larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1767 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Sep. 07 2007, 11:33 Nice! The clip "On My Heart" (with the vocals) was really, really good. Easily the best thing I've heard from Mike in 20 years time (no exaggeration!). Overall it sounds like a romantic album, which is nice. Looking forward to hearing the whole thing. At least the rumours about a "TB IV" can now be put to rest! The clips don't sound a lot like Tubular Bells. My only complaint is the last clip, which reminds me of Wind Chimes pt 1 (no pleasant memories!). -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Sep. 07 2007, 11:53 Ever since getting that brief taste from the ClassicFM podcast, I'd been eagerly waiting for more bits and pieces, so this is exactly what I needed to take the edge off my hunger. Thanks! I intend to indulge in some serious wallowing in it tonight. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top

Mix Group: Members Posts: 123 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Sep. 07 2007, 12:00 Excellent! My expectations are much higher again. "On My Heart" sounded beautiful, as far as I can tell from that short clip, and I personally really liked the "Musica Universalis"-section. I have no bad memories from Wind Chimes Pt.1, besides this sounds like building into a nice power climax for this album. Back to top

And I can hear clearly that Mike's musical ID is on those small pieces! -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

I really like the tubular "twist" on the first one...the rest is not at all like Tubular Bells imho.     I think I'm going to love this. -------------- "...I've never seen a connection between music and politics.

I had the thought that I might like to hear the album all as new when it's released...it's tempting of course... -------------- I'd rather be on Dragonback Back to top

jeremyroberts Group: Members Posts: 139 Joined: June 2005 Posted: Sep. 07 2007, 17:19 Very promising! A bit like Tony Banks' orchestral album but more adventurous and with Mike's distinctive musical style. Back to top

mtomasky Group: Members Posts: 13 Joined: Jan. 2006 Posted: Sep. 07 2007, 20:17 IMHO it's a good come back from Mike It couldn't be any worse than L&S, so I'm waiting for this one. To tell the truth, if I heard it on the radio, I'd have no idea it's Oldfield... and after L&S it's a good thing. Cheers! -------------- I have nothing to say, but I say it out loud! Back to top

They are links given to us directly by Universal; they appear to be hosted on an independent file delivery server, so unfortunately there's no exciting goody-packed website that you can visit.
