Question: I recently found online a solo piano work credited to both Oldfield and Enya. Musically, it sounds like the very beginning of Sentinel from Tubular Bells II (albeit this cut is, I am guessing, in F major, whereas Sentinel began in G major). Did Oldfield ever put out a piano solo of the intro to Sentinel, or is this a non-Oldfield work I have, being passed off as his?

If it helps, anybody can PM me and I will send them the mp3 of the track in question.

The main reason you couldn't hear it here is that I, being new to the board, was (and still am) unaware as to whether members are allowed to post direct download links. If I am allowed to do so, I will post it to a file-sharing server, and post the download link in this thread.

Can someone please refer this thread to a moderator, to get clarification as to whether file-sharing links are acceptable here? Thank you in advance.

I have heard this piece lots and lots of times, I've even burned it on a CD. Its full title is "A Piano Tribute to Mike Oldfield and Enya" and it was created by a guy named Edvard Poldrugo, from Sweden. It's the beginning of "Sentinel" [or "Main Theme 2 from Tubular Bells II", as I usually call it :)] + some very free variations on Enya's "Watermark". A few other Enya snippets are also mixed in. None of the two artists is the real creator.
