Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Sep. 18 2002, 17:38 Nah, I have them both. But seriously: while we are all connected to this great big monster called Internet  , there's really not much sense (IMHO) to talk about rare tracks, of any artist. Some mp3 search engines like WinMX and Imesh can really find the unfindable. Try 'em if you don't believe me. Anyway, the hardest Mike track for me to find (in its full version) was a de-noised version of Mike Oldfield's Single. Until I met one wise guy on the #mike_oldfield IRC channel who sent it to me. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

I guess the rarest track is the one I dunno about its existence all, 'cause all other stuff is avaiable somehow. as you mentioned WinMX & others, I find 'em interesting, 'cause I  get to know other artists which really did tunes that are supposed to be from Mike (or any other artist) and called "ultra rare". in this way I "(re-)discovered" Delerium, Dead Can Dance, Clan Of Xymox, Zemfira......just to name a few. ciaooo, dkay -------------- Bootlegs should be shared not sold.

Out of unreleased, there's some that has leaked out - Tubular Bells II demos spring to mind - but obviously a wealth of music that virtually no-one has heard (Excalibur, which Mike played to Dark Star during the recording sessions for The Millennium Bell is a good example). I guess the music in the Reflections documentary could count as 'released', but the video costs about £62 - so I guess not too many have a copy! Lots of rare stuff really, but then we don't know where Mike has used his past music to create new tracks - I for one wouldn't be surprised if some outtakes of TB3 have found their way into the Tres Lunas soundtrack... -------------- Hergest Ridge 165 - Ommadawn 038 - Incantations 243 Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1351 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Sep. 26 2002, 09:54 I think the rarest track would be the theme tune Mike made for the BBC science programm "Tomorrow's World",has anyone heard it?,no what it's called?. Back to top

Man In The Rain Group: Members Posts: 405 Joined: April 2002 Posted: Nov. 24 2002, 10:17 About Tomorrow's World, Mike composed his own theme for the programme in the mid-90s based on Let There Be Light and some other pieces from The Songs Of Distant Earth. Apparently, only 2 of the show's 4 producers wanted to use the track, so it never became the official theme. Having heard some of the music that IS used for the theme tunes, they made the wrong decision!!! Oliver -------------- Hergest Ridge 165 - Ommadawn 038 - Incantations 243 Back to top
