I was very excited when I read the subject line of this post.
Unfortunately, disappointment has crept in. All this seems to be is a
contract that will provide an outside company to develop the soundtrack
for the Bionicle line. And it looks as though you will need a CD-ROM
equipped PC to experience that.
I had different thoughts when I read "LEGO Company enters the world of
music". As many of you have, I recently saw the MEGA BLOCKS toy piano
and thought "wow, what a wonderful idea!" After seeing it and reading
the subject of this post, my imagination conjured up images of
system-sized bricks that produced different tones. You could arrange
them in a certain way to play a song and there would be an included
constructopedia that had a bunch of children's favorites. Different
color bricks for the different notes...different sizes that determined
length of the tone. A way to "construct" music visually. LEGO music!
But, back to reality....
