Also for Middle Earth prog see Glass Hammer. I don't own any of their music, but it does sound promising.
For all you folks like me who hadn't realized it, there is a thread for music reviews out there. So I have subscribed to it and will refrain from too much info here. In the meantime let me by you a cup of coffee Ealasaide! ![]() Music Review Thread Last edited by Hilde Bracegirdle; 03-03-2004 at 04:03 PM. |

Cool! Thanks, Pio & Hilde -- I will check them out. Grunge, power metal, alternative, industrial/punk... all works for me!
![]() Also, sorry, Hilde! I hope you didn't take any offense at my comments. I seem to be trying to set some kind of record for crassness lately. Don't know what gets into me sometimes.... ![]() |

Not at all Ealasaide, and I do not think that you've been at all crass. (But you may want to stop burning the midnight oil for the RPG's, else you might just drool on your keyboard and short it out! Or at least have a face like a waffle for awhile

Not that this has any relevance to anything... I just thought it was kind of fun: I just found out that one of my family names on my father's side is "Greenleaf". Unfortunately, no relation to Legolas!

cd burial
I have gotten adventurous (reckless??) in buying CDs. I purchased three LOTR-related: Stephen Oliver's BBC adaptations, Bilbo's Great Adventure and The Alan Horvath Rings Project (as yet unopened, she mutters with a blush.) I have yet to review them but I do plan to...
Balanced against those are the three U2 cd's I just bought (also as yet unwrapped.) Could somebody knowledgable do a thorough review of those Glass Hammer albums? ...please? I've also finished Kocher's biography of Tolkien. I need to write up that review review too... Anybody have a poster of the really old map that had the psychedelic emu mural wrapped AROUND the map? I've never seen it online, scanned, mentioned... it was my first ME map, and I'm waxing nostalgic and would like to see it again. "What's become of my old Map, Frodo... the one I gave you?" "I lost it, Uncle...." "...pity..."

In Mirkwood Forest there dwelt a sprite
Ealasaide whom they called lady Greenleaves And ages spent she in moonlight bright Lingering under leaves of linden trees No darkness withstood her gaze Nor could shadow remain where her footsteps passed Near her birds sang and fawns did graze And the stag bowed and followed on silvered grass (cut ![]() Once Prince Greenleaf had been all her joy Although long ago he sailed away But silvered light fell on Greenwood fair While yet Ealasaide lingered and tarried there (replace with ![]() Once Prince Greenleaf had been her delight Deep was their joy while he tarried there But he sailed long since from haven bright While yet Ealasaide lingered in Greenwood fair The seasons swept, and the ages changed The dominion of men had arrived at last But deep within the forest grey Ealasaide lingered long on the silvered grass She walks there still, so the harpers say The black butterflies are the lament she sings And deep within the forest grey Is the shimmering silver her moonlight brings Still near her the white stag stays Though he leaps no more since his age is past Birds sing and fawns softly graze While her tears fall like dew on the silvered grass

Ealasaide bends in a deep curtsy, her skirts sweeping the floor.
"That's lovely!" she says when she finally finds her voice. "Thank you, Mark-Helen! You leave me breathless...and quite nearly speechless. I'm deeply honored." |

That was marvelous Helen! How very nice of you!
![]() Also, I guess I had better send for a Glass Hammer Album to review. Unfortunately, one of the songs on the sampler reminded me quite a bit of Monty Python and the Holy Grail's "Brave Sir Robin" song. Ah well, there is another to try first! |

Helen waves and smiles. "Glad I am that you found it fair, " she says, "although I am yet tempted to fuss at the third stanza a bit. I lost the rhyming scheme there..."
She wanders off humming Green(s)leaves, and re-thinking Once Prince Greenleaf had been her delight But he sailed long since from haven bright But silvered light fell on Greenwood fair While yet Ealasaide lingered and tarried there Frowns. "No, that's AABB, not ABAB. Drat." Tries again: Once Prince Greenleaf had been her delight Deep was their joy while he tarried there But he sailed long since from haven bright While yet Ealasaide lingered in Greenwood fair She nodded, and sighed with satisfaction. "Shall I edit the original post? Yes, I think so..."

Hey! Anybody have some music they want to review? hee-hee...
I seem to have pretty effectively killed the thread when all I was trying to do was poke a little fun. Sorry! ![]() In the meantime, until someone joins me again, I guess I shall sit here all alone upon the ground and tell sad tales of the deaths of kings to none but mine own ears... (My apologies to another fine old codger, William Shakespeare. ![]() |

Oh how nice, a story! What age would this king be living, or rather dying in?

Ealasaide, do not fret that you have "killed " this thread. It has an undulating, pulsating life of its own, Blossoming, fading, going dormant, and then emerging again... rather like a daffodil on a shorter schedule.
And I did review some music... it's on the music review thread, which was more or less birthed out of this thread (and its predecessor...) "The Hobbitons" CD recently arrived, so look for a review on that over the next week or so. *sits crosslegged, wraps cloak about self, and settles in for story about long-dead king*
