still downloading your work bbum....
I listened to your musics elminster, I didn\'t like the first one that much, it sounds too \"artificial\". it usually doesn\'t bother me since I love oldschool mods and occasionnaly listen to trance or that kind of stuff, but mixing it with voices and guitar just sounds weird to me.
Also I love the girl\'s voice and the violins (or whatever it is), but I hate the guy\'s voice...
The second one is very good (dunno why but the intro reminds me of Toshinden

) I\'m going to search for more stuff from Nightwish.

Well, they may be old. But there are SURELY some masterpieces around those. Just listen to Dvorak - New World Symphony. That is the one I like the most from classical music.
I don\'t agree, those intruments are still used nowadays. I \'m not a big classical music fan (I downloaded New World Symphony but I\'m not in the mood right now, maybe I\'ll listen to it tonight), but I do love those instruments in more modern music, or in movies, animes and video games. You might love trance, but I think you have to admit you can\'t make a soundtrack with only trance or techno...
And if you want to know what stuff I like, here are some of my favorites.
VGM / Anime composers :
-Yoko Kanno (Cowboy bebop, Escaflowne, Wolf\'s rain)
-Yasunori Mitsuda (Xenogears, Xenosaga)
-Chris Huelsbeck (Turrican series, Tunnel B1)
and I love ZOE 2nd runner main theme, called \"Beyond the bounds\", but I don\'t know who composed it.
Others :
-Dr Awesome
-Solas
-Lacuna Coil
