I've just been browseing through www.mikeoldfield.es.vg video files and i came across a film clip for "The Bell" from TB2 . I starting to wonder what other clips has he's brought out and rarely seen  . The only Film clip resource i have is whats on the DVD's he has released . Does any one have a complete list of all the film clip's Mike's ever released because i'd really like to see what i've been missing out on. :cool:

Outside of whats on the DVD's I don't think you're missing out on much. There is stuff like the Mont St-Michel movie which is basically just a series of cheesy film clips and even cheesier photo's of Mike put to the music. There is probably more stuff like this in existence to other bits of his music, i don't think it constitutes 'official video' status though as lots of it is nothing more than using Mike's music as background music, indeed some of it may not even be commissioned by him or the record company.

The Elements DVD is a pretty good collection of all thats worth seeing.

Sounds like the "Arrival" video. And what photo of Mike is cheesier than the cardboard-cut-out Mike with guitar in the Pictures in the Dark video?

Well you could take your pick really, he's done a fair few cheesy one's over the years. Voyager has to be at the top, I remember actually feeling embarrassed buying the album.

I always thought Mike's 80's videos were just ridiculously funny, I mean Shine is just hilarious. The 80's was just a decade of cheese its unfair to single Mike out I think. The problem with stuff like the Voyager cover (and that white leather suit he wore at the TB3 premier) is that I think Mike was actually told he looked cool and went along with it. There is nothing more naff than wearing a fake tattoo, mind you it summed up the album.

Film clips like Let there be light  ,Hilernaculum , Sentinel, and The Bell are film clips i came apon by chance and arn't on the any of the DVD's that i have . Maybe Mike should bring out  another DVD with a full collection of Clips , maybe something for L&S to .
