raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Sep. 29 2002, 22:25 I love the song Heaven's Open, it is an amazing song full of happyness and power. I first heard it on the Elements disk, and if you had told me it was Mike singing I would not have believed you. OK, I have heard better, and his voice is only suited to certain songs (no soft ballads) but he is pretty good considering that he needed singing lessons before doing the album. My other favourite vocal is on No Dream, it's such an awesome song as well. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: June 09 2003, 08:22 I like the title track a lot.It's amzaing to feel the power of Michael´s vocals while singing.Every time I hear it brings me a lot of good feelings about it. I've got a video where Michael appears miming Heaven's Open on a german TV show(available on some Oldfield's fans FTP servers) and he did a great job while singing it.And also on the clip for the song. I do like also Make Make,especially the chorus.When Michael's voice goes down a little bit...sheesh! -------------- "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

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Aug. 25 2003, 10:27 Make Make, I guess. He sounds very powerful and angsty. In fact, I was surprised when I listened to this record. Judging by the comments it generally gets, I was expecting something far worse. Mike is a better singer than many others I know, and the songs are all good. -------------- 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.

Vinz Group: Members Posts: 253 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Dec. 09 2003, 04:36 IMHO, Heaven's Open is far above the others, even if Make Make, No Dream and Mr Shame are quite good too   -------------- Rejoignez la Tubular Mailing List francophone ! http://www.tubular.free.fr/tubular.php Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Dec. 09 2003, 09:10 I've been listening to these songs recently and realised that No Dream comes real close. I like it when he twists and bends and reshapes his voice through the song. Gimme this instead of that Eddie Vedder any time of the year. -------------- 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.

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Jan. 15 2005, 08:50 I agree. I just now voted "No Dream" and then read your description. I think it is the one he sounds "best as a vocalist" on. -------------- "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

alex Group: Members Posts: 68 Joined: July 2000 Posted: Feb. 18 2005, 12:38 Heaven's Open was the first album of Mike's I had. When I listened to it I found all quite strange at the beginning, yet I was amazed with No Dream and I used to listen to it time and time again. I could not stop until I really had to do something important (read: until I really had to study for another exam). I still love the song and the vocals are perfect. Back to top

mink stoles Group: Members Posts: 88 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Sep. 23 2005, 15:37 I love the track heavens open, it always puts a smile on my face.  im a big fan of the slide esp. on a distorted guitar.  i dont think the other songs are very good however, music from the balcony has its moments but overall it is just too cheesy for words. -------------- So if you you feel a little glum, To Hergest Ridge you should come.

Tubularman Group: Awaiting Authorisation Posts: 2304 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Dec. 08 2005, 15:15 No dream of course. This song gives me the same creeps like Surfing do. The guitar is sooo goood! And about mike vocals; yes i like it, he got his own voice. On No dream his voice is very dramatic and thats what i love best.

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Dec. 08 2005, 16:04 I would have to listen to it again to choose, but I have always liked Heavens Open, and I really like Mikes voice, esp when he sings those power vocals, but he has a really bad lisp in that song, does anyone hear it in any of the other songs? I notice it more when I watch the film clip because his mouth contorts so much but it is very noticeable. And I loved his hair like that, so handsome, oooh. -------------- I hate getting up early.
