And Fernando, you've got a helluva taste, huh? :-) Perhaps you should check out Egberto's "Feixe de Luz", if you can find it (I'm trying, and I can't).

Message-ID: <000901bf4075$d3819760$message_id_removed> Well, since no one has yet to let me know where to find Pink Floyd's When the Tigers Broke Free on the net, I took it upon myself to rip the audio track off of the DVD and make it myself, combining the two sections from the movie into one song... Worked rather well, too. If anyone cares you can download it at http://www.safelink.net/washburn/pink_floyd-when_the_tigers_broke_free.mp3 Enjoy! :) To me, this song is equivalent to DT's To Live Forever.

Very cha- >otic love indeed if you see how DT depicts it. Yeah, the dance of eternity is love alright, but love in the album's storyline also includes a guy killing the girl he loves and his own brother! So that IS kind of chaotic! By the way, WAY too many people get killed in concept albums I noticed. Sure it works our cool for the listener but not for those in the story! Wouldn't it suck to only exist in a concept album? Cause chances are, you're gonna be toast within 77 minutes or so!

I come from a background of Kiss and Alice Cooper where it was like a carnival. For me to go out on tour is to have fun, meeting the fans, going fucking crazy and having a blast out there. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Dec 1999 19:24:15 +0100 From: mams.gajic@t-online.de (Alex Gajic) To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: The Silmarillion Message-ID: Jammers - you're looking for a Tolkienphile, you got him here...: afaik Tolkien first published the 'Hobbit' in 1935, then he started writing the Silmarillion, because he wanted to start with Middle-Earth's History right from the beginning. However, it became his secondary project, when he started writing The Lord of the Rings, his greatest work, which was published in 1955. He never fully completed the Silmarillion but his son Christopher Tolkien edited and assembled his notes and published it in 1977. Since then a few other middle-earth books with assembled notes have been published and they're hard to read when you're no die-hard Tolkien-Fan.
