In www.mikeoldfield-treslunas.com there´s the official ToBeFree promo video.

U can download it here

I think it´s so beautiful, the singer isn´t the true singer (like in sentinel) and I think the video seems let there be light´s clip bout tecnic and heaven's open in theme...

IMO, the clip is a kind of MusicVR big ad mixed with a true optimism message. (the darling´s blue, but she plays MusicVR and she feels fine!)

For my comment:

News / Official Tr3s Lunas website

As I said it doesn't do much for me and if you think it's the best video he's ever made then you're kidding yourself.

I love the video! His best maybe not, but it captures the message of the song and MVR very well - simple and beautiful. Every time I see the video on the first 'To be free' my spirit rises up as the camera plunges into the underwater fantasy world. The lady may be feeling blue, but as a spiritual encounter come 'out of the blue' she delves into the blue and comes out singing the blues!!!

Well Timshen, if you've ever played Riven, then you'd know what an underwater fantasy world should look like.

My disapointment has everything to do with the poor graphics used on MVR.

But that's a different discussion.

I don´t think it´s his best video, I only think it´s so good (not so much at all)...

For me, the best Oldfield´s promo videos are the Magic Touch and Let There Be Light clips by far...

...don´t you think the dolphin on the video swims too fast?

As for the dolphin: is there a way to slow these animals down?

Jael, I've never played Riven, infact I don't play thet kind of game and I hardly have time to play any computer game.

What I like about the video is its simplicity - the underwater scene is very uncluttered, simple and 'free'. Still of course LTBL video is MUCH better technically but TBF has a simple beauty to it that I like.

Well, its a matter of taste innit?

Oh yes, the dolphin is a bit too fast and also a bit fake!

in all the links i saw before i saw the video, it said it waas the video for Tres Lunas, which made me think that it was for that song and not to be free.

I only saw about 30 seconds of it before i closed it becoase my internet connection isn't fast enough to stream video, so i can't say how good it is yet.
