Hi, I am an old fan since Earth Moving in 88!

Following rare TV adverts I asked my mom to buy me the tape (yes, there were still tapes by this era…) and I became haunted by Holy, Earth Moving and Innocent. My older sister, remembering that she had a tape of Tubular Bells, gave it to me, and her husband made a copy of his "Crises" LP. Since then, I began to collect all the albums (I still miss Shine, Pictures in the Dark ant the others singles…) Then, while listening to Discovery, the opening mandolin of "To France" rung a (tubular) bell: it was the theme tune for a boring program about market prices on French TV; and also, I saw the video on TV at my uncle's. I never saw it again, but I remember quite well Maggie Reilly singing back to a castle, surrounded by torches, and Mike playing guitar next to her. Couldn't find the video anywhere since then. It's not even in The Wind Chimes, or in Elements!

"The To France video" is on the "New Elements DVD" that was released at the end of last year.  :)  :)

Um, was there a re-release of Elements with the video for To France? My version has a badly badly filmed TV appearance...

There is a tractor of dreams. And a violin on 'Hostage'.
