Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1865 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: April 13 2003, 11:51 From e-xcentric.com: Mike Oldfield and Warners Records Spain have turned to e-xentric thinking to handle all creative elements of the Tubular Bells 30-year anniversary release. Planned for May release, e-xentric has been briefed to work on the CD cover, website, TV commercial and DVD.     Bill Smith, e-xentric director and one of the UK's most experienced music designers is naturally excited about the opportunity "we've worked with Warners Records Spain and Mike Oldfield for many years, but this is a big one. We're relishing the opportunity to create a fresh (but recognisable) look to Tubular Bells in 2003." (Thanks, Oldfield.de) Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: April 13 2003, 12:12 But I thought Bill Smith had a company called Bill Smith Studios, who made previous artwork for Mike like Guitars, Elements etc.? Or has he changed the company's name to e-xentric? -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Oh, and i thought the cover art was already done with TB2003? was that just someone's hopeful rendition? is that the one made by e-xcentric? i'm so confused as to what is really going to be on this album and what isn't?!!!! -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect.

The cover on the website is e-xentric's design, as is the website itself. e-xentric is Bill Smith's move from a design studio to a one-stop marketing solution (Bill SMith Studios was recently bought up by e-xentric, which is how he got there). By the way, take a look at the 'about us' page - there's a little animation where a thought bubble appears, which is replaced by a moving 'spotlight'. Move it around and you'll see it reveals the TB3 bell... Back to top
