Moby's track 'God moving over the face of the waters' sounds quite Mike-ish as do a few others. As for them working together, an interesting idea but it seems Mike doesn't collaborate often if at all these days, hence his use of virtual vocalists. How about a virtual Moby?   Ho Ho I know we're way off topic here but since we've got everyone's attention I would have to recommend an album called Destroy Rock and Roll by a guy called Mylo. For those here who like their ambient/eletronica its quite superb. He's a 24 year old from a village called Portree on the Isle of Skye and he made the entire album in his bedroom on a Mac ibook using samples and software he nabbed off the internet. Its become hugely popular both here and in America and Mylo is or was supporting Moby on the US leg of his current tour. I think everyone should check out the album because it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Mike's new album sounded something similar in style, no bad thing by the way if he's got the tunes to match.

Mylo...he did appeared on an electronica festival here last month,he was fab! His debut album is so lovely,and I'm always listening to it. In My Arms,with a melody based on the 80's classic Bette Davis' Eyes from Kim Carnes...simply perfect. -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Steve_SK Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: May 2005 Posted: May 25 2005, 10:31 What about title "Daynight"? Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: May 25 2005, 11:07 Daynight would be especially apt for an album featuring acapella tracks with heavy instrumental accompaniment, and also accoustic electric instruments. And, to top it all off, Mike Oldfield playing punk rock. -------------- "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

Anne in the Rain Group: Members Posts: 33 Joined: July 2004 Posted: May 25 2005, 12:47 Quicksilver is Plumbum in Latin. If Mike wants the title to be Mercury-related, what about Plum Boom? I can imagine the cover photo: Mike sitting under a plum tree, holding a mercury thermometer Back to top

cjm Group: Members Posts: 11 Joined: April 2002 Posted: May 25 2005, 13:15 In doing some web wandering, I came across this item, which may or may not have some new information in it: Aquarius Records website news Could someone with the appropriate language skills summarize what is being said here?  Thanks for any help you can provide.

Anne in the Rain Group: Members Posts: 33 Joined: July 2004 Posted: May 25 2005, 13:57 My Croatian is worse than I thought... I don't understand everything but I'm afraid there is nothing new. It's about how happy Mercury Records are to announce that Mike Oldfield has signed a contract with them, how happy Mike is to be with Mercury Records and how technologies have developed over the years. Mike says he didn't think he would ever sign a contract with a major record label like Universal when he was a teenager and that he hopes the new album will be very successful. Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: May 25 2005, 14:13 "Plum Boom"... Not bad! The first track of CD2 could be called "Plum Boom Tschak", and would feature samples of the vocaloid saying "Plum... Boom Tschak! Plum... Boom Tschak!" rhythmically. Good stuff. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

Sentinel101 Group: Members Posts: 44 Joined: Mar. 2000 Posted: May 25 2005, 14:18 Yeah, this will be a cool autumn: - Mike's new album - Kate Bush's new one is rumoured to be released in September - Roger Waters finally releases his long awaited opera (Christmas) - Colin 'Black' Vearncombe's new album in autumn This is like a tsunami of great music after an awful long period of mostly filler music. Let's get back to passionately played notes ! But please guys and girls, spread your future works a little bit over the decade. Requirements for the title: one word, technical, basic. Here my proposals: Oldfieldium (cover would be a periodic table with an additional element) Copperfield (dumb combination of Copper and Oldfield) Sulphur (well, sounds good) Argonaut (sounds better) Bye, Michael Back to top

Anne in the Rain Group: Members Posts: 33 Joined: July 2004 Posted: May 25 2005, 15:29 One more thing from the Aquarius Records website: Mike's whole back catalogue from the Virgin era should be transfered to Mercury in 2008! I wasn't sure about this but then I found it at oldfield.de. Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: May 25 2005, 15:52 Quote (Anne in the Rain @ May 25 2005, 15:29) Mike's whole back catalogue from the Virgin era should be transfered to Mercury in 2008! This should be counted as major news. I hope they transfer the Warners eras as well. Warner did such a terrible job of promoting and making available all but one of Mike's albums with them: it is hard to imagine that Mercury could do anywhere near as bad. -------------- "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
