I think Voyager is a perfect and romantic album to play in weddings. Maybe beacuse of the romantic tunes, irsh feeling and the calm guitars and tunes.. But thats my taste     -------------- Mike Oldfield M i x e s https://soundcloud.com/tubularman Back to top

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Mar. 05 2006, 18:55 Hmmm....probably not "To be Free." If it were my wedding or handfasting, I'd play "Enigmatism" from Guitars mainly because I love it, and also because of the symbolism inherit it (well, it could be ascribed to it if you were really stretching), e.g., the counterpoint in which two separate themes are intertwined together, and the mysterious, egnimatic but beautiful territory between the yin and the yang. Congratulations, btw! -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top

Piltdownboy on horseback 22 Group: Members Posts: 1548 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Mar. 06 2006, 16:36 I'd say, use the track of your nickname: Afghan! It's an uplifting track, it sounds quite anthemic and big and it's not too long. It's perfect for it! Or Wonderful Land would be suitable! But still, I'd say Afghan!!   -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top

Seriously though... I think that, even though its not everyone's favourite MO album, Earth Moving's got some very appropriate sounding tracks for weddings... Far Country and Nothing But being the two that spring immediately to mind... Have a brill day, Afghan! Hope the Heavens don't Open... and try not to become a Family Man too soon, eh?

arron11196 Group: Members Posts: 826 Joined: April 2005 Posted: Mar. 08 2006, 02:16 If you can get someone to master it properly, perhaps the slow guitarry section after the 'wall of 64 guitars' in Ommadawn part II. Maybe also Ascension from TSODE for afterwards. -edit- by master, I mean fade in/out the guitars section. I also notice after listening to this section again that the section immediately following, the ullyean bagpipe (sp?) section, that this could also fit. Hmm, so many ample choices worth considering suggested here... deciding must be difficult     -------------- Arron J Eagling Everyone's interpretation is different, and everyone has a right to that opinion. There is no "right" one, I am adding this post to communicate my thoughts to share them with like-minded souls who will be able to comment in good nature.
