Thanks Rebsie! This band - if band is the proper word to use - was indeed put together in the 70s (5 points there!) and carried on into the 80s as well. They often used a rather grand orchestral style in some of their pieces. Glad you liked it, and you get a 5 point bonus for being the first to comment!! :o) Cheers, Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

The 80s kind of slid by for me as well. These musicians did release new albums into the 80s, so like Rebsie, you collect points too! Thanks for your comments - like that majestic adjective! Keep well, Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

tricky one Its not something by Tangerine Dream or Mike Oldfield? Like the orchestral feel of it? Check out my latest song called Electricity
|
| Doug Somers said 726 days ago (December 1st, 2007) | |
|
No, but I have to admit that when I listened to the guitar in the last repeat, the sound is very much like Oldfield. I can get the TD references too. Close, but no cigar my friend. Thanks for the comments! Cheers, Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

Actually reminds me of The opening of the Floyd's Atom Heart Mother in a way - minus the orchestra. But I have a feeling I'm way off base. Check out my latest song called try not to think
|
| Doug Somers said 726 days ago (December 1st, 2007) | |

That's a Pink Floyd album I don't know But, take consolation that you're right - you are off base. :o) Thanks for stopping by! Best, Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

Parsons produced Floyd Or at least some of their work like Dark Side of the Moon. So the influence is there. Good call. Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

| Mystified said 726 days ago (December 1st, 2007) | |
|
yeah... Now here is one that I might know! (oooh...it's a miracle!) I have to agree with SmokeyVW and The Alan Parsons Project. I had a roommate in college who introduced me to their music...though she only had a couple of their albums. I'm guessing this one is from I Robot, if it is Alan Parsons. 'Whoever' it is...I like it! :D Check out my latest song called For the Beauty of the Earth

I have to admit that I was veering towards Steve's suggestion of Tangerine Dream. But I sense a move towards Alan Parson's Project. That would make sense too. It might also explain why some people are mentioning Pink Floyd given the Alan Parsons connection. Check out my latest song called Fiddler Off the Roof w/Komrade K & Caroline

| Doug Somers said 719 days ago (December 9th, 2007) | |

All true Tangerine Dream is another great group but your AP leanings are on the mark. Thanks for coming by! Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)
|
| Peter Bauckham said 726 days ago (December 1st, 2007) | |
|
I still trying to guess - It does remind me of The Alan Parsons Project's ealier stuff - perhaps 'I Robot' - But your notes make me think 'Eye in the Sky' which was a little later I think... Peter Check out my latest song called All The Same (CBGB) (Last Chance Challenge)

|
| Doug Somers said 716 days ago (December 11th, 2007) | |
|
Yes, it has been a long time since this music was kicking around. Your guess nailed the group in one go, so the memory can't be too foggy. :o) Glad you liked this piece! Cheers, Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

King Crimson but don't know the album. You have surpassed yourself with this track, its brilliant.

I'm guessing: Alan Parsons Project: "I Robot" Check out my latest song called Outside the Corral
|
| Doug Somers said 719 days ago (December 9th, 2007) | |

Another SOoooooooooooo close Great guess. It references the finale of I Robot but also contains later elements too. Thanks, Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

Very nice- but I haven't a clue. I saw a few guesses for Alan Parsons, which I'm not that familiar with, but would lean towards as a guess :) |
| Doug Somers said 721 days ago (December 7th, 2007) | |

Gotta mention that I love your burning question icon. Very cool. Going with the flow on the guessing can't hurt.....or can it?? Anyway, glad you enjoyed this one. Keep well, Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

Cool track, Doug. Cool track, Doug. Must have been fun to plan out and record. It has a definite rock-opera feel to it. Maybe 'cinematic' would be a better word. Check out my latest song called NECAP Test song

Hi John Sorry for the late reply - busy times around the holidays. Glad you liked this one. It didn't take too much planning for this since the early Alan Parsons music was fairly well burned into my grey matter during university. It was just a matter of sitting down and letting the music out. I'm working with my son Mike on a remix which is nearly done, but it has been a little slow going due to Christmas preparations for me and end of term papers for him. BTW, I'll be getting Ivory for Christmas and am really looking forward to trying it out. Hope all is well with you, and thanks again for stopping by and leaving your kind remarks. All the best, and Merry Christmas! Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

|
| Doug Somers said 270 days ago (March 1st, 2009) | |

Definitely too short and yet I don't have an inspiration for what I would do with it. Maybe some day.... I know that the build for some of the groups of that era could go on for a long time. I don't play guitar well enough to wail away in a solo for a few minutes. Anyway, thanks for the strong vote of confidence on this one and should I ever get back to it maybe you'd be up to a collab and help me develop this more? Thanks again for your kind remarks.

I just tried downloading it and it seemed to work OK I don't know what might be happening but try again later and see if the problem had anything to do with something wrong at the MacJams server end of things.

It's nice ... but I've no idea what it is!
Has a kind of 70s big production feel to it, but that's as far as I've got.
