I was not sure where to put this one as it is classed as New Age I feel it has a place here:
First a bit from the wiki about Medwyn:
Medwyn Goodall is a composer and musician mostly associated with the New Age genre. He was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1961. He lives with his wife Wendy in Cornwall, England. According to Allmusic "Goodall began composing original songs as a teen, earning local notoriety with his band Trax; in the years to follow, he learned to play a vast range of instruments, including mandolin, piano, drums, harp, flute, glockenspiel, panpipes, vibraphone and synthesizer, and cut his first album at age 16"[1]. He is a prolific recorder, having recorded over 75 albums. He also topped the UK music charts twice and sold over three million albums.[2] His first album was Emergence (1987), published by New World Music.[3] His early albums were published also by Oreade Music. Medwyn Goodall recently started MG Music,[4] a record label which specializes in New Age music.
He produced albums on which he arranged, performed, mixed and mastered every song, although his album, Om (2006), was produced together with Terry Oldfield. There is an updated list of his albums at MG Music[4] and at All Music[3] web sites.
Many of Goodall's recent releases have been under the alias Midori. He explains[5] that he chose this alias so he "could record projects that were more ethnic, eastern, or produced for the healing arts" without confusing fans of his other music. However, there are also other musical artists using or known by the name Midori (such as the jazz-punk combo Midori and the Japanese violinst Midori Goto).
This picks up where Mike Oldfield and Rick Wakeman dropped the batton......Hre we have a musical interpretation of some parts of the Arthurian legand.....using traditional instruments and the inspiration that Medwyn has gained from his Cornish experiences........................Far from being music associated with healing this is an attempt to fulfill New Age Music' philosophy of being " A kind of classical music of today" Medwyn is a master of many instuments and most of his work is built up my using multi track techniques to bgive the impression of an orchestra ...... ..... The music evokes the rugged countryside of Cornwall and the magical nature of the myths and legends of the round table.........far from being simple music this is complex and has symphonic overtones .....

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
