tubularbills Group: Members Posts: 528 Joined: Aug. 2000 Posted: Feb. 23 2001, 22:18 Consider this: Do album names somewhat intice you? Do you think the name could possibly "make" an album? Have you ever judged an album, based on its name? (even if you had no clue what it sounded like). Would you still be interested if the following albums were named slightly different... Cylinder Bells Hergest Cliff The Symphonic Cylinder Bells Ommadusk Squared (Boxed) Thought Provoking (Incantations) Backstage (Exposed) Titanium (Platinum) QE666 Five Miles Up I Got Problems (Crisis) The Murdering Fields I Found it! (Discovery) Mike Oldfield In A Box (the complete mike oldfield) Penninsulas Earthquake CrazyFantasicoWonderland(Amarok) Heaven's Closed Cylinder Bells II Seasons (Elements) The Songs of Distant Mars Sailor XXV- You Need Mike Oldfield (the essential Mike oldfield) Cylinder Bells III Banjos (Guitars) The Centurian Bell -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect.

TimHighfield Group: Members Posts: 543 Joined: Oct. 2000 Posted: Feb. 24 2001, 02:49 The Centurian Bell is at least a little more original than The Millennium Bell (or at least different considering the over-usage of the m-word at the time). If we assume Mike has the naming qualities of Leonard da Quirm, then what happened to: Long Thin Metallic Tube sounds-like-a-Bell-like Thingys 01? Long Thin Metallic Tube sounds-like-a-Bell-like Thingys 10? Long Thin Metallic Tube sounds-like-a-Bell-like Thingys 11? Orchestral Long Thin Metallic Tube Bell-like Thingys? Long Thin Metallic Tube sounds-like-a-Bell-like Thingy for signifying a 1000-year period of time? I am the fool and I'm laughing? Bits of land surrounded by the sea? A hill in Herefordshire where you can fly gliders? A selection of Irish-sounding songs with me on the cover without a shirt near Ibiza prepating for a mystical voyage of some sort? Lots of slightly sampled guitars? A heavy metal that doesn't really do a lot of reacting? A very large ship named after some old dear who happens to be Sovereign? et cetera et cetera -Tim- Who wants to know who's responsible for the name Sonic Virtual Reality Back to top

cp Group: Members Posts: 46 Joined: Feb. 2001 Posted: Feb. 25 2001, 06:23 Some more silly names: Curvy Bits Of Metal (TB) Sailor's Revenge: The Pornhipe Is Back (Blue Peter) Potassium (Platinum) Incan Yellow (TB2-Mayan Gold) Scout (TB2-Sentinel) Amastone (Amarok) I like the sound of The Centurion Bell - but isn't centurion a rank in the Roman army?

Thea Cochrane Group: Musicians Posts: 445 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 10 2001, 03:58 Just so everyone knows, I really like the TB sequels, I was just being "humourous". Maybe TB3 and TMB could have been called something else, but musically I like them. Back to top

TimHighfield Group: Members Posts: 543 Joined: Oct. 2000 Posted: May 21 2001, 07:05 What size Bounty can you get for £1? Not sure whether the exchange rate affects the size. 40g? 75g? Also, does it have to be a Bounty? I'm sure there's some pretty good Virgin choc...aaarrrghhh. -Tim- Back to top

cp Group: Members Posts: 46 Joined: Feb. 2001 Posted: May 21 2001, 10:02 What sized Bounty can you get for 1 bob? Since the Australian Dollar doesn't so much fall as plummet, 1 GBP ==> about $2.50 Aus (from memory); I'd imagine that you could get close to 200 grams for that much Unless, of course, you have to pay postage and handling on that, in which case you could buy roughly -1 (that's MINUS ONE) kg ... What did this have to do with Mike Oldfield again? Back to top
