Then, of course, appropriate imagery does appear - but how much better the whole thing would have been if this imagery had been present right from the start! So far, "Song of the Boatman" is by far my favourite MO video clip. Back to top

You ought to charge per video  . Thanks, Wiga! I saw that a lot of these videos have 0 comments next to them, and reasoned that if Olivier is kind enough to put them there we should at least say something about them! Back to top

Is this the official video you are talking about? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v....3E964D4 as I see it is not listed here as so,  & to me this is not a very MIKEish video apart from the bridge with the people sprouting wings and taking off, I do not see a lot that rings out MIKE OLDFIELD made this. -------------- L◎ST ◎MMADAWN VERSI◎N RIDDLE ANSWER  mIChaeI GOrDOn OIDfIeId. =  I C   1  G◎D   OO ID I I or replace the L's that were turned in to I's & 1 gets ID◎L G◎LD ID◎L (4 ANSWER IN FULL + EXPLANATION, C ALBUM SECTION/☮MMADAWN/i-say-i-say-i-say-i-say-in-answer4XXX4Acr⊕ss Back to top

The one linked by I1 above doesn't look Oldfieldish at all. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

I see a resurrection has taken place & the butterfly has reawakened so Nightspore can you confirm that the video I have linked above is the one of which you wrote please & it is good to see you back!!!... -------------- L◎ST ◎MMADAWN VERSI◎N RIDDLE ANSWER  mIChaeI GOrDOn OIDfIeId. =  I C   1  G◎D   OO ID I I or replace the L's that were turned in to I's & 1 gets ID◎L G◎LD ID◎L (4 ANSWER IN FULL + EXPLANATION, C ALBUM SECTION/☮MMADAWN/i-say-i-say-i-say-i-say-in-answer4XXX4Acr⊕ss Back to top

nightspore Group: Members Posts: 4770 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Sep. 23 2011, 01:43 Thanks, I1. Ugo's video is the one I was talking about. There's still much that needs to be done... Back to top

On a serious note I did send you a PM two days ago regarding this! did you get it? Lastly so we do not take up anymore space on this thread\Topic could you reply to this question over on the new topic I created for the Video here  http://tubular.net/forums/the-song-of-the-boatman--?act=ST;f=88;t=10363 http://tubular.net/forums....t=10363 Then this topic can return to it's original subject.
