    The Redemption of Althalus - David Edding

    Raven - Richard Kirk

    The winter of the world - Micheal Scott Rohan

    Shadowlegue - Maggie Furey

     

    and most of the other David Eddings wrote biggrin.gif

     

  2. Two new records here

    Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells drool1.gif

    from 1973, finaly make to get my own copy. Allways had burned one never make it to the original

     

    Paradise Lost - Paradise Lost new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

    Back to the Roots, this one sounds more like "Icon" and "Draconian Times".

    Looks like they leave the stuff like "One second" and "Host" behind.

  3. I just finished David Eddings "Book 2 of the dreamer - The treasured one"

    Right now I read Ghost Rider.

     

    The next ones to come:

    Lord of the rings (read it in German-now try in english)

    Grace under Presure

    Book 3 of the dreamers

  4. It was a Friday in early August back in 2000, when me and some friends went to the Wacken Open Air the first time.

     

    On Friday morning we started drinking and take it to a personal challange to be the last in line. So we drank the whole day and evening through.

    Defenatly more than 24 that day. Some were smaller ones - 0.3 litre, the bigger part were 0.5 glasses at the festival area.

     

    doh.gif Man what a horrible next morning. The only thing that helped that day was another beer. Took us the entire day to come through.

  5. Went to a friend at 3am this morning to watch the first race of the 2005 Formula 1 season.

    During the race we had the last glas of his Loch Dhu Whiskey.

    A sad day, it was his last bottle, and as far as I know, Loch Dhu run out of production some years ago. sad.gif

     

    To kill the bad mood we took some Glen Moray.

    Explanation: Would the Rosette Nebula by any other name look as sweet? The bland New General Catalog designation of NGC 2237 doesn't appear to diminish the appearance of the this flowery emission nebula. Inside the nebula lies an open cluster of bright young stars designated NGC 2244. These stars formed about four million years ago from the nebular material and their stellar winds are clearing a hole in the nebula's center, insulated by a layer of dust and hot gas. Ultraviolet light from the hot cluster stars causes the surrounding nebula to glow. The Rosette Nebula spans about 100 light-years across, lies about 5000 light-years away, and can be seen with a small telescope towards the constellation of Monoceros.

    I'm off to see Low in London next Friday.

    Their previous albums have all been experiments in how slowly and quietly you can play rock music, which ends up sounding like a resigned Joy Division. The music is based around exquisite vocal harmonies and intersting sonic textures. The new album is a bit louder, with some beautiful soulful distorted guitar, the type of distortion where there's no music just the sound. Nice.

    Disco

    Peeps on this board really like their rock music huh?

    That sounds like I have to check them out.

    Thanx man.

    Kamelot records all of their albums in Germany believe it or not. As for the band being from Florida, that is correct, but Roy Khan (the lead singer) is from Norway...

    Wohooo, must be something in the air that this kind of music is so big in Germany. trink39.gif

     

    Tomorrow I hope to recive "Epica" from Amazon, notified for shipping today. biggrin.gif

    What are their roots. I heard so much of Helloween & Stratovarius ...?

    Thanx Obi.

    And you know where Keeper of the seven keys I+II been recorded, and Gamma rays debut Heading for tomorrow?

     

    Of cause I know UKW. The mid eighties were a amazing period for German music.

    A lot of cool band were around that time, like Hubert Kah, Peter Schilling, Ideal and so much more. Just like right now again. Many new bands come up with german lyrics and be top of the pops.
