(p.s if anyone saw the FULL PAGE advert for the album on the first few pages in of november's 'record collector' -talk about after the event- it states that Mike will also PRODUCE the winners track!  is this true, or bad advertising????

There was the Music VR diamond ring competition, the Maestro naming competition, the mikeoldfield.com 1,000,000th visitor competition...he seems to announce quite a few competitions, but not very many winners. So, the lack of a deadline makes me feel yet more cynical about this - I'd say there's no deadline because nobody has any intention of actually judging the thing, but it would be quite nice to be proven wrong.

Perhaps this is another example of why there is a lack of interest in recent M.O albums- not just through lack of promotion from his label, but equally his lack of interest in the fans. I mean, when was the last time he toured? I have this feeling that TB3 was the last big commercial sucess we will ever see from M.O and at the end of the Horseguard's parade DVD, where the fans shout 'we want more' and the credits roll, there is a dediction: FOR MIKE OLDFIELD... let's hope that this dedication to the man himself does not indicate his final curtain call!!!!!

Last time I checked the Virgin online music system, they had an impressive catalog of both his Virgin and Warners work. They did not have "Light and Shade". In contrast, the new ones by Enya and Kate Bush appeared right away. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top
