Wouldn't it be great if Mike recorded a documentary of him recording his new album?  I think it would be great to be a fly on the wall watching Mike create an album, to see how he comes up with his ideas and how they evolve into a complete work.

It would seem doubtful that Mike would want to take the time to undertake this. However, someone else might consider approaching him with this documentary idea. This other person would have to do all of the work, and then there's much less of an "onus" on Mike.

It's a GREAT idea indeed. I would like to see clips (audio/ video)of "work-in-progress" in Mike's website. Numerous artists do that. This kind of thing involves audience in the album recording and increases the expectation.

Or, at least, a documentary after finishing the album.

I'd love to see a blog also :D

I'd love to see that, saying that the Making of Ommadawn film has never had a proper release, so how about incorporating them both   :)  :D .

BTW Mike's account on myspace , what one is it as there's more than one Mike Oldfield listed , just as there's also many Queens, I mean Queen as in the band,  there's quite a few Keith Richards' too, no wonder I'm confused  :/ .
