tsar.nathan Group: Members Posts: 28 Joined: April 2010 Posted: April 22 2010, 06:40 Sorry if I shouldn't have started a new post, but I just wanted to introduce myself I'm a fairly new Mike Oldfield fan; I got hooked on tubular bells after finding a copy about 3 years ago. A friend lent me Ommadawn and Hergest Ridge which drew me further in, and I then started buying my own (you can see my slowly growing collection at the link in my sig). Anyway, I've been lurking a bit recently so I thought I'd join up Thanks! Nathan -------------- http://www.discogs.com/collection?user=tsar.nathan Back to top

Nightspore Knows this You rang, Milamber? Yes, welcome aboard, tsar nathan. None of us is even remotely normal here! And buy Amarok next, followed by Tubular Bells II, and Islands and Tr3s Lunas and... There are just two things to remember: don't mention a certain Australian children's band to Caveman, and Ugo has a very fetching pet moggy called Vicki.   Back to top

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: April 22 2010, 11:46 Yeah probably not the most normal time after what's been happening the last couple of days. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH. Back to top

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe...   Yes, as my never-changed-sig-from-the-very-first-day-I-subscribed-here says,  Amarok was a life-changing record for me, and I'd certanly advice an Oldfieldian novice like you to get it. [By the way, welcome to the nuthouse... hope you'll have some fun here! ] Be careful, tho', because, as Milamber above puts it, you either love it passionately after the very first listen, or you'll hate it for the rest of your life. There's no way it can "grow on you", at least IMHO. By the way, @ Caveman: is that a quote? As you may have realized, I'm very fond of quotes, so, if it is, please "quote" your reference. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: April 23 2010, 02:55 I just meant that of all the people on here no-one is more passionate about Amarok than you.Your sig says it all my friend. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH. Back to top
