  What it is is a card that connects
via 25 pin cable to another box with 16 MIDI DIN connectors.  Via the
software, you can read from or write to any of the ports.  Of course, per
the MIDI definition, each port has 16 channels.

The advantage of this is that you don't have to use the MIDI Thru port,
and thus are not subject to the timing delays, etc. that the latter suffers
from.

The lab in which they're testing this has all kinds of musical goodies in
it, which makes me jealous that *I'm* not working there (you reading this
DMJ???)

I hope someone can help me, I would be greatful!

I have a TB-303 and a TR-606, both units that use the SYNC interface.
I wish to be able to control/start and stop these beasts via MIDI.
I have put a deposit on a used Roland MSQ-700 sequencer which has MIDI
in, out, and thru, and also, SYNC in and out.
I was wondering if, because this sequencer has both SYNC and MIDI, if I 
could start and stop my TB-303 at certain points in a composition that was
using a MIDI keyboard connected to the MSQ-700.
In a nutshell, all I really want to do is to automatically start and stop
 my TB-303 using the MSQ-700. Will it allow me to do this?
Furthermore, does anyone know anything about the MSQ-700? I have no specs

   Eric is right about this.   One piece of advice that I can give is that
rather than use the piezo elements try using an acoustic guitar tuner.  This is
a little gadget that you stick on an acoustic guitar that allows you to tune it
with an electric guitar tuner.  It picks up vibrations and sends signals just
like a piezo, but it is premade and even comes with a little suction cup for
perfect mounting.  Piezos work alright, but they can break and miss\add
triggers.  I found the tuner rarely missed\added and has ALOT better chance of
surviving the beating a trigger is going to take.  Of course, it is 10 bucks
rather than $1.79 but I feel it is worth it.  Works for me, and is still cheaper
than the Roland ripoff.

Hi!

The Roland card sets (Voice card + PCM card) are nice; although the PCM cards
of the first 3 sets mostly contain drum samples; you have to check this out
for the string set, but I believe this one will really contain string samples.

I haven't seen any third-party PCM cards up to now. I have some of the
SoundSource voice cards (Progressive Artists, Stage&Studio, Hybrid something)
but am not shure what to think of them... some patches are very interesting
and nice done (like this Emerson B3 sound, where they get the distortion from
oversaturating the JD800's amplifier instead of using the rather bad
distortion effect), some other patches are just boring. I highly recommend
to check those cards out before buying, if you can (I couldn't, cause they
are plastic sealed and the guy at my local synth shop refused to tear them
open) :-(

Anyone heard 'bout a Valhala Gold Card for the JD800???

I disagree. When you play the bass it sounds like if you're playing it
one octave lower. Then it means notes played are being transposed DOWN
an octave. Another argument: when I played a file created for D20 on
another synth the bass sounded like it was up one octave. This also means
D5/10/20 synths transposes bass notes DOWN an octave during playback.

appreciate it, post the here or email me at noord@ucs.orst.edu.
