Light and Shade is 3d parameters, did they have a relation with 3DMAX or Ligtwawe   I saw the photo. Well, Suzuki is a new Mike Oldfield's sponsor ? MoonLIGTH SHADOW et Ligth and Shade Mike like the ligth effect ? Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: Aug. 04 2005, 11:32 I like the new title "Light and Shade". Mike seems to have an affinity with light and shadows as many of his songs have such allusions. I guess "light' refers to the more uptempo tracks and "shade" to the more moodier ones. I'm only surprised that there's no real advertizing/information of the album and the release date is less than 2 months away!   -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Aug. 04 2005, 13:02 I think its quite a good title. Simple and descriptive. Much better than 'Quicksilver'. Hopefully it won't be long before we get some more info/tracklisting/album art etc etc. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Aug. 04 2005, 15:25 "Light and Shade" was Jimmy Page's concept for the very first Zeppelin album, and for the whole career of Zeppelin, I may say. Mike stealing again? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

MaXiMo Group: Members Posts: 26 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Aug. 04 2005, 17:31 Light and Shade (Vangelis??).. great title. If the album is divided in two parts.. Disc one: LIGHT; (AND) Disc two: SHADE. It sounds well.. but will the two discs sound also well? -------------- If you want to be a good person, you must be like me. Back to top

bugular tell Group: Members Posts: 482 Joined: Mar. 2003 Posted: Aug. 05 2005, 14:13 Although Light and Shade is a good title, i cant help thinking that it is unlikely as , if anywhere, it would have appeared on Mike's site or Tubular.net first? I still think its better that Quicksilver, but i wont hold my breath untill the title is confirmed   -------------- Light travels faster than sound, thats why some people appear bright until you hear them speak Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Aug. 05 2005, 14:18 Yeah I've been thinking that as well. I does seem a bit weird that there has been no offical confirmation from anywhere so far. However 'Light and Shade' does fit in with what Mike has said about the albums general direction. They must have got their info from somewhere. Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 05 2005, 21:19 Hmm, Mike is looking rougher this time... biker style! At his age! Like it. Although I hope he doesn't crash himself into a wall or something. Those bikes are also deadly machines. Light and shade.... hmmm... don't know... doesn't really matter though, I'm more interested in the music. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

christopher Group: Members Posts: 270 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 06 2005, 12:20 Fantastic... Mike looks GREAT!!!  just as blue dolphon pointed out... and btw if that is really your pic blue dolphin you are (HOT!!!... the new look is the best i've seen Mikey since TB3.  It suits the mood too of the album if it is to be a mixed album.   As for the title... I thought Quicksilver was alittle too kiss ass... clever... but kiss ass.  Light and Shade does seem abit more appropriate to Mike's ever increasing change in mood and melody.  But, again, as blue dolphin pointed out... in the end, it's the music that matters not the title to the album!   Very pleased so far... now MICHAEL... please just some small snippits would be hella nice!!!   The new look gives Mike an edgy look and suggests to me that the his playing will have a ruff edge as well... CROSSING FINGERS! peace out Back to top

And yes, Mike looks great, though I still think he should grow his hair longer again. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Harmono Group: Members Posts: 759 Joined: May 2005 Posted: Aug. 08 2005, 15:43 YEEs. Allthough I have no particular intrest in motorcycles, clothes he is wearing or how his hair is like, I do think M.O. looks like he is in control of what he is doing(as always, now in the twentyfirstcentury.) . Ofcourse these are only photographs, but I find that his eyes tell a lot-and eyes indeed are the  place to look to. As some of you already pointed out, the title of the new album isnt as important as THE MUSIC! Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 08 2005, 18:50 I find it so strange that Mike looks younger in these new photos than his last photo shoots... what is it? Is it make-up? Is it Photoshop? Is it Botox? Or has he been working out and some vitalising Q10 Nivea creme on his face for fresher look! (ahum)... sorry -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top
