Jade Warrior Appreciation Thread

As far as use in soundtrack without band's knowledge let alone permission, don't unclear copyright situations sometimes allow that to happen? I don't know that much about the way creative property rights work in the music business and media overall, but I can imagine that passing over if the film in question's made by the media company as holds the rights to the music in question depending on how the band's contract is worded.

(indeed, haven't some record contracts been terminated over situations like that?)

I have a friend who was a progressive writer in the early 80's and he's institutionalized ..while people continue to post his music on Youtube without his consent. A common situation which occurs today, but nevertheless..he couldn't care less because he's insane.

Quite a shame. Very sad.

I find all the important ingredients of Jade Warrior are there, all those beautiful ethereal reverbed flute and piano sounds and of course Duhig scorching dirty guitars! I'm so glad they dug it out. I haven't focused on Fifth Element just yet, I've heard it about twice maybe and it sounds a little less interesting than Eclipse but of course time will tell. So any fans of these albums around here?

I've always thought of Released as my favorite, but Eclipse has really been my number one choice to go to in the past year or so. It has the the very Tull-like guitar and flute combination, the World Music percussion. Havard's lyrics were always top notch in my view, but they get more modern, introspective, mature and less flower child sounding (not that that's bad). It's a real shame they were just sat on by the record company.
