ChiRho Group: Members Posts: 195 Joined: Feb. 2001 Posted: Oct. 10 2001, 05:31 I know that we have the system of abbreviations for referring to Mike's albums, as follows (in order): Mike Oldfield (MO): TB HR OTB O (B) Inc Ex P QE2 FMO Cr D TKF CMO Is EM A HO TB2 El [T]SODE V XXV TB3 G TMB (I think - anything wrong - please tell me) So why not extend this to other artists. Example: Jean-Michel Jarre (JMJ): O E CM CEC MAZUR MPS Ess Z E85 RV HL R Live EAC I C HK O2 OTO2 EN M (Most are guessable if you have a list, the ones that might catch you out - E85: Essential JMJ (1985 vs. original), EAC: Waiting For Cousteau/En attendant Cousteau, O2: Oxygene 7-13) -------------- <P>Mr. ChiRho Email to chirho@mine.nu.almost (guess what drops) Visit ChiRho Network Central [URL=http://www.chirho.i12.com/]http://www.chirho.mine.nu/[/URL] Check the forums (topic suggestions still welcome[URL=http://forum.chirho.mine.nu/]http://forum.chirho.mine.nu/[/URL] Back to top

A lot of people around here would probably not understand the abbreviations. Me, for example. I find Jarres music quite dull and boring, I only have the Images - best of cd. Back to top

Hillbilly Group: Members Posts: 51 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Oct. 11 2001, 08:55 Well, I'm also a big fan of Midnight Oil and member of a mailing list, where MO is often used as an abbreviation for the band name... So I have to distinguish between MO = Midnight Oil and MO = Mike Oldfield. Am I having a hard time?... Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 11 2001, 17:45 ...Completely off topic... I like both Eric Clapton and Elvis Costello. They are, of course, both abbreviated as EC in their (respective) best fan sites. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 11 2001, 18:05 ...Back on topic... ChiRo, can you please tell me what is EN, which I couldn't find on any online discography... ...and if it is good, according to you. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

TimHighfield Group: Members Posts: 543 Joined: Oct. 2000 Posted: Oct. 11 2001, 21:41 Following on from what Hillbilly and Ugo both said, it's interesting to find non-Mike tracks that fit the Oldfield-abbreviations. For example: SOTW- (Shadow on the Wall, Smoke on the Water...) SOS- (Source of Secrets (strictly TSOS, but I'm slack ), Sultans of Swing...) -Tim- Back to top

ChiRho Group: Members Posts: 195 Joined: Feb. 2001 Posted: Mar. 11 2002, 10:48 EN? It's been so long since I wrote this ... After OTO2 and before M ... The only thing I can think of here is the reworking of Quatrième Rendez-vous (Rendez-vous 98). Ah! Electronic Night (live album - not heard it myself), contains the 1998 World Cup reworking of RV4, and a few other things. --XP http://www.chirho.i12.com/ http://pub97.ezboard.com/bchirho -------------- <P>Mr. ChiRho Email to chirho@mine.nu.almost (guess what drops) Visit ChiRho Network Central [URL=http://www.chirho.i12.com/]http://www.chirho.mine.nu/[/URL] Check the forums (topic suggestions still welcome[URL=http://forum.chirho.mine.nu/]http://forum.chirho.mine.nu/[/URL] Back to top
