Isn't this what Gorillaz do? AFAIK when they play live they have a screen on stage, onto which their cartoon alter-egos are projected, and they perform hidden behind it. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: May 25 2005, 16:31 It would be superb news for fans if all of Mike's releases came under one ownership. We might actually get some half decent releases aimed our way in terms of rarities collections etc. I do hope this new album has got some good solid tunes on it, Mercury promote it like buggery and Mike tours. I'd love to see Mike back on form again and reccognized for it, here's hoping. Back to top

Ive got this album, it is a fantastic album   -------------- Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells Back to top

But Oldfieldium might be better title for a compilation album. There should be a sign or note besides Terbium though. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: May 25 2005, 23:36 Just to correct you Anne in the Rain - Plum Bum is the latin for Lead, not mercury! Merury in latin is 'hydragyrum' = 'liquid silver." It's chemical symbol is Hg which is derived from the latin. "Hydragyrum" is quite an interesting name for an album don't you think?   -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

Anne in the Rain Group: Members Posts: 33 Joined: July 2004 Posted: May 26 2005, 04:34 How could I forget! Of course, you are right. Chemistry has never been my favourite subject but I thought I knew these elemental things. Back to top

Regardless, I am one of those who thinks that "Plum Bum" is not a very good album title, and would go over like a lead balloon (heh), as it refers to either a body part, or a lazy person laying in the gutter. -------------- "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

Horsey Group: Members Posts: 2 Joined: May 2005 Posted: May 27 2005, 03:15 Fantastic news. Frankly, I thought Mike's "Tres Lunas" chillout album was a really important turning point. It returned Mike to his roots...., i.e. making music for the love of it! So, it will be really interesting to see what we are in for with Mikey's new double -album expected in September. I think we are in for something special. Incantations..ish?   ooh, I hope so! Anyway, not so sure about "quicksilver". Sounds a bit quirky. Hey Mike, how about "frontiers", or something that sounds more progressive and revolutionary.... which is how your albums come across to me anyway.. always something a little bit different... and seething with new ideas. Good luck with the new release Mike!   Back to top

Plumbum means "liquid silver" in latin and it's the origin of lead symbol on the periodic table.Saw this on webelements.com .

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: May 27 2005, 09:05 UGO Would love to see the Gorillaz perform, I'm sure it would be money well spent. And my fave suggestion for an album title so far is HYDRAGYRUM but how is it pronounced? And isn't a HYDRA a 9 headed monster? -------------- I hate getting up early.

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: May 27 2005, 11:51 Thanks for correcting me Tati   Yes, Tubular Belle, I also thing Hydra would be a cool name for the album based on the latin for Mercury. -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

sohfar Group: Members Posts: 47 Joined: May 2004 Posted: May 27 2005, 20:14 I think this piece should be PROMOTED like no other!...  All of Mikes works have been promoted like " Oh another piece by Mike Oldfield who Recorded Tubular Bells back in 1970 or somethin" "Also known as the theme from the exorcist. Who the hell remembers that???? When there 12 - 16 - 17 - 25 - 30... No one!  Well Mike, come on Kick Ass with the Promo on this one and your works will be bought around the world alll over again and it is ONLY what YOU deserve. Jesus Mike is probably the best composer of our time and that is the promotion he recieves, what the hell is going on?????? A name for the album... Encephelon It means the brain and maybe we could add 5656 for 'Good Measure'.....   1&2&3&4&5&&&&  lol Encephelon 5656     Which brings us all back to TSODE Album cover a pastoral landscape similar to Hergest with maybe a red Kite flying in the distance.  (Being shot down by the jet no one can fly.... lol) What a brain What a Heart & a Soul thankyou Mike Had a few tonight lol... Also I think he should talk to Syd Barrett for his next album & have some REAl vocal on there (That would be a REAL Bloody DIAMOND) And... maybe another warning... 'WARNING you are listening to SYD,  Yes!  he's not bad actualy'     lol   lol   lol [I][B][I] -------------- HEALTH WARNING This record could be hazardous to the health of cloth-eared nincompoops.

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1351 Joined: April 2001 Posted: May 28 2005, 03:37 Yes, i agree, this album does need some good promotion,and seeing as it's the first release for a new label, then i would expect that Mercury would want to make a big deal of the fact, that they have Mike Oldfield on there books,taking Mark Knoplfer's last release as an example,which was September 2004,after the album came out,Mark went on a promo tour of Europe,to various radio and TV studios,even going back to Shangr-La studios where he made the album,to cut some live tracks,plus Mercury made him a good website for the album,with tour dates,and dowloads,and a video. As for Syd Barrett,lol,i don't think Mike and Syd have anything in common,and Syd does'nt really talk to anyone these days that is not a member of his family. Back to top
