No (and yes): The New American Orchestra version is not the "Original 
Soundtrack", but an orchestrated, non-synth version.  Parts of the 
soundtrack were released on the "Themes" album.  The Original Soundtrack 
has been rumored to have been released prematurely and then withdrawn.  
There may exist at least a few cassette copies of this. Additional parts 
of the soundtrack may be copied off the video versions of the film - the 
Criterion Collection laser disc is supposed to have the best sounding source.

Heard of it, but have never seen it.  Sorry.

I have this.  Has a rather ugly-looking green dragon emerging from what
looks like an iceberg-laden sea.  Back cover has a b&w photograph of Vangelis
superimposed over the cover dragon.

I don't have or know of one, unless you are referring to the sketchy one
in the discography in the musical archives pub/music/discog/v/vangelis*.
It has a few notes about his life and whereabouts interspersed with release
notes.

The Orchestral Tubular Bells
Composed by Mike Oldfield
Arranged for Orchestra by David Bedford
Performed by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
with Mike Oldfield on guitar
Conducted by David Bedford

Just got this on CD.  I like it a great deal - better, perhaps, than the
original.  I guess it'd depend on what mood I'm in.  My music-review
vocabulary isn't all that good, so I'll put in a paragraph of inner-
jacket description, with which I heartily concur.

-------------

	Bedford's imaginative scoring and the exquisitve RPO's
performance highlighted all the intrinsic qualities which had made the
original recording great.  Such an unusual but visionary collaboration
could have been disastrous.  Instead, the work took on truly mega
proportions.  One minute we are treated to a huge crescendo, reminding
us of Ravel at his best; the next, the piece explodes into an almost
"Big Country" Western panorama with shades of "Gone With The Wind" and
"Tara's Themes".  Then, a Breughelian landscape opens up before us, with
medieval figures dancing around a roaring fire.  At no time can the
listener rest on his laurels.  Just as we are settling into a rhythm,
feeling content to let the current musical theme encompass our thoughts,
the piece crashes out of the speakers like a massive thunderstorm into
another movement, transporting us from the world of JR to that of JRR
Tolkein in one stupendous musical leap.

Howdy, I've got a question, but alas I'm not sure if this would even be  
the correct place to ask this question (This is about the closest I could  
think of/find).   I'm looking for music with the medieval sound.   
Something like the old bards played around King Arthur's Round-table, or  
would be heard around Renasance fairs...  I was wondering if anyone could  
perhaps recomend some good artists that play with this style.  If not,  
where would be a good place to ask.  Thanks a lot!

> I'm looking for music with the medieval sound.   

First, I second the Fresh Aire II by Mannheim Steamroller suggestion posted  
earlier by Eric Zanto.  Definitely worth checking out!

Second, you might want to try "A Passage in Time" by Dead Can Dance.  You  
might receive some objections as to whether or not this is medieval style  
music, but to me it contains medieval sounding instruments and has a strong  
mood to it that also contributes to a medieval sound.  Another good album!

One more: "Blue <something>" (sorry, forget the second word) by Leyra.  This  
is VERY medieval sounding, but didn't really strike a positive chord with me  
when I listened to it at my local CD store.  I later saw it in the $1.99  
(honest!) bin, so it may not be that great of an album, but it certainly  
would make good background music for role-playing game session!

As for sources of this kind of music, you might check some of the mail order  
places that have been mentioned in the current "Anyone have a good address  
for mail-order music (newage)?" thread.

You must mean Loreena McKennitt, yes? I wouldn't compare her to Clannad..
She's much better. There is a widely-available US album of hers, 'The Visit'
published by Time-Warner. Any music store probably has it. Her other albums
are only available from a Canadian outfit.

