Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Mar. 19 2008, 09:45 A box set of DVDs of Tony Palmer's documentary series on the history of popular music, All You Need Is Love, is now available to buy from allyouneedislovedvd.com. Episode 17 will be of particular interest to fans of Mike Oldfield, as it contains the well known 'making of Ommadawn' feature. Dank je wel, Blue Dolphin Back to top

The Mike Oldfield item is of course a must see for every fan, because you can see his house at Hergest Ridge and his studio. Of course the whole atmosphere of the 70's that can be smelled is wonderful. I now even saw (with this amazing quality) what kind of mixer Mike used on Ommadawn. It's a Neve!   -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

The box in which it came said it had shipped from Sweden. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Most of us have probably seen it over the internet now bit still, now we'll have decent quality -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres. Andrew Taylor's Mohribold album has proved very popular with fans of symphonic-rock, prog-rock, psych-folk and indeed Oldfield's classic albums! www.andrewtaylor.bandcamp.com Back to top
