I've dreamt a while ago that Mike got the award...but I think that he will not win this time. -------------- "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

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: May 14 2009, 12:54 Use the force dude! Seriously though it would be a great thing for him to win but to be shortlisted for his first classical album is an acheivement in itself IMHO.The fact that it went to number one in the Classical charts speaks volumes.As much as i love the whole TB series he could be seen as being guilty of spending too long tinkering with it.I know MOTS has elements of TB it still stands on it's own merits as a complete peice. Just realised i mentioned 5 oldfield peices/albums in the last 2 sentences without even trying.(TB,MOTS,Guity,Complete,Elements......god help me...i spend far too much time listening to Oldfield or on this site!!!. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: May 14 2009, 17:16 I'm inclined to agree with the article by Michael White - "some kind of joke." We all know who's the REAL winner. < Ok - group hug moment > -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: May 14 2009, 17:27 Quote (wiga @ May 14 2009, 18:16) I'm inclined to agree with the article by Michael White - "some kind of joke." We all know who's the REAL winner. And what a joke it was. If Mike had lost to someone "serious" from the classical world,it's fine,but losing it to a bunch of bagpipers makes me laugh.The same would apply if The Priests or the people from The Salvation Army had won it. At least he had his name back to the spotlight in the UK for a few moments again! -------------- "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
