BLACKMORE'S NIGHT - Shadow of the Moon
Review by Symphonic Age @ 11:17:55 AM EST, 10/10/2004
5 stars  —   I premise that if music were for me from X to XVIII century coverals would be praising, but the first one I listen Blacmore's Night has been much amazing. They have remained confuseed in listening Sir Blackmore to together make minstrel that great piece of woman (blessed soul he...) that it answers to the name of Candice Night. It is not that (to think) hour do good things to us various therefore from when in Raimbow was Ronnie James Dio! And I must say that to make renaissance music with this seriousness it wants to say that indeed gets passionate you of this historical period, because sure music does not come will therefore if not know the historical period. In order to end, I thank Candice Night (on purpose... Task that after Annie Haslam of Renaissance [ops... but renaissance must just be one constant] this is the best femine voice that I have never felt) in order to have made to reborn Sir Blackmore. And when you visit a castle or a Venetian villa not forgotten to insert Blackmore's Night like soundtrack. It you will not repent!

Has Andrea got a new name?LOL
I wonder who the best female voice he has felt is?Embarrassed

The Guy Is Classic!! I can't wait for the next new one.  Did you all see this one?

 

EMERSON LAKE & PALMER (ELP) Tarkus
Review by Symphonic Age @ 2:24:19 PM EST, 9/30/2004

5 stars  —  Which is it the better Prog album? If the ELP had joined to the suite named "Tarkus" "Luky Man" (included in the first album) and some songs of Nice sure this! In fact the B side does not resist the weight of the first one and to make great songs and pure filled up to you he was not what of all (but you listen to the Led Zeppelin!). "Tarkus" (I mean the suite) is the best Progressive score of the history because it is dramatic, apocalyptic and it trasmits a sense of living the history that moves also after thousands listens. And this LP that had to be stopped here.


I wonder how much the A side weighs?  Are we being insulted for listening to Led Zeppelin?

I suggest you try to review in a second album and see how you fare. This kind of mean-spirited "humour" seems to be contagious on this forum.

Did you mean second language there Rooibos? If not sorry, I'm not entirely sure about what your first sentence means.

I was backing your post, buddy, not being negative. Sincerely, this site has become very mean spirited. I was one of the first members and we tried to provide a positive and reserved environment. I agree with you. Making fun of someone's verbage is not conducive to creating a comfortable forum. A few of the "founding members" have left for this very reason. It is alos the reason you see the "civility thread" at the top of each section. I come here because I love progressive rock and I enjoy the playful banter many members engage in. I avoid politics and religion and I try not to step on toes, except for a few innuedoes, all in pure, clean, fun.

This thread was started because some of the reviews, by means of the babblefish translator, have created some nearly hysterical prose. It was NOT meant to harm any persons view or statement.

Chill, bro.

Why are you so uptight?  First you jump on me although I didn't post the first one about SA then you jump on the guy trying to help you. Mean-spirited? I didn't call him names or question his heritage or anything else.  First of all, it IS funny how languages interpret so strangely sometimes and i can't wait for his next one. Comedians have used jokes about it for years.  I didn't mean to single him out just the content of what he wrote and how it came out. Kudos for him that he tries but it doesn't make it less funny to me.  I wouldn't attempt to do one in another language because of that.  If you do post in a public forum you have to expect that kind of treatment sometimes.

Sorry danbo, i was not suggesting that you were tearing a piece off me. I was referring to the next post. I have not yet gotten used to the use of the QUOTE button yet or these rather foolish looking smily face things.

All:

Quite obviously, Symphonic Age is using a translation software that is not doing a very good job.  I am hoping to contact him/her and tell him/her to either use a different software or attempt to write in english as well as possible.

Peace.

I don't believe James Lee started this thread with any ill intent. It is a humorous thread, nothing more. If someone is truly offended, we should let it sink into the sunset.

The last thing I want is to shun any member from having a place here.

I think that showcasing someone's laboured attempts at writing in English might cause offense, whether or not it's intended. However, if someone's review is crass, or is plagiarism, or simply completely inappropriate then I don't think they should be too surprised if their review is highlighted in a thread such as this.

I do wish I could find the one-word review I mentioned earlier in this thread - a review consisting solely of "mierda" (sh*t in Spanish) but I have a feeling MAX@ may have deleted very short reviews in a subsequent cull. To highlight such reviews and have a chuckle is understandable. But I put myself in andrea's position and wonder how he feels about this thread (if he has read it, that is).
