I wonder why? Hopefully it's not down to lack of care again. Maybe we should email the distributor and ask and they might fix it before release if it's an oversight. Back to top

stpaul Group: Members Posts: 230 Joined: Feb. 2005 Posted: June 28 2012, 15:54 All-clear: Sive is included You can listen to the re-releases on jpc.de QE2 Platinum 2 big surprises: The excerpts from North Star 2012 and Platinum Live Studio Session are terrific. Siva is quite strange cous since he sings along to the original song. The voice is very similar to the chorus of Surfing. But he hasn't sacked maggie's voice :-) Maybe he was influenced by this: Shivam Anugata Once there was a time (jungle gardenia) Back to top

SimonUK Group: Members Posts: 84 Joined: June 2006 Posted: June 28 2012, 19:42 Glad to hear it Highlander! Thanks for posting that stpaul. The live clips sound amazing quality & William Tell is a treat! He only played it a handful of times as far as I know, interesting to hear it goes into the end of Punkadiddle. Shiva sounds a bit odd but may be better for hearing the whole song. Studio session sounds great. Cant wait for them to arrive!   -------------- "I want something good to die for, to make it beautiful to live" (Josh Homme, from Queens Of The Stone Age - 'Go With The Flow'). Back to top

I could buy this Deluxe Edition just for this one track! BTW the concerts have a good quality and i think it was good idea to fill a second disc on both releases with a live show - can't wait for it to listen to!!! Can't wait for Deluxe Editions!!!

MikeArnold Group: Members Posts: 26 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: June 29 2012, 02:57 I will intend to buy both deluxe editions, but mainly for the live material.   This was a golden era for Mike on the live circuit, which I unfortunately missed at the time, so it will be good to get a pristine CD version. As for the disc 1's of both Platinum and QE2, there isn't really much there that the average Oldfield fan does not already have.  A bit unimaginative really, and disappointing that "Sally" is not included in some incarnation or another, and similarly it was also a bit disappointing that the "Space Movie" version of Part 4 of Incantations was missed off of the Incantations deluxe edition. But, that's life.  And, besides, those live cuts will more than satisfy my appetite. I'm now salivating for the eventual release of a Five Miles Out deluxe edition, which will hopefully also include a nice wedge of live material!! Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1760 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: June 29 2012, 03:22 "Shiva" sounds like "Sheba" with some sort of early guide vocal from Mike included in the mix. I expected a 2012 modernized crap version of the song, so I'm positively surprised. The Platinum studio session sounds fantastic. Shows he was trying out all kinds of stuff in the studio for that album. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Howere QE2 disc two seems like Montreaux to me (mostly). Ad that one I've already god on DVD and also converted to various audio only formats. Back to top

If Mike added those vocals in 2012 to "improve" the song then it is by far the worst piece of music I have ever heard from him.   Sounds like someone trying to sing karaoke to his favorite record without waking up the neighbours. Not that it bothers me. There are plenty of goodies on both those discs.   -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

alejandra Group: Members Posts: 34 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: June 29 2012, 08:11 The little I hear of Shiva is simply terrible. Glued-on vocals, very badly sung and with lyrics which are cod-spiritual, filled with the worst imaginable cliches (the journey to freedom...the right path...WHO ARE WE?...as the days grow old and the sun goes down...oh, please!...pomposity and grandiloquence ill-fitting such a simple beautiful song as Sheba.

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: June 29 2012, 12:59 Am I right in thinking Mike doesn't have the masters to these recording so therefore can't remix them? The North Star remix sounds to me like he's taken samples from Phillip Glass's original choral version and over dubbed his own. Sounds good whatever he's done. Back to top

Yes, but Polka was recorded during the Concert 80 tour, pobably in Munich. To all thinking " I have the Montreux DVD and don't need another 1981 concert recording" : The spring tour of 1981 is a little bit different to the 2nd part of the tour. The Battlefield Band's players  (support act) joint the Mike Oldfield Group on Ommadawn, QE2 and Portsmouth with fiddle and bagpipes. Back to top
