I really appreciate your efforts, but, sorry to say: combining each cd into a single track ruined this post.

I don't understand!!!

Each cd into a single LINK (That no track), What is the problem? Please try to explain me better

the download works fine, but the ca. 15 tracks of each cd were ripped into a single track. imho it makes sense to preserve the division into single tracks because each is a separate part of the opera. it's like ripping a symphony with four movements into a single track. I think this doesn't reflect the original composition, but perhaps I'm too picky. Sorry I didn't want to sound rude. I really like your blog and the time & care you invest.

Ok, friend, I understand now!!!

Is true, it isn't my rip, better separated tracks, but in a opera or oratory doesn't matter, I belive (is not a song for ear this separately), anyway, I apreciate you interest, but "ruined" is a strong word, at last in my poor english.
Bye and enjoy with this special music.

js:Wow, quite some music today! Thanks. As far as all the songs on this one being together, no problem. Besides, if it's a critical problem for some, that's why purchasing the material is a good idea.

Anyway, Thanks so much for your help on the previous goof on my part and certainly do Appreciate all these great shares!

Cheers from the usa! CM

Jan Solo, I shouldn't forget to say your blog is simply the best minimalism blog out there. there is not a single blog which comes even close to yours. Sorry again for my original comment which I think was really too negative. It's good that we sorted it out!

Jan.Solo dijo...

Accepted excuses, you don't worry my friend.

My intention is to bring the minimalism over to all, simply this, in the best way to possible

Hola, Adams es impresionante, y ademas es un padre para toda la música moderna norteamericana para autores de primer nivel como Elliot Goldenthal o Don Davis... es muy agadable poder contar con tus aportaciones jan.solo


Comentarte q el oratorio de El Niño me parece fascinante y que yo lo tengo separado por pistas, si te interesa----> zxelso[arroba]hotmail.com


saludos!

Jan.Solo dijo...

Gracias Celso, efectivamente creo que John Adams es uno de los autores que mas han influido en la musica americana contemporanea, aunque por Europa no es muy conocido, como Moondog, mas dntro del Jazz, pero que Nyman le conoce muy bien. Pronto subiré algo de él.

Y si quieres deja el enlace para El Niño separado por pistas, estaría bastante bien
