Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 15 2013, 21:51 One day he says "I have no idea of other artists or genres that music journalists talk about. I haven't got a clue." Another day he remixes "a very well known band". So it might be a very well known band journalists never talk about? Back to top

Platinumpty Group: Members Posts: 178 Joined: May 2011 Posted: Aug. 16 2013, 07:58 There were stong hints in Caroline's posting that the band might be Queen and the song could even be Bohemian Rhapsody.  I can kind of imagine an instrumental cover done by Mike largely on guitar of BR.  Whether it's a good idea or not... only time can tell.

siul Group: Members Posts: 25 Joined: Oct. 2002 Posted: Aug. 16 2013, 13:04 Maybe a remix for "Isolated System" from Muse? There is obvious reference to Tubular Bells in the song, and it will be funny Oldfield involved in the remix. Back to top

And there was that talk of Muse to sound a bit like TB for a soundtrack... -------------- "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

I think it's just something aimed at his detractors rather than his fans really.I'm sure he listens to a lot of stuff...but he goes there and transforms into his own thing. -------------- "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

LOL It is also good to know that One Republic are better choice than Coldplay since One Republic are Coldplay for work class people However, Muse sounds like a good idea although Daft Punk would be best for remixing, but they are not rock band? What is rock band nowadays anyway? -------------- www.soundcloud.com/sagan2-1 Back to top

sagan2 Group: Members Posts: 20 Joined: April 2013 Posted: Sep. 07 2013, 13:35 hmm...could be him... ...he sings like prog rock singer from the past and looks like brigitte bardot, that's a really lovely combination and maybe imagine dragons could be the remix band? -------------- www.soundcloud.com/sagan2-1 Back to top
