Exclusive means new I guess, unless they can remove the rights from Virgin, Warner or Universal to an existing one? Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 22 2008, 03:17 Good point Olivier. It could well be an existing song of Mike, but I hope it will be some new stuff! It's been a while since we've heard from Mike. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Well,since I'm brazilian,there isn't so such a thing called Amazonian music,since there are a lot of music styles coming from that area,it's so specific. My guess would be songs inspired by that landscape and the journey itself... Once they played the opening beats of Amarok on a series here about amazonian indians,it was soo nice to hear and it filled in perfectly. Let's see if Universal have more news on the subject about this "exclusive" track... -------------- "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: Aug. 22 2008, 10:55 It could perhpas be an existing song a little bit remixed or truncated, and they would have the excluse rights to it? I'd bet my money on Pacha Mama, it has a more American feeling than Amarok, more African. Back to top

Pacha Mama would apply to the first episodes,since Amazon river starts in Peru.And don't forget that we brazilians we do have african roots - go to Bahia...capoeira and even samba! -------------- "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

Who Knows..  There must be shed loads of music that didnt make the cut over the Years ...  It mentions  Exclusive & Songs    so hopefully its something pretty interesting to make it worth the outlay. -------------- We're Flying Aeroflot, We've Got Reservations.

nightspore Group: Members Posts: 4770 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Aug. 22 2008, 21:12 My guess is that it's something completely new. Mike is hardly a musician who has difficulty coming up with new material. I hope it's not a song, though, unless he teams up with a good lyricist (although apart from the mixed metaphor "shining pearl... sang with one voice" on "Flying Start", the songs onIslands are well-constructed - hardly a false stress, inappropriately-emphasized syllable or word on any of them).

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.

hairy old hippy Group: Members Posts: 304 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Aug. 23 2008, 16:59 Usually an exculsive means, new music not used on any other project, so I would guess we are talking new music here. I, for one, am looking forward to this. It's good to see an artist keeping the 'tap on' after a successful album. -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres.

Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 24 2008, 20:38 It reminds me of the X-Files track he did. The cover could feature a twisted blowpipe. Back to top

HuanCry Group: Members Posts: 303 Joined: May 2005 Posted: Aug. 25 2008, 11:58 If you read the article on :- SongforSurvival it surely means Mike's track has already aired on the previous TV series called Tribe (if at all ) and not on the forthcoming TV show called Amazon !? (see track listing ...Mike's track is under the Tribe listing ! ) At least it will be on the forthcoming album and we know now it contains samples of the Anuta tribe ! Neil Back to top

3Wheeler Group: Members Posts: 828 Joined: Aug. 2007 Posted: Aug. 25 2008, 12:57 Way I read it.. is that theyve just taken Samples from "The Tribe" and some of the Artists are incorporating them into the Tks theyre performing on the Album..   Think a Similar thing was done Years ago   .. ie "Spirit of the Forest"   Kenny Young was involved as Producer  and still is I think.. A Couple of Albums were Released.. 1 on Virgin Records -------------- We're Flying Aeroflot, We've Got Reservations. Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Aug. 25 2008, 15:51 So, we are getting a dance/experimental new track inspired by and featuring samples of the Tribe. Jumping up and down here!     Then again, Tubular X - based on an existing track. So might be a remix/re-imagining   Not too long to wait though -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top
