Platinumpty Group: Members Posts: 178 Joined: May 2011 Posted: July 27 2011, 06:26 Yes, thanks.  He does seem in rather chipper form, and Maconie did a good job in avoiding any of the thorny "why" questions that Mike dislikes so much. And he pretty much confirmed he's working on new material and considering a tour, so all in all, positive news I'd say (but then I'm generally a "glass half full" kinda guy).

ingresman Group: Members Posts: 90 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: July 27 2011, 08:33 I wondered what got re-matered then - just the 2 track mix down? What woukd have been interesting would have been a 5.1 mix of the bits he could find and issued as bonus much like the lost version of Ommadawn Back to top

familyjules Group: Members Posts: 1190 Joined: May 2004 Posted: July 27 2011, 12:34 Quote (Mat Cochrane @ July 26 2011, 18:04) The mixes are still around but they couldn't find all the original multitracks and/or some of them were unplayable. So they couldn't pull the original mix apart to do a new 5.1 mix. I suspect this kind of thing might happen more and more the further through the back catalogue we go. Actually you'd have thought that it would have been the first three (ie older) albums that would have been the most affected by the ravages of time, wouldn't you?  I was surprised that he could remix the first three, but not Incantations.  Disappointed too.

Cavalier (Lost Version) Group: Members Posts: 598 Joined: Nov. 2010 Posted: July 29 2011, 07:39 Okay, it didn't.  I cut and I pasted but some aspect of mobility did not agree with something.  Now at a common or garden computer and try this for size.  Same questions apply http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/albums -------------- "Who was that?"

CJJC Group: Members Posts: 210 Joined: Aug. 2010 Posted: July 29 2011, 09:39 Not entirely clear what it is you want us to acknowledge as wrong, unless it's that they're using the classic front cover. -------------- IMHO Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: July 29 2011, 11:11 @ CJJC: I guess Cavalier refers to the fact that it's a bit unusual, right now in 2011, to see a classic Mike Oldfield record in the top 40. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Cavalier (Lost Version) Group: Members Posts: 598 Joined: Nov. 2010 Posted: July 29 2011, 14:17 CJJC and Ugo - to quote Homer Simpson again: "You're both right" I found the reported chart positions for last year's releases difficult to believe, but have been pleasantly surprised at the news Simmo2005 broke.  I'll be heading into the big city tomorrow to see if I can find a copy.  The irony is that if the sales figures (mostly pre-sales I assume) hold up, then HMV would have been paying attention to the midweeks and may have ordered in a few copies for every store -including mine - so that number 3? in the chart display next week is not empty.  In which case a few more casual sales may occur -------------- "Who was that?"

MikeArnold Group: Members Posts: 26 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: July 29 2011, 22:15 Much thanks to Matt for transcribing Mike's interview, which came across with Mike sounding very affable and positive. Great stuff! Back to top
