Ave, all, and thank you to Chariovalda for posting this link! Actually, the "Mars Respite" is exactly what we <span style="text-decoration:underline">don't</span> want, i.e., someone simply taking "I wanna be an Airborne Ranger" and changing a few (very few, in this case) words around. This being said, I found the music, as well as the idea of Roman instruments on a modern album, fascinating! Several of the tracks actually make me wanna scrape together a scratch band and some improvised instruments and try it myself at an event. I'll probably buy the CD just to listen to Latin lyrics... I <em>did</em> enjoy the "Mars" track as well, as it replicated what would presumably be the sounds of a century on the march, complete with powerful visual images that the music invokes (this is an aspect entirely missing from modern reconstructions).<br>

Thank you again for something new and exciting!<br>
