RyonOlson 153 Posted August 17, 2017 Just now, GrandAdmiralCrunch said: I'll have to check them out. They're not very well known, which is surprising considering their level of musicianship. They have a sound comparable to a mix of Yes and Rush. I'd suggest starting with the album "V", as it is their most popular one. Just a warning: The final song runs for 27 minutes. 1 GrandAdmiralCrunch reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drasnighta 26,831 Posted August 17, 2017 My music focus is somewhat eclectic in what fields I listen to, but generally narrow in each field.... This just happened to be a singular trigger. Now, I'm going to go back to Therion at the moment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cynanbloodbane 3,435 Posted August 17, 2017 @GrandAdmiralCrunch This has been great! I will be updating my gaming soundtracks after this. There are a few gems I was not at all aware of. Great idea. Thanks for running with it! We should do this every year leading up to GenCon, and Gama! 2 GhostofNobodyInParticular and GrandAdmiralCrunch reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandAdmiralCrunch 2,255 Posted August 17, 2017 I will mark it on my calender, though if there is anyone else who wants to run it next time I have no problem giving up the drivers seat. I like the gems others have introduced to me as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your son is around 4 if I remember correctly. Well done on the cultural education front Dras! This reminded me of my own autistic son finding AC/DC soothing at 2 years. He would be out before the first song was over. 1 GrandAdmiralCrunch reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He liked the rolling rock-lines you'd get from AC/DC when he was younger to help him sleep... Then there was a period of time he really liked Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, and when his mother was home, Rammstein... But he's softened into some more Melodic and Operatic metal the past year, going into my other Staples of Therion, Kamelot and even a local home band, Vanishing Point.

Being that it was owned/licenses by FASA in originality, it was taken over to WizKids alongside BattleTech. (Who then produced the MechWarrior Click-Tech Game, which was a terrible flop.) Which means, if anyone, it belongs to TOPPS now (as BattleTech Does) Edited August 17, 2017 by Drasnighta Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Democratus 1,698 Posted August 17, 2017 FASA did some amazing stuff back in the day. I still think John Ford's take on Klingons was the best ever done. And, of course, we got: BattleTech, Shadowrun, and Earthdawn. Was sad to see them go. 2 idiewell and GrandAdmiralCrunch reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
