Advantages: Simple, straightforward, versatile, and CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP Disadvantages: If you haven't got a MIDI keyboard, things get too timeconsuming; still better than Cubase though.
I have being using Noteworthy Composer (NWC as it is known) since... 1997. I tell you, this application is a BEAUTY!
After using it for almost one year as a shareware, I finally decided to give the $39 that it comes for, and get the full thing. No serious difference really, the only hitch in the shareware is that you cannot save more than 10 times the same file (a problem that can be easily overcome by the glorious application of Cut and Paste...). The prog is good for writing printable music scores, MIDI files, MIDI playback, and very good for music education. In this review I will include alot of tekkie details, but if you havent got a clue on sampling and electronic music, head for the BEGGINERS' INFO section. Where shall I start?
NWC is a music score editor (much like a text editor, only here one can write music scores). But ...

Advantages: Vincent & American Pie. Disadvantages: Lots of naff tracks.
American Pie - Don McClean
This album was originally released in 1971, this is the 1988 CD version, or at least the CD of the 1988 version (says 1988 on CD sleeve, though I do not remember CD's in 1988! Or maybe I just did not have any then, lol). According to various sources this album is amongst the 'best ever' American albums, really?
McClean was/is primarily a folk singer and this album, by all accounts was a 'one off', he certainly has little fame apart from this album. The album itself is quite an epic, particularly the title track 'American Pie', a song of over eight and a half minutes that tells a story that is a mix between psychedelia, Americana folk and angsty ballad. The famous line 'The day the music died' is referring to the air crash that killed Buddy Holly.
This album should not include 'Sister Fatima' according ...
Advantages: Edward Norton; Dialogue; Tension; Story Disadvantages: Propaganda
"We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help the struggling black man, you know. Cut him some slack until he can overcome these historical injustices. It's crap. I mean, Christ, Lincoln freed the slaves, like, what? 130 years ago. How long does it take to get your act together?"
--Derek Vinyard
Edward Norton is one of those rare contemporary actors that you know whatever movie he's going to be in it's going to be good. American History X is by no means an exception, with Norton phenomenal in his performance as an ex-neo-Nazi attempting to prevent his brother from pursuing the path he did.
Edward Furlong (Terminator 2) plays the young skinhead Danny Vinyard, criticised by his teacher (Avery Brooks) for turning in a paper on Mein Kampf. The black teacher then instructs Danny to create a report ...
