Whoa!
Thats all I can say initially after hearing this.
I see this track was posted here in february so my review is a little late but, what the hell.
Im a huge fan of of early and mid 70s Tangerine Dream, and this track could very well be on one of those albums.
Great stuff!

Thanks Nisse. Quite a few people were late onto this one but we enjoyed doing it. As huge fans of TD ourselves, we were a bit self indulgent on this track. You'll notice that Chris did 3 swelling "hits" during the sequencer section similar to Rubycon part one. We thought it would be a good idea.
Glad you liked it.

my best wishes ont he album and please make a new track with last minute of this

Well, after all the recent interest in the Starchaser Trilogy (Pluto, Saturn & Mars)plus the work Chris has been doing to create the radio play for German radio, I think that Chris & I will HAVE to consider writing some more tracks together. Perhaps this winter will see us around the Pleiades or Horsehead Nebula.

We had planned to do a single track together this winter if separate projects allowed us time, but it wasn't neccessarily going to be a Starchaser one. Perhaps we should do an album as you suggest

Can you explain "please make a new track with last minute of this

" please?
Do you mean write a new track together soon or write a complete track based on the final passage of "Mars"? Personally I love Chris's intro to Mars - it is soooo beautiful.
Finally Eon - where is Banja Luka BIH? I always try to visualise where and who I'm replying to.

Chief Scientist report 4b-2003-392-SCT
_____________________________________________

-Hull damages are repaired.
-Storage halls sealed and probed-Fuel index nominal
-Solar collectors working at 95 percent
-Transmission unit repaired and improved to 173 percent
-Gustav is in his sleeping chamber again
-kinetic drive is repaired
-Space curvature drive is ready to use

Summary:
Starchaser is recovered to 100% after the Saturn crash. We are ready to test the space curvature drive to Vega.
Everything is prepared to examine the cold dust disk in the Vega star system. I´m still predict that the dust disk is encasing a big planet orbiting the Vega. I expect a planet twice the mass of Jupiter.

I was able to shoot a first long distance picture, I´am curious to visit this place.

EDIT: as you can see the Vega is not exactly the center of the disc, there must be a planet or something else.

Okay Chris,
Let's go to Vega.
We'll start in December then when you come over to England in January we can finish it off over here (whilst drinking some nice single malts).

Gustav can stay in his cryogenic sleep for another few weeks until we've got the storyboard written.
I'd better hurry up and finish my "Pleiades" track first.
Vega? Where the hell is Vega?

First Officer Neil B

My english is not the best, you know.
Can you explain me the difference between some and many?

Where is Vega? Follow your nose officer, well this will be a journey.

Vega, Starchaser is coming.

Beautiful... I was like taking up onto a cotton like flat and soft surface that took me up to fly for a while, into differt skys...

It just is so positive in esence, it makes you feel well...

Beautiful work, and as I already said long time ago, when I leasted to your first song toguether, keep working toghether, there is something special between you, and you need to recognize, giving to it the right value it has. Use it please.

Thanks Nestor, much appreciated, and "yes", I remember well your comments from Pluto regarding our collaborations.
The news is that in a couple of days time Chris & I will be discussing the storyboard, timings, tempo, key, moods etc of the next track. Once the "plot" is agreed, the music will start for Vega.

Nestor · Post by **Nestor** » Fri Nov 21, 2003 5:58 pm

Just curios... Do you actually know each other? Or it has always been through the Net?

Post by **Neil B** » Sat Nov 22, 2003 2:59 am

Hi Nestor,
No, we've never met or spoken to each other.
It all started with Chris's workshop.
It's all emails and we also use Frizzby so we have a good "chat" for a couple of hours now and again. We also use Frizzby to transfer files to each other for building the tracks.
Hopefully Chris is coming over to the UK for a week in January and we plan to do the final "Vega" mix duing that week. I have my doubts that Chris will be able to cope with my "clockwork computer" though

To be fair though, we feel as if we've known each other for years now, and keep in regular contact about lots of things.

Only five or six weeks to go Neil, stop talking around

Thank you Nestor, I hope we can start with Starchaser were we end.
It´s a mixed feeling to meet Neil for my first time. Yes, we are like a lost brother in different country. Time to meet anyway.

Well Beagle 2 is due to land on Mars tomorrow (Christmas Day)
I just hope that it doesn't start drilling where Chris Werner emptied the chemical toilet.

I had to listen to this because of the title and I was richly rewarded. It deserves my highest compliment which is to say that I would buy this... and all this time I thought MOU stood for Mark of the Unicorn.

Thanks for such a high compliment Braincell - glad you enjoyed it. If only Chris & I could afford a long holiday on the single sale of the track

Well, it seems like Beagle 2 LANDED in the MOU's chemical toilet waste

Speechless.

When I close my eyes and listen to this track loud, I'm totally drawn within it's atmosphere. I get chills allmost any second.

The intro is just sooooo super, and the rest of the travel is an adventure in emotions. The general sound selection makes perfect musical sense and is allways warm, heck, even the appegiators sounds warm. Your use of effects is way beyond reach.

You make machines have souls.

I owe you a musical experience...

Thank you very much for your open listening Thalamus and Braincell, your comments are really welcome.
Unlucky with Beagle2.

Thanks for the comments Noah. Much appreciated.
Making machines have souls - lovely comment.
"I owe you a musical experience" ?? I think not because I've had so many musical experiences from your uploads, but I'm always ready for more from you.
Happy New Year.

Thank you for another 500 views... wow
Neil and I have to marry again.
