UGH!!!  that is a shame, indeed.   It is a pity, they really had a wonderful
sound!

The main reason I was hunting for the Phoenyx tape, is this.  I live in a
fighter-heavy Shire, and their marching song (you know the one I'm talking
about!) is roaringly popular here.  I've even heard some local fighting units
march into battle singing it:   

"Axes flash and broadswords swing
Shining armor's piercing ring
Horses run with polished shield
Fight those bastards till they yeild!

"Midnight mud and blood-red ruin
Fight to keep this land your own
Sound the horn and call the cry,
How many of them can we make die?"

Very, very rousing;  and a song I can actually get the fighters to sing at
bardic circles, because everyone seems to have the lyrics memorized.  But
because the tape was a recycled bootleg...no one here seems to know the NAME
of the bloody thing!   Do you happen to remember the title?

Said the longbowman to the foot-soldier:  "Run all you want.  You'll die
tired."

Vivat the Dream!
