Are you serious now, or is this a joke?
Knowing the BM he has seen it in the crystal ball

Like I've posted before, the new B5 OST is very mediocre. As is the film overall.

I'm still waiting for a creative burst from the man, to shake me from my apathy towards his output.

It has been a loooooonnnnnnnng wait my friend.

And that is a shame, the real solo works were very good. B5 wasn't too bad either, but the problem with soundtracks is, the track is still over before it can be exiting.

I think that's why the B5 collections, Volumes 1 and 2 worked so much better. The themes were collected as suites rather than individual cues.

Agree Richard,those individual cues are so damn annoying IMHO

I know there's a lot of frustration with Chris's output or lack of it - maybe a rich fan like that nice Japanese businessman would step in with a commission for a thundering gothic sequencer fest over 5 cds

There I've planted the idea now, all those loaded beyond reason please make your way to the sonic images website.

On another note I recently overcame my aversion to new ageiness and downloaded the Celestine Prophecy from Itunes and I must say I really like it.

However, good though it is, it's not really what most fans want.

No amount of fans cash (unless its from a movie producer...) is going to compel CF to produce hours of 1970's rubberband sequencer magic, I have a special account allocated for this purpose and I have decided to spend it on acquiring the keep on vinyl

If I were Bill Gates that's where my large wadge of green would be going.

well, the PE modular was all powered up several years ago

Chris, can you hear us? Actually he probably doesn't give a monkey's as he gets most sales from Babylon 5 fans these days

the thing is, even if he did do one....would it be any good?

if CF mixed down and filtered through an mxr distortion pedal switched to max, all Babylon 5 soundtracks, to a nice etheral drone [ie silence], and then added hours of improvised moog sequencer based boing boing boing blipp blopp twunk twunk wibble wobble sequencing in trad 70's TD style............[post condensed cos BM no longer lives in thee past]