Hi everyone,
   It seems that my last posting to this section about the Avalon CD by Vantage
Records drew no reply, so I am re-sending this again.
   Does anybody knows whether Vantage Records still exists? I have this address
on this 1990 CD called "Avalon"; it is :

Vantage Records Inc.
8963 Burton Way
Los Angeles
CA90048, USA

Anybody who lives near there knows whether the company is still operating at 
this address or even better still, their fax number, please let me know by post
or via this newgroup. I am urgently looking for the Avalon CDs for new-age
enthusiasts this side of the world in Singapore. I think I bought the last 
surviving copy this side of the world 3 years ago. Its really good driving
music of audiophile quality standards, so those who read this should also try
sampling this piece. It should appeal to people who listens to Crystal Wind,
Bruce Beckvar, Wind Machine etc.

For all of you Patrick O'Hearn fans,

  The soundtrack to _White_Sands_ is out. Don't have the label info,
but I got it in the soundtrack section of Tower last Friday. Total
running time is right at 45 minutes, but with 10 of those minutes taken
up by a Dwight Yoakum and a Little Feat (1992 version) tunes. So we got
35 minutes of O'Hearn. There is a shortend version of Sacred Heart (from
_Indigo_) and the other tunes run the gamut from typical spacy O'Hearn
to a smokey niteclub jazz number. Guest artists include Terry Bozzio,
Warren Curcurrulo (sp), Alex Acuna, Peter Manau (the "Warm Sound On A
Grey Background" guy), Mark Isham (I think) and a couple of others.
Worth adding to the collection.

It's Klaus Schulze's Royal Festival Hall album (2 volumes), a life recording
of two of his performances in London in 1991, extended with some
studio recordings:

Klaus Schulze
Royal Festival Hall Volume 1
Virgin Records, CDVE916, 1992

Klaus Schulze
Royal Festival Hall Volume 2
Virgin Records, CDVE917, 1992

If you like this album you also will like the following one:

Klaus Schulze
Beyond Recall
Virgin Records, CDVE906, 1991


Where to buy them? I dunno how it is in the States, but over here in 
the Netherlands we buy at music stores ;-))

Good luck in finding the right stores, Albert

Both are in print and (at least around here) readily available in the US,
with 'Hergest Ridge' out on Virgin and 'Ommadawn' out on Caroline.  Be
warned, however, that Virgin didn't keep very good track of Oldfield's
master tapes, and the CD reissues are a scattershot blend of original album
mixes and subsequent remixes.  I have yet to find a copy of 'Hergest Ridge'
on CD that matches the LP I have.  (The LP has a bass guitar part that
enters at around 1:17 on side 1, the CD is a different mix entirely.)

*The Queen's Minstrel*, by Therese Schroeder-Sheker, on the Windham Hill label
(WD-1074).

It's very good, save for the two tracks for which Ms. Schroeder-Sheker writes
some at best lame and at times laughable lyrics (e.g. "Like a strip mine so
tragic and cold").  Actually, it's sort of hard to understand the lyrics as
she sings them, so they're readily ignorable.

I'm sure there are plenty of little bands out there that specialize in
this, but when I think of medieval music, one thing comes to mind:
Fresh Aire II, by Mannheim Steamroller.

"Memories of Green" is a favorite of mine.  I thought that electronic
background sounds in Vangelis' version (in his album _Themes_) were
nicely done, very appropriate.  Just the thing to listen to and wax
philosophical on the urban state. :)

Hi,
   One of earliest CDs I owned was Checkfield's "Water, Wind and Stone" CD
on American Gramaphone label. This distinct Checkfield disc (quite different
from their rest) had a very good medieval sounding music, which is not too
classical for my liking. Of course, if you are really looking for real and
true medieval sounds, nothing will beat original classical baroque music,
especially on the Harmonia Mundi label, which has a great range of this form
of music as well as the best audiophile recordings around. Other good baroque
labels are Dorian Recordings which has a few good medieval mandolins and 
renaissance music. These stuff are really authentic medieval music, as compared
to the neo-classical new-age instrumentals like Checkfield's. BTW, I prefer
the latter, as it's classical music of now whereas classical music is
contemporary music of old.

Happy listening
Fong
