Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Jan. 25 2001, 19:51 This is hardly relevant really...which is why I'm posting it I spotted an advert on TV (can't remember the channel...one of the numerous trashy digital channels that my friend gets) for one of those silly compilation albums the other day - this one happened to be 'Hits of the 80s' or a similar title. Anyway, looking at the list of names that scrolled across the screen (as they do - usually quickly so that you don't notice that there is actually only one act you've even heard of and none who have released a decent song). What suprised me is when the name 'Mike Oldfield' scrolled across...well, it caught my eye anyway...Then a few seconds later, on screen appear the faces of Mike and Maggie Reilly, as featured in the 'Moonlight Shadow' video. Hardly suprising really - that song gets onto all sorts of compilations...just spotting Mike and Maggie like that was a small suprise Back to top

The funny thing is that they only show the 1st minute, and in the 1st minute we never see Mike "totally"...playing his bass, while we see Mick Taylor, and all the other guys, for someone thatt doesnt know Mike and see that excerpt of the vid clip for the 1st, will think Mick Taylor is Mike Oldfield -------------- "Thou Art In Heaven" :D Back to top

Anyway, Maggie is still around and is still singing and releasing albums as a solo artist. Some details about what she did in the years after she finished working with Mike can be found on the Crises page of the tubular.net discography. Back to top

Mike is refered to as Quote the master of spheric synthesizer sounds and energetic guitar tunes How does this sound? Does anyone know what 'Spheric' means? -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: May 28 2002, 06:06 Just noticed another quote from the site. Mike is described as: Quote world famous multi-instrumentalist, hyper-perfectionist and soundmaster -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: May 28 2002, 19:13 Yes, it seems the site re-appeared after a few months. With spheric, they might be shortening atmospheric in order to make a clever little alliteration. Back to top
