As you can imagine, due to my nick, i'm also a great fan of Old Rover and all the other Mithotyn songs.
And i was very sad as i heard that Mithotyn gave up(Back in 1999 i was 17 *lol*). the more happier i was as the first Falconer Album was released. Ok i also was very sceptic because i was very disappointed about Vintersorgs evolution, and after that even Borknagar drifted away from my musical taste.
But back to topic:
I think the Mithotyn songs have their own power and they're good the way the songs are.
Without their original vocals the Mithotyn songs wouldn't be that good i think, especially the "king of the distant forest" album which, due to my opinion, was the peak of Mithotyn music.
@Stefan:
So keep on doing the music the way you do, its one of the best musical evolutions i know! And i still like to hear the Mithotyn songs as much as i do the Falconer songs!
