Don't you know that Mike Oldfield is famous jazzman? Haven't you heard Tubular Jazz, Herr Jazz Ridge, Ommajazz or Injazztations? Back to top

Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1866 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 12 2011, 17:12 They probably calculated that it will sell more being #4 in boring Jazz than, I don't know, #404 where nobody would find it, behind several editions of Pink Floyd releases gathered together in Progressive.

Anyway personally I'm looking forward to this release.  Anyone else? Back to top

hairy old hippy Group: Members Posts: 304 Joined: July 2005 Posted: July 13 2011, 08:09 Yes I'm looking forward it. Remastered Incantations with some proper previously un-released music, what's not to look forward to?! Remixes, 5.1 and the like are not standard practice, to be totally fair we've been spoilt so far. When I was growing up I was always told "you get what you're given!", I don't think you can say anything fairer than that. -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres. Andrew Taylor's Mohribold album has proved very popular with fans of symphonic-rock, prog-rock, psych-folk and indeed Oldfield's classic albums! www.andrewtaylor.bandcamp.com Back to top

DID SOMEONE SLIP ME A PILL?. Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother" is a bit like that - a journey through a cow   And it's odd how James Joyce keeps occurring to me lately, considering I haven't read him in years, but the "Oxen of the Sun" chapter in Ulysses is a kind of gestation of literary styles, mirroring the birth event that the characters are awaiting.

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 15 2011, 04:51 Quote (christopher @ July 11 2011, 03:47) Has anyone else noticed that "Piano Improvisations" is very similar to "First Steps" basic piano riff, on L&S? Hmmm, not really. Maybe they are the same chords? What I've noticed on the "Diana" track is the typical sound of the "sucking" strings on the ARP String Ensemble. I've owned this synthesizer in 2002, and there's a setting in which it gives this "sucking string" sound when you hit another key or chord. But I didn't like it and I just used the release function, and you'd get this nice reverb sound. And it may be my imagination, but does "Guilty" sound slowed down? Or maybe my record player had the wrong configuration all this time!     -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

But it really reminds me when I slowed the recording from 7 1/2 to 3 3⁄4 ips on my tape.   Back to top

zinc Group: Members Posts: 99 Joined: Sep. 2000 Posted: July 19 2011, 06:29 I have heard all the extracts from the remixes on Disc 2 and  for sure Northumbrian, Piano Improvisation and Diana are new pieces. I especially like Northumbrian which is obviously a remix of an out take with Paddy Maloney so really looking forward to hearing  the whole thing. Has anyone seen the artwork other than the front cover yet? Back to top

His contribution never made the original release only seeing the light of day on the Ommadawn Lost version on the 2010 Ommadawn reissue. Back to top

I for one don't know if Paddy is involved at all in the track, especially when what you hear in the sample sounds like a synth rather than a real bagpipe. Anyway if Paddy is later in the track that'll be great Back to top
