Then again, the cover artwork will be different, Then again (again), it will be similar to the original.

Whether it will be a low-key release remains to be seen but with all the talk of DVDs and a premiere performance it seems unlikely. -------------- Hergest Ridge 165 - Ommadawn 038 - Incantations 243 Back to top

What it's got going against that happening I think is a case of one TB type albums to many, as far as the public's view is concerned. He really does need to play live with it at least once and get it televised like what happened with TB2. There's been no talk recently from his mouth about any live shows and I hope the idea hasn't been sidelined in favour of The Tube World project, much as I'm excited by what this may contain I'd still rather see him live anyday.

If they actually acknowledged Tubular Bells as a wonderful work, then I would be happy. But it is so predictable that they will spend half the review recounting the same old story about Kevin Ayers and recording a demo when he was 17...blah blah blah, and then the other half will be saying he's done too many Tubular Bells, why can't he do something else! And all this coming from the people that constantly ignore the albums that he has made that are better than Tubular Bells! Grrr.....sorry, had to vent my anger   -------------- Hergest Ridge 165 - Ommadawn 038 - Incantations 243 Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: April 30 2003, 10:46 Mike will be going to Madrid for the few days leading up to the release to promote the album. I doubt there'll be much promotion elsewhere, going by the record company's attitude... Back to top

I doubt there'll be much promotion elsewhere, going by the record company's attitude... I´ve heard about this thing in Madrid and now it´s true. A REAL launch party would be the best thing. -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top
