Two bonus tracks seem to be included in some releases: Près de Toi, and Lakme (Fruity Loops). Update Sep 14 - the album is also available at Amazon.fr (EUR 16.13). Update Sep 18 - the album is also available at Amazon.co.uk (£11.99) and Amazon.de (EUR 22.99). Back to top

Melomaniac Group: Members Posts: 41 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Aug. 31 2005, 14:55 I think there are two bonus tracks, Pres de Troi is listed in cd Light. If I am not mistaken, Closer is a version of this song so the bonus track titled Pres de Trois may be the celtic version Mike talked about in his interview at mikeoldfield.com. Let´s hope so. And, Lakme, something relationed to the opera by Delibes? Maybe a cover of the Duet of Flowers? Back to top

Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Sep. 01 2005, 09:58 They say they are imports on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca (Canada usually gets its own releases, let's see if Mercury keep releasing Mike's record in Canada or not). I think it's just that's the North Amercian branches of Amazon update their database faster than their European counterparts. Back to top

christopher Group: Members Posts: 270 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Sep. 01 2005, 13:08 i'm not interested in the powers that be... some one minute clips will be just fine!! Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Sep. 01 2005, 13:27 Well you're not interested but the guys who have been given a copy of the CD in good faith by Mercury most certainly are I would imagine. If they were told they could put snippets up online early then I'm sure they would. Back to top

theweightless Group: Members Posts: 604 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Sep. 01 2005, 14:07 why ask oldfield.de or others, why not ask mikeoldfield.com, there's the link mp3 for nothing. what's the use for that link after the album is released. you can go to the record shop and listen the whole thing.   -------------- ASMK Back to top

christopher Group: Members Posts: 270 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Sep. 01 2005, 17:44 Record companies really don't take into concideration the fans... i'm a musician living in the music capital of america and from stories told by ppl that work at the record companies they are interested in sales and money nothing more nothing less.   they complane about illegal pirating but they don't make products available for a reasonable price or to certain parts of the world... THAT"S THEIR FAULT IF THEY LOOSE MONEY!!!!  i'm only wanting to hear snippets which mikeoldfield.com hasn't bothered putting up either.  good faith whatever... they need to get over themselves and let the fans hear the product before purchase or release.... THAT IS GOOD PR!!! Back to top
