Either that or I've listened to MO so much that I'm becoming delusional. Back to top

BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Mar. 12 2005, 08:13 it's truth there is the piano motive from TBI ... actually I believe that MO was even credited somewhere on the album cover but I'm not sure... also a frontpage of a fan-site (think it was this one) say it... -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

So maybe the usage of Oldfieldian material is not totally new to him. That's interesting. Even though I've heard only bad things about Oakenfold (but none of his music, so I won't dismiss him beforehand), it's interesting that any DJ would actually use Mike's material in a set. I'd think that was rather uncommon. Back to top

BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Mar. 13 2005, 07:18 actually the mix which Oaky used was Far above the clouds (Jam & Spoon Far Bellow The Bass Mix) which is quite a dance/trance type track...so no surprise I think -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: Mar. 13 2005, 09:32 Ah, right. Well, that's still pretty cool though.   Back to top

BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Mar. 13 2005, 15:23 actually I think that more surprising is that Mike has let Jam and Spoon and also I think Timewriter remix FATC -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: Mar. 13 2005, 16:51 Not so surprising... he was just trying to be hip I think. Not even a bad idea necessarily, though I don't think the mixes have become very widely known... Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Mar. 13 2005, 17:38 It was the record company, rather than Mike, who commissioned those. He's made his disapproval of many of the remixes known, in the past... Back to top

I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

Who are these neanderthals? I swear if you went into most high street stores and asked staff about acts like Led Zeppelin, Toto, Yes, Rick Wakeman, and Jean Michel Jarre they would draw a blank as to who they were. For the record I'm only 22 years old, my brother is 18 and we both have music taste that overlaps that of our mum. Back to top
