lukaszswietek Group: Members Posts: 26 Joined: May 2010 Posted: Nov. 21 2012, 19:16 I've got 4 questions: 1. Is there any possibility to ask Sting for doing vocals on new album? 2. Which amplification was used to create the distortion lead sound on live concerts during Then&Now Tour (or it was running through e.g gt-6 BOSS)? 3. Will you work on a longer and more progressive track for new album? 4. What about tour around Europe? Could it be possible to hear Amarok and Hergest Ridge excerpts live? [/B] Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Nov. 22 2012, 04:57 1)Many electronic music artists like York are influenced by your music.How did the idea for the Tubular Beats album first come up and how current electronic music has influenced on the track list? 2)A while ago there have been an website called "Stenzel and Oldfield" regarding a future collaboration regarding soundtracks. Any plans for the upcoming future related to this project? -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Reena Group: Members Posts: 150 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Nov. 22 2012, 06:59 Mike has been involved with some charitive goals in the past, and had one with Tonic himself. Given Caroline Monks association with breast cancer, is there any room in the future for such things ? I'm asking this because my daughter (her name is Reena, hence my nickname here... ;-))was diagnosed with Kabuki Syndrome several years ago. As this is still a very rare and to many people in the world an unknown syndrome, the parents and organizations that have to deal with the syndrome, have difficulties raising money for research, social activities and treatment and so on. Like Kabuki-Syndrome there are probably loads of other health-issues that don't really get the attention they need and deserve. Maybe this is something for Mike to get the world's attention for ? At the risk of sounding bold here, but I don't intend to be so. Back to top

Platinumpty Group: Members Posts: 178 Joined: May 2011 Posted: Nov. 22 2012, 11:19 Would you consider creating another film soundtrack (as you suggested in Changeling)?  I'm a fan of your Killing Fields score (and your other work too). As the writer-director of forthcoming British film  Sparks and Embers I have a vested interest in the answer, for a future project. Back to top

Navaira Group: Members Posts: 481 Joined: Jan. 2005 Posted: Nov. 22 2012, 16:14 Quote (Tubular Tos @ Nov. 22 2012, 07:06) Do you get some plans for concerts after the release of your next "rock" album ? ..and so maybe in France ? Oh but he's never going to get to France. ... I'd like to know: 1. How did the collaboration with York actually happen? For someone like Mr Oldfield it seems a truly random one. Who approached whom, when and how? 2. Will the new album be to any extent similar to Earth Moving? 3. I would guess that Mike doesn't have to make music for money ever again (which is a good thing) -- and I don't think he ever wanted to be top of the charts. After almost 40 years, what is the motivation then? Wouldn't mind concerts either myself -------------- http://www.raygrant.com :: My album 'Exorcism' is out on iTunes now Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Nov. 22 2012, 16:37 1 -A life in teh sun, no smoking bans, technology that means he can have the best studio wherever he wants - what toys/gadgets/gizmos can he possibly desire? 2 - Now that he's starting to embrace social media (perhaps thanks to Caroline Monks input) how can he integrate this into his music? There are a few artistes producing apps, interactive albums etc. 3 - The MVR games had a few demo's released - how about a few glimpses of the new album? -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question?

Drealm Group: Members Posts: 170 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Nov. 22 2012, 18:01 It's not a question, more a suggestion I would have him to consider or at least, just know a fan want this: It would be very great if he could finally release an ultimate CD box containing all non-album tracks he ever recorded; songs that were included on a single, collaborations with other artists, etc. All of them remastered would be even greater. List of songs we could find in this box: 1. William Tell Overture 2. Cuckoo Song 3. In Dulci Jubilo 4. Portsmouth 5. Jungle Gardenia 6. Guilty 7. Blue Peter 8. Waldberg (the peak) 9. Mistake 10. Crime of Passion 11. Pictures in the Dark 12. Shine 13. Song for survival 14. Cook's Tune 15. Aleluya 16. Excalibur 17. Lakme (fruity loop) 18. Pres de Toi 19. X-Files Theme 20. Don Alfonso (german and english versions) 21. Vivaldi concerto in C 22. The song of the boat men 23. Bones 24. Froggy went a courting 25. In the Pool 26. Ode to joy 27. Afghan 28. Day of the percheron 29. Legend 30. Mike's Reel 31. The Spectral Army 32. The Rio Grande 33. The Phaeacian Games 34. Pipe Tune 35. Argiers 36. The Path 37. Indian Lake 38. Polka 39. Rite of Man 40. Drunk Hornpipe 41. Early Stages (of tubular bells 2) 42. Music for the video Wall 43. The Trap 44. False start 45. Wrekorder Wrondo 46. Silent Night 47. Darkroom (from the killing fields) 48.

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Nov. 23 2012, 02:56 I'd like to ask if he has ever considered having Mark Knopfler on his album? as he clearly is a fan of Mark, having mentioned him a few times over the years. Also has he learned to play any new instruments over the last few years? Back to top

Milamber Group: Musicians Posts: 2275 Joined: Feb. 2010 Posted: Nov. 23 2012, 04:02 Has he ever considered re recording another early work like Tubular Bells 2003 ? Also was he aware Musicians/Members from here created a Tribute album and website for his 58th Birthday and released it online and Facebook generating 5000 views in the first week and literally thousands of plays collectively ? Cheers. Back to top
