I will have my Laptop with me and will post my ip on the bulletin board as soon as I hook up. Let's talk to LONDON! BBC London can be heard on 94.9MHz (FM) in the London area. It's also possible to listen over the internet, via their web page (click 'launch media player' and then 'BBC London 94.9fm - listen online now'. You will need RealPlayer to be able to listen). Please note that the UK is currently 1 hour ahead of GMT, so Mike will be on at 13:15 GMT, meaning 15:15 CEST (most of mainland Europe). Back to top

How is that? (Sorry, OT, but I'm wondering!) Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: April 05 2004, 17:52 Holger - broadcast is 2.15pm = 14.15 BST (British Summer Time) 14.15 BST = 13.15 GMT 14.15 BST = 15.15 CEST (central euro summer time I think?) -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: April 06 2004, 09:59 It's odd in these interviews, Mike always goes on about waiting to hear someone do something really experimental with modern music. The fact of the matter is is that there are tons of poeple, some of whom are quite mainstream, doing very arty exprimental stuff. I could point him towrds tons of bands and artists, he should pay attention to what other poeple are doing. I do love these interviews though, you just sit there thinking 'what are other listerners making of all this talk of Gravitars' and such like. Good to hear he's working on a new album, though I don't know if I like the sound of that comment about using the latest music software. Are we ever going to hear the sound of the old Mike again?

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: April 06 2004, 10:31 Latest music softwares can help Mike,much like some stuff in the past,like Fairlight.But it's important to be smart to use those in a compent way. -------------- "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

Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: April 06 2004, 10:31 Mike mentioned Garage Band. It would be cool if would release or give away some loops, from TSODE for example... Back to top

bee Group: Members Posts: 1227 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: April 06 2004, 12:18 I believe Mike is also talking to Clare English on the Arts Show on BBC Radio Scotland 92-95fm from 1805 today. (Saw it on the BBC Radio London website) Not sure if it will be an edited version of the earlier show. Hope this is useful. -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning.... You heard me before Yet you hear me again Then I die Till I call me again Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: April 06 2004, 12:37 Yup it's at http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland/ Could be pre-recorded but I think its a different show from the radio London one. Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: April 06 2004, 13:43 Did anybody hear it? It was quite short and he didn't say anything that wasn't said in the radio London interview. Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: April 06 2004, 13:55 Nope nope...but then there's a chance to listen again soon(on the website). -------------- "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

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: April 06 2004, 16:53 Funny, I missed it although I'd have had the time and everything. Shows how much I really care about what he does these days I guess... I don't know what he said exactly (downloading it now), but I agree he absolutely should use the latest software, although like someone said it has to be used in a sensible way of course. Mike once had this ability, sadly he's lost a lot of it recently... Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: April 06 2004, 17:11 The part where he talks about directly plugging in to your brain is so funny, I think he scared the shit out of the host with that, just listen to her prolonged false laugh!   Back to top

oldfield_fan Group: Members Posts: 198 Joined: May 2001 Posted: April 07 2004, 10:31 Reading the message, I thought Mike was going to play the game in radio and somehow guide the other avatars around the world (or something like that) =) Anyway, I downloaded the interviews and they were nice to listen to. Can't remember hearing him laugh so much before and he sounded very happy and enthusiastic. I hope the new album turns out well... is it his last one for Warner? / Johan Back to top

dreamweaver Group: Members Posts: 81 Joined: Feb. 2004 Posted: April 07 2004, 12:45 I really enjoyed both interviews and agree Mike sounded so relaxed and comfortable.  I've posted before though about that BBC London interviewer... sheeesh moving swiftly on... Radio Scotland was a great interview, to paraphrase "oh...and what substances where going through your body to come up with the concept of Maestro?" a moment of radio class. I must admit to hoping the online game we logged into yesterday afternoon was going to be a 'live' demonstration, Mike did appear briefly as ToshibaMike later in the afternoon and gave us a cryptic clue as to where to meet him...not sure if he was live at the Beeb then... but all in all a good afternoon's work.... -------------- I sent my Soul through the Invisible, Some letter of that After-Life to spell: And by and by my Soul return'd to me, And answer'd "I Myself am Heaven and Hell:" Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: April 07 2004, 13:33 I think that Mike planned on giving some kind of live demonstration, but it would have been very difficult to make good radio with it, and with the time constraints they had, I can quite see why they didn't let him go ahead with it. There would have been a very real danger of it being totally incomprehensible for the listeners, as playing the game is really a very visual thing - all that having the game there would provide would be a talking point (and some background sound/music). The talking point wasn't necessary and background noises would have been annoying, so I think the shows' producers made the right decision. Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: April 07 2004, 17:03 He should try and get on TV with it. I'm not sure what sort of TV show but I'm sure 'good ol' Richard and Judy would have him on demontrating it. Get a documentery made. Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: April 07 2004, 18:33 TV would be a nice medium to show off how Maestro works,much like that promo from Tr3s Lunas and the final part of Heaven and Earth. -------------- "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
