Elia, congrats.
I'm very glad you came back for ASp3.
It looks like the effort paid off.

  BTW, did I mention that Elia was my grandfather's name?

      I actually found that out last night.
      My mother was talking about her dad.
      Since everyone called him Leo, I assumed that that was his name.
      But Leo was his middle name.
      His first name was Elia.
      
      So, now I'm wondering if Elia Cmiral's family is also from Sardinia.

        At a friend's house which is a few miles away from my old house.

        Of course.
        Family, friends, pizza, and the cigar parlor are the only things worth the visit.

        Your family is from Sardinia?! That is cool. It is probably the oldest gene pool in Europe...older than the Basques.

        (Also statistically the highest in percent Neanderthal genes - about 3-5%.)

        Interestingly, native Africans have the least Neanderthal genes.

        They also are short on the other two human groups, the Denisovans (discovered and identified circa 2000) and the recently determined midget of Indonesia.
        
        Personally, I've always carried some doubt about the 'Out of Africa' hypothesis as the full answer to the common origins of humanity. Although the hypothesis is 'PC' in this era, I believe in the future, the story will alter.

        I agree: it is becoming clear that between the two theories: (a) out of Africa and (b) local evolution the answer is (c) both of the above. (Even within Africa, there were apparently about 20 subspecies of hominin that were starting to diverge into their own species...and then they all interbred and formed a single species again.)

        Sardu, the native Sardinian language (not a dialect of Italian) is also the romance language which is the least changed from Latin.

        Swiss Romansch speakers might disagree.

        Romansh was not listed in the citation I read.

Best of luck! Getting to the final round and being announced on the show would really be a boon for the movies.

I put the John Galt Theme on my phone as soon as I got the ASP1 CD. I did not think much of the ASP2 music but loved the ASP3 music as it complemented the movie very well. Congratulations to Elia on a job well done. Now, I am deciding which tracks from the ASP3 CD to put on my phone for easy access.

I agree completely with all the congratulations and especially with gafisher.

Elia, you made a move that was important to me even more amazing. I play the soundtracks from AS1 and AS3 at least once a week - and I thought the Baroque greats were the only ones who could clear my mind. John Galt's theme, especially, never fails to move me in a positive direction.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, there are only a few thousand Romansh left.

Atlas III wasnt that good really. It suffered from a lack of money in an industry where its ALL about money and what it buys in a movie. It just didnt stack up to the movies we all are used to seeing. Atlas I, on the other hand was VERY WELL DONE

Great! Excellent music. If nothing else this will bring a modicum of attention to the movie as well as Elia's talent.

Congratulations, Elia. The ASP3 musical score and performance perfectly complement both the visuals and the plot, bringing a very rich additional dimension to the experience of the film, as well as standing up very well on their own. I purchased the soundtrack as soon as it became available, and have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your fine work. Once again, congratulations!
