Probably just as well, in case Joe Biden ordered it shot down   Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Mar. 31 2023, 10:29 Firstly, it's great that we will have 8 minutes of new Mike Oldfield music, which sounds really intriguing. It's interesting that Mike apparently retired from recording in 2018 nothing was officially announced, and why did nothing else happen after he delivered this TB4 intro? Is this really the last thing Mike is going to record? I find it strange that, music has been his everything for his whole life, can he just stop? If it is true, then I find that very sad, maybe he can just carry on with the deluxe album releases. Back to top

Cavalier (Lost Version) Group: Members Posts: 598 Joined: Nov. 2010 Posted: Mar. 31 2023, 11:25 The official email states as much: The 50th anniversary edition includes the last-ever recording from Mike heard for the first time; the stunning 8-minute track “Tubular Bells 4 Intro” Perhaps there will be elaboration on his circumstances if any part of today's media is planning to participate in any further publicity, but that will always be a matter for Mike and his closest associates.  I've wondered on and off about the long hiatus; of what may have changed in his life, and have been assuming retirement.  I wish that were otherwise, but I consider myself fortunate to have been his fan and to have experienced as much of his career in my lifetime as I have. However, this does imperil my purchase of the Record Store Day release of Opus One...   -------------- "Who was that?"

I too was really looking forward to TB4 and also the long awaited delayed deluxe album releases ("Islands" in particular) but I doubt if that is going to happen now.  Such a sad, sad day!

If it is true, then I find that very sad, It can't be the absolute last because he has a song scheduled for release in collaboration with Tarja Turunen in the "Outlanders" series...sometime in the not-too-distant future.

As I read this I check the date here in Australia... ummm... April 1. Oh, if only they'd use their powers for niceness!   With regard to the Tubular Bells X and York collaboration pieces, I'd have thought their impact was via the videos, both of which are very impressive. Incidentally, the youtube video of "Never Too Far + Islanders"- the URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHCEp8zH2Ns - now, annoyingly, is interrupted halfway through with commercials. If anyone knows where it can be watched uninterrupted I'd be very grateful. Back to top

jjmillenium Group: Members Posts: 54 Joined: Oct. 2009 Posted: April 01 2023, 05:41 well, a couple of months ago, we talk with York and he told us that is not something new, it is a new mix of Never Too Far, that they released on 2013 Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: April 01 2023, 05:43 That would be disappointing, unless he added a lot more guitars. Back to top
