any1 know the name of that song that they play before the fireworks start..?
i believe its a song made for competitions...

heres a hint, it play when the mondial saq boat passes
and it stops when the fireworks starts, when the guy says 10 9 8 7....

It is by Vangelis (from the Conequest of Paradise CD as far as I know).

The music sequence is like this:

1) Chariots of fire
Then Michel Lacroix does his introduction.

2) Winter by David Foster
The pyro team is now crossing the lake in the boat

3) 1492 by Vangelis
This plays as the team is introduced on the stage

4) More Vangelis from Conquest of Paradise (I think)
This fills in the time until the countdown from 10.

Paul.

very kewl
thx alot!

i think im missing 1

the last song, before Micheal does the count down, im trying to search it thro kazaa

im going to try to email mondial saq if case u dont know it

I think the last piece played just before the countdown just follows on directly (on the CD) from the one before it. I'll ask the audio production guys when I'm there on Wednesday what the titles of those two pieces are.

Paul.

2) Winter by David Foster
3) 1492 by Vangelis

thx again!

OK, here is the definitive order.

1) Chariots of fire (Vangelis)
Announcements by Michel Lacroix
2) Winter by David Foster (while the boat goes round the lake)
3) Light and Shadow (from 1492, Vangelis)
as the pyro crew is introduced on stage
4) Opening titles from The Bounty (Vangelis)
5) Closing titles from The Bounty, leading up to the countdown from 10

Paul.

and what about "Conquest Of Paradise"?

do they play that???

It seems not - there are definitely 5 pieces of music, but it could be that the music they play when the pyro crew are being introduced on stage may include "Conquest Of Paradise".

I'll have an answer for sure on Wednesday since I'll look at the production script. But at least we managed to identify the two pieces that lead up to the countdown!

Paul.

yeah, thats what i thought,
damn these songs r excellent, beautiful, La ronde should release a cd with these 5 songs lol!

Yes they should.

My favorite is the song "Conquest of Paradise" by Vangelis. This is such a powerful and beautiful song.

The best thing is the way the Argentinian firm used this song to start of their show! It was so good! Especially, during the segment, when those bright yellow flares spark in the bottom! It was really dramatic!

Hey Paul and Enkil, I really didn't know that they play these soundtracks before the countdown! I'm not too familiar with the other three songs, but I know the song Chariots of Fire," very very well. That song played for my aunt's wedding!! So I love this song as well, it brings back memories.

They're not going to change the soundtrack next year, are they? I want to hear it again.

Please reply soon.

Trav.

u can download them at kazaa

Oh yeah, Enkil, and this message goes for all Kazaa users, do not, I repeat DO NOT make any downloads due to a virus that's going on in the program presently. It already affected many, so I suggest that we wait until it's safe again, that's what I'm going to do

For more details, check in the papers for an artical, I forget which section.

Once again, please refrain from using this program for now until further notice. I'll try to keep you guys informed.

Trav.

i personally im not affraid of virus, but theres 10% chances that the file u download is a virus, so theres nothing to worry about, u check if its a mp3 file and everything will fine.......

u could also scan if u have antivirus, well if u want to stay 100% safe u can wait
