The latter not so much for Virgil's contribution, but the song 'Confessions' is just beautiful! I'm such an old romantic. But overall, OTV! __________________ Visit www.johngregson.co.uk and be happy.

I also like the style on that cd, and the overall sound. the sooooo heavy guitars, the riffs, the thundering drumsound (I already know some will and do disagree with me but I can't help, I absolutely love it!!!)

The funny thing with this album is the closer you listen to it, the more complex it gets. Try it! I don't see any Ring of Fire on the poll. There is some good stuff on those albums!!! __________________ MUSIC STARTED WITH DRUMS - THINK ABOUT IT

I can never get enough of OTV. I think this is because OTV is more diverse than Moonbabies. Other than that, I LOVE The Moon is Falling from Joel Hoekstra, but it's not 'progressive' enough for me. (That Hoekstra name is not hard for me to pronounce at all! It's a very common name here in Holland! ) And the other albums are great too, pure genius!!! But I don't dig them as much as the previous mentioned albums...! __________________ Listen to Relocator (Myspace) Buy our album!

That's a Dutch name? so how do you pronounce it ? I HAVE to know finally

!!

Well, like I mentioned before, I also LOVE the moon is falling, but what about Undefined? It's not as good, but also killer i think! At least some Donati playing. Most of the songs are not THAT great I think.

The H is just H... as in the word "hard" or sth.. the OE are pronounced as the O in the word "Loser".. And the rest shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. Hope this solves something! And if this isn't enough, I'll make a soundsample of the pronounciation! (Though I'm afraid it will have to include a drumsolo!) __________________ Listen to Relocator (Myspace) Buy our album!
