sarujuu Group: Members Posts: 44 Joined: May 2005 Posted: Aug. 09 2005, 08:10 PUBLIC RADIO Polen hat gestern in einer Radiosendung 4 Werke gespielt, die vom neuen Mike Oldfield Album sein könnten sollen. Donnerstag um Mitternacht könnten die Stücke nochmal gespielt werden. http://www.radio.com.pl/st/program3.asx (Livestream von Polskie Radio SA http://www.radio.com.pl) Dawid Niemiec: ".....It isn\'t a fan track - these tracks were played on PUBLIC RADIO, and it couldn\'t make such mistake. I think that Universal gave a small demo from new album [4 tracks from 2CD album are not so much...] to Mr. Kaczkowski, who is a host of this audition, which presents track from forthcoming albums of different musicians - as you see, yesterday was also pre-premiere Opeth ...." Update: (Antwort auf eine Email mit der Bitte bei Mr. K. nachzuhaken:) "...I'll do what I can - I'll send a mail to Mr. Kaczkowski, and we'll see what he'll say how he get this promo's Well... it seems to be a World Premiere Aaaa! And next audition of 'Minimax' is on Thursday at midnight! (on Polish Radio 3 of course)..." Back to top

bee Group: Members Posts: 1227 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: Aug. 09 2005, 18:12 I think I'm going to be a bit of a spoil sport now. I apologise for my grumpiness....Why is everyone trying to hear as much as they can of the new album when it's actual release date is still about 6 weeks away? It's like opening your Christmas presents before the big day. I am desperate for 'news' on the album but the anticipation is half the fun and I shall so enjoy the whole experience of collecting my pre-ordered CD and then coming home and listening to it. Special moment. I think it's marvelous that it is possible to find music in the way you have but I am old fashioned I suppose. I like time and it's progression, I'm getting a bit cheesed off with everything happening before it's even happened, do you know what I mean? Whatever happened to patience? And why was it heard in Poland? Why not Spain where, if I remember correctly, Mike is very popular? I'm really looking forward to the new album's arrival and hope I manage to hear or read any  interviews he may do in the run up to it. -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Aug. 10 2005, 05:02 I know what you mean, bee. But as it turns out I'm really pleased to have had these little 'tasters' - the new piece is so very beautiful - as though Mike had given a little wave and said hey - I'm still here, and still inspired, still seeing through into the magical nooks and crannies of the world. I now feel reassured that it's very likely that I'll love the new album - but I'm very content to wait, and always was. Back to top

theweightless Group: Members Posts: 604 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Aug. 10 2005, 08:37 didn't we have samples of tres lunas long before its release, i liked that very much, to hear bits of something new, even is it's only 30 seconds or less -------------- ASMK Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Aug. 10 2005, 10:08 These 2 tracks have made me decide that I want this album! I find some similar TSODE emotions here and I want more! I want to hear the darker stuff, too! I'm very interested!  It sounds like he put more work into this than into Tr3s Lunas which is probably correct as TL was a soundtrack for a game and not a standalone album. Which is why this sounds like it'll be full and excellent! -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Aug. 10 2005, 16:38 The problem as i remember it with the TresLunas website promotion thingy was that everybody here ranted and raved about how good the little 45 second snippets were and then when everybody heard the final album the general opinion was less than enthusiastic. It'll be exactly the same with this new album if its not up to scratch. Also TresLunas was slowly track by track leaked onto the internet  so most fans actually got their hands on the CD long after, much long after in some cases, they'd heard the album in its entirety. I fully expect the same thing to happen this time around and I fully expect the same heated debate of 'thou shalt not download' here as last time. Bee is right in that it does ruin your first time full enjoyment of the album if you've heard it bit by bit over the internet but I agree with Maria that its just to much of a temptation to want to hear the music as and when it appears online. As long as you buy the finished CD or pay for the mp3's a la itunes then you're not doing anything wrong and no one can tell you otherwise. It has to be said though that I'm less enthusiastic about this album today than I was last night. It sounds increasingly like there is more and more music that isn't going to be new to us so the strength or weakness of the album to me will fall on the new stuff. Out of those 2 new tracks one is indeed quite pretty but Mike does seem to be resting heavily again on his old formula of putting down a synthy backing beat add a twinkly piano tune and throw in a bit of guitar to pad things out. It does seem a bit like meat and two veg intrumental music but I'm not going to pass anymore judgement untill I've heard more of the album. Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1351 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Aug. 10 2005, 16:46 For me the joy is in hearing something that is complete and new by Mike Oldfield, i remember even taking the whole day of work when Voyager was released, so, i could take it home and enjoy it, there is nothing like hearing new track after new track for the first time, instead of little snippets here and there from the internet.We don't get a new album to often, so, why spoil it.

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: Aug. 12 2005, 01:15 The first track copied off Polish radio is "Our Father" (as these two words are said all the way through) - very significant that it's on Polish radio as this track, according to Mike is all about the life of the late Pope John Paul (who was Polish). I get irritated by the repetitive and unchanging computerized drum beat all the way through but love the guitar riffs and basic melodies in this piece. Track two is interesting to my ears! Love it! I can't wait to hear the full album and these tracks in full quality. Thanks Mike :-) HAPPY! -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

A computer based only studio is ok for an amateur musician on a budget, not a musician like Oldfield Bye!. Back to top

There is a preset called Angelique on the Roland Fantom Xa...
