What about you? -------------- "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

The sound of recordings hasn't changed much since the 70s. The thing that has changed is the synthasizers, and I don't know how many of those he'll use. -------------- "A people who would sacrifice liberty for security will lose both, and deserve neither."

Id rather hear groups of Music 6mins to 15mins max  melded together ... At least with Mike he likes his Tempo Changes so I think thats no danger !! Back to top

I expect something similar to Tubular Bells II. Wow, that's a pretty high expectation! I think he wants to emulate many real instruments with software. According to his description so far, it will be another unique album. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Mar. 01 2006, 15:58 Mmmmm...what's on my mind is his new long instrumental work will have pieces that can be edited as a single. The reinvent part is related to the fact we saw on L+S that some of his tech toys are able to be part of the music without requiring real musicians,and that can be a choice for him,if he'd like to continue that "one-man-orchestra" stuff(like he once said about L+S). -------------- "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

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Mar. 01 2006, 17:37 I think the working relationship with Robin Smith may come into it somewhere - maybe more orchestral input? But, yes, perhaps the book has made him re-asess the incantations/exposed era. As for the tech side, mainly he seems to use it for the production, tunes are still tunes and Mike is a master at that. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

I hope that it is similar to Incantations in its capacity to launch me on an interesting emotional/spiritual journey.  I hope, though, that the journey lies on a new and undiscovered path, though maybe a few of the same herbs, flowers, and nebulae wouldn't be so bad. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist."
