I would prefer a live recording but a 'greatest hits' thing would also be great if they do it properly, with lots of tracks and some nice extras. I hope they do it properly. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

afghan Group: Members Posts: 145 Joined: July 2004 Posted: Aug. 13 2004, 11:25 yes,i agree another comp.if its virgin years i cant see there being much new stuff,maybe elements on dvd,but im a bit of a pessamist so i hope i am wrong. -------------- may you never run aground or fall into the deep deep sound Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Aug. 13 2004, 15:42 It's been mentioned in Record Collector magazine (as the German and French parts of geinoh's post already say...), and I believe it is indeed not an album but a DVD collection. I imagine it would be something along the lines of Elements, but no doubt with different material. However, I have no information other than that - it could turn out to be a mistake. Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Aug. 13 2004, 19:58 These things tend to feed of themselves. A rumour here is reported as fact elsewhere. Journalists can be lazy creatures (unless any members are journalists, in which case they do a hard and fantastic job). As with so much else, I'll believe it when I see it. But, just assuming it is going to be Virgin cash-in, and the space available on DVD, here's hoping for Elements plus interviews and promo clips. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question?

x-donna Group: Members Posts: 28 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Aug. 26 2004, 17:24 Well this sounds awfully like the album Virgin released in Europe last year called Mike Oldfield Collection... that has stuff up to 1991 all the normal things and Pictures in the Dark. Just a thought.. D. -------------- www.dxfc.co.uk Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Aug. 30 2004, 13:39 Any info on any 'extras' they may include? It would be nice if they included something rare or unseen before. Is there any info over at MO.com? Or has Mike lost complete interest in anything released under his name. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Aug. 30 2004, 15:15 There's nothing about it at mikeoldfield.com...I'll let everyone draw their own conclusions from that, though. I think this ought to be a fairly interesting release, even without any extras. It will be interesting to see whether they include any extra interview footage, whether they just use what was on the original Elements video, or whether they just scrap the idea altogether (hopefully not...). It's interesting to see Don Alfonso in there, considering how Virgin have never released that on CD, let alone video. I'm mildly intrigued, actually - it's very unlike Virgin to be releasing this!

SentinelGard Group: Members Posts: 358 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Aug. 31 2004, 04:09 Yet another The Best Of  or The Essential Album ...All well might aswell add it to the collection any way...LMAO Peace...   Nothings Round in A  Tubular World ..... -------------- "Onwards & Upwards'" Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Aug. 31 2004, 04:42 Sorry,but it's not just another Best Of,because firstly,non of Mikes video's have been released on D.V.D. before,and some of the video's in the list above have never been released on VHS either,plus the enhanced sound,so,i think this is a very worthwhile release!!!. Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Aug. 31 2004, 05:09 It's a totaly worthwhile release and very welcome indeed. Some fans have waited ages for this. It does seem weirdly out of the blue, given that the music world looks incresingly like its given up all interest in Mike. It would be a bit of a wasted opertunity if they didn't include anything new beyond the videos. But who knows? Maybe it's brimming with hidden extras. Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Aug. 31 2004, 06:19 This better be true!! I know I'm naturally trusting and defensive of Mike, but all the criticism and reports of him and his website have made me just slightly doubtful. I would absolutely love such a DVD and there is nothing to make be think that it won't come out, but an official comfirmation would make me feel a lot more certain. I've e-mailed mikeoldfield.com asking for a confirmation that the DVD will infact be released. I'm holding my breath. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

x-donna Group: Members Posts: 28 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Aug. 31 2004, 09:13 Hi I asked Sendit.com about this DVD as it was on their site I wasn't able to order it so I asked why and the reply was ..... Mike Oldfield - Elements - The Best Of (DVD) (Region 2) - 11th Oct 2004 Cat. No: 5999899(EMI RECORDS (UK)) Bad news I'm afraid! This title has been withdrawn from sale for the time being. We are currently waiting for updated information from EMI RECORDS UK. This could be a production problem, or some legal issue. Please keep checking our site from time to time. As soon as we get confirmation from a reliable source, we will update our site. Sorry for the bad news. So another DVD rumor hits the dust. D. -------------- www.dxfc.co.uk Back to top
