A progressive pope of many levels then, although i'm sure on the chant music forums in 6th century that Pope Gregory's creation of the Gregorian chant caused similar discussions. |

It says Tony Pagliuca from Le Orme wrote some of the songs, so I'm sure he'll appear on it somehow. Either way, I'm intrigued now. The taster track's very mediocre, and I doubt it'll get better, but let's be honest, who doesn't want to hear this? Pumped

I hear tunes, I cannot reject this ever! and it has brilliant overlapping instrumentals plus excellent orchestration!It's weird tho' just because of the topic however wake up vocals ruin it for me, just instrumentals are much better without singing. The vocals are a bit Donald or Daffy Duck but in a sweeter way  I don't like the vocals/voice, it ruined it and turned it more techno style for me. Also the added Eros Ramazotti kind of added vocals also don't do it for me.  Love you all tho' inc. Pope Francis

They never rang my door again!!!  |

yeah.. I used to be bugged by a cute pair of Mormon missionaries when I was living in Stillwater. (premonition I suppose of soon meeting the spawn of Satan). I adopted the can't lose method to dealing with them..oh I invited them in.. and turned on the McCharm to corrupt them or scare them away. Needless to say their faith was stronger than my masculine wiles... as it was.. we actually really hit it off and quite friendly. I had NO interest in the faith.. but since my own faith was still up in the air.. I had quite a lot of fun talking big picture spirituality with them. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I feel it would sounded better if they had been able to leave the cheering out (don't know if that would have been possible using the original speech), and perhaps keep a bit more of music going through the speech. |

Hopefully good Pope Francis does not issue ex-cathedra a definition of Prog as irreparable infallible dogma according tu rules Pastor Aeternus We teach and define that it is a dogma Divinely revealed that the Roman pontiff when he speaks on some album, it is Prog Rock important for the salvation of souls each and every. So then, should anyone, which God forbid, have the temerity to reject this definition of ours: let him be anathema. |
