[Order of Týr - Ignite the Desire [Sonic the Hedgehog]]

Hi all! This song is a remix of several Sonic the Hedgehog songs, but it seems like Lava Reef and Ice Cap are the most prevelantly used sources. Knux56k and I have a band named Order of Týr that started out playing power metal and, through several evolutions, has come to be band doing what are effectively game remixes. Order of Týr's music is still somewhat power metal influenced, but we also draw from all sorts of electronica, other kinds of heavy music, drum corps, and lots of other genres.

We have a new album coming out in a couple of months called Flames of Destiny, and this remix is a track from it. The lyrics were written and sung by the only other member of the band, Donna Brown.

[Best Audio Player for Mac? With FLAC support?]

If you're looking for a media player only, I'd suggest VLC. I've never really been one for library management other than directly through the file system as I am frequently changing the machine with which I interact. However, VLC is a great multi-platform media player that will certainly meeting your audio playing needs.

[Saturday Morning Apocalypse]

Powerglove is an awesome band. I had the pleasure of seeing them live in a tiny bar with about a dozen people in attendance (most of them being members of one of the other bands playing that night). They had just as much stage presence and energy as any other video of them I've seen playing to 10-20 times as many people.

They gained my utmost respect that night. I had already known they were great musicians, but they are also great performers and people.
