I was put onto Lake of Tears by Winterwords, here on the Acaeum.  I now have several of their CD's: Forever Autumn, Black Brick Road and Crimson Cosmos. They are simple and charming...with their Finnish accents and all.  Over-produced and melodramatic...much like any product D&D players might make or like. I have never met another person who even knows who they are.

My second favorite thing about the world wide web is the music one can find.  (The first being the Acaeum, of course   ) Even if I don't understand the language, the music and emotion comes through.  Or not, depending on the source. leadjunkie JG Valuation Board Joined: 26 Aug 2004 Last Visit: 06 Jan 2009 Posts: 180 Location: Nevada, TX Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2007 8:29 pm     gyg wrote: Isn't RE Howard the Scientology fella?   (j/k!)

Though it is 'clear' that D&D is probably not related to Scienology! mbassoc2003 Sage Collector Joined: 03 Jan 2005 Last Visit: 07 Jan 2009 Posts: 2523 Location: UK Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2007 5:16 am     leadjunkie wrote: That would be L.
