qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: May 16 2003, 10:56 Be a bit more optimistic people,maybe this is what we hoped would happen,after Mike has made the new Tubular Bells album he has got a renewed interest in making music with real instruments again,here's hoping anyway.

Ram Group: Members Posts: 6 Joined: May 2003 Posted: May 16 2003, 12:09 Yes! Mike has made a contract for two CHILL OUT albums and TB 2003. Now it seems that the next album will not be a Tres Lunas II (minimalistic Cafe del Mare style with many drum loops and nothing much happening at all). That was my biggest fear because in the past Mike has never done a album in the same style than the album before and that`s what makes me love him so much. Old celtic style... I think that could be interesting. Maybe he will work with orchestra again like on Mont St. Michel. I like this piece. But I would love to hear a longer composition with progression which uses celtic elements along with other styles. Back to top

But seriously, Voyager wasn't so bad (although, saying this I realize I haven't listened the album for half a year or so). Only time will tell. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

It's just that what he says and what he does doesn't always seem to match. Example (among many others): Guitars. Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: May 27 2003, 11:53 In his recent interviews Mike has said that he is thinking of doing an album with a mix of celtic (with original instruments) and synth/computer music. I hope that doing TB2003 has nudged him more to longer instrumentals with celtic themes plus spacey over and undertones - SODE meets Ommadawn with a bit of Amarok thrown in would be fab! -------------- Expect Great Things.
