And I bought them all again when they released the remastered editions. I just want to know if someone else did that. Finally, it was a good idea, because when my ex girlfriend and me separated, she got the old ones and I kept the remasters. I had to buy Voyager again and also The songs of distant earth, and in this case it was a good reason to buy the special edition (with the MAC bonus things...). She was also liking Mike Oldfield, but I'm pretty sure she don't listen to them anymore (we have a shared guard of our little girl so I see her often and she never talked about Mike anymore). You know, these girls who follow what their man likes... Back to top

I am a little bit doubtful on newer masters as they often master for loudness and lose a lot of dynamic in the process. Mike's music needs dynamic! -------------- New free album out: http://www.bobthescreamer.com/music/twinety-twine/ Back to top

This would be a great thing to do. I will try to ask my ex to lend me two or three albums so I can try that. I was thinking that it was sure they are sounding better, but maybe I'm mistaken here...

Not all of course but my MO priorities are: TB Box (maybe on my birthday), TB II, TB III, Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Exposed, Incantation (I've never seen the CD in Poland, only 2xLP version so I would buy the remaster).

But I started to buy all remasters from The Collection on since Mark Powell and his team have done a wonderful job in bringing all the tiny little bits of Mikes music into life again. And I am really looking forward to hearing Incantations and maybe some more music in all its beauty very soon again. Edited by manintherain on Mar. 17 2011, 16:57 Back to top

The sound of the first albums was slightly improved, but it don't really impress me. But most annoying are the artworks and the many mistakes in the credits. Back to top
