"samba-style" Actually if true, the music of Stonehenge would pre-date the samba. It would be more acurate if Sambas are now to be described as "Stongehenge-style".

If this is true, show me the outlet for the drum synth.
(or the lemon powered batteries).

No, Stone Age Goa.
Maybe Simon Posford can play there.

Hey! Bruno and Rupert! Get real jobs! They don’t know squat. The “speculate.”
“”Echoes in the space indicate that there might have been rhythmic music played.”
Till speculated that most likely Stonehenge’s music consisted of a simple rhythm played in time to the echoes in the space, at the same tempo as the echo, or at a multiple of it.”
Does somebody pay for this stuff?

Tranceheads are still trying to justify listening to the same music they did 18 years ago. Disco is still dead.

Using cutting-edge technology, Rupert Till, an expert in acoustics and music technology at Huddersfield University in northern England, discovered that Stonehenge’s megaliths reflect sound perfectly, making the stone circle an ideal setting for listening to repetitive trance rhythms.
Gee. A circle of flat rocks echoes the sound back to you. That took some cutting edge technology. Every 7-year-old who has ever goofed off in a round room knows this.
Of course, the reflection is “perfect,” and “ideal.”
And of course, only for listening to repetitive trace rhythms, and not irregular rhythms, or any other type of sound or music.
Right.

I don’t think the problem was that the band was down. I think the problem MIGHT have been a Stonehenge monument that was in danger of being crushed by a DWARF!!
God, I love Spinal Tap...
