Is there by any change somebody who knows something more about this possibility or is it to good to be true.   Has Mike Oldfield been working on a new album? While representatives are keeping tight-lipped, reports have been circulating on the Internet. There have been strong rumors that the musician is finally returning to the recording studio working on a what might be a back-to-roots album. According to a source, rumours of Mike Oldfield working in recording studio are true, with as many as eight songs having been put to tape. “It’s still in the early stages,” “He’s got security on the doors to ensure no-one hears a whisper,” a source said. World Tour To Follow New Album? Mike Oldfield is rumoured to be planning a worldwide tour at the end of 2015. When contacted, a representative had no information on a new album, or any of the musician’s future plans. This isn’t the first time in recent memory reports have surfaced about Mike Oldfield recording sessions. Fans will be anxiously awaiting... Do you think Mike Oldfield will pick up right where he left off and deliver another excellent album? I truly hope that there is something planning by Mike, maybe the Telecaster project. Back to top

(Although, Mike, as we know, is mercurial in his moods from time to time!   Back to top

So I suppose he is working on a new album. If it's actually another TB album, we will see. Other projects might be upcoming deluxe editions. Discovery is next. Back to top

Delfín Group: Members Posts: 667 Joined: Nov. 2000 Posted: May 22 2015, 10:21 A prequel is a great idea. I'd either call it 'Before' or 'Breakfast in Bed' as Tubular Bells was going to be called. I'd recommend Mike to relax, get isolated and submerge into memories, pictures, popular music, and places of all that time and try to get into the heart, mind and soul of the young boy that dreamed to be a multi-instrumental hero and a very singular musician. And please, make it possible to hear such wonderful instrumental tracks as Incantations,  Taurus 1, 2, 3 or Amarok as performed live. I think I'm representing 95% of fans when I say that.

Not much of a PA really. PA = personal assistant...to Mike...not personal answerer to FB questions. Be happy she hasn't banned you, as she did me when I posted that the UMe guys said the artist was happy with only releasing DD5.1 on DVD for the first few surround mixes and asked why no Blu-ray or flac download.
