captainjjb Group: Members Posts: 310 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: Mar. 04 2008, 17:19 what a strange video - seems in the wrong order with a long pointless middle section of the orchestra only practicing (or maybe performing Stockhausen?!?), but the opening sequence with Mike joining the orchestra is nice.

It seems to me that now it's dyed   But on some of MOTS promo pics,you can notice the touches of gray! I really really wanna see Mike with gray hairdo asap,like his brother...fingers crossed About the video,nice to see Mike relaxed,and as one more musician in the orchestra.His arrival with his guitar case(at least it's not the banana-colour case he had when he was younger - discussed on Changeling),his preparations to play,very natural.I loved it. -------------- "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

Should be titled Music Of The Shrooms, the conductor should control the orchestra, not the other way around Solti would never had allowed this...Still looking forward to a polished performance on Friday Night..   Back to top

I think it's all from the same camera. It's been edited, hence the impression of different angles. Back to top

Did sound quite cacophonic though. Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: Mar. 06 2008, 21:20 Wonderful interview. Ha Ha! The interviewer got hammered for asking the "why?" question. Actually Mike's explanation of why he doesn't like why questions is probably the best and most coherent of the answers i've heard so far (although I don't think all artists would be miffed if they were asked why they painted a certan picture - they may be delighted to explain the chain of events that led them to put paint to cnavas in that particular configuration). -------------- Expect Great Things.
