It has surely been a time of big changes and realisations these last few months, not least of which has been the writing of my Autobiography. This is nearing completion with the help of my co writer Jon Collins and hopefully will be published this year if not early next. During the process ofbringing this book to life I have realised a great many things about myself and my position in the scheme of things.( Oh for the gift of hindsight ! ) This will surely influence my future personally and creatively. I have contractually three and a half more years to work on a new piece of music so this will give it a chance to evolve and mature nicely. Meanwhile look out for some promotion for the Platinum Collection , the book , and who knows what elsethe fates may send . With all my best wishes : ) Mike YIPPIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------- "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: Jan. 25 2006, 19:36 well spotted captain. Book? Golly gosh, now there is something to look forward too. no doubt some amongst us will discover which publishing house has the contract. And it is interesting that by writing/ghosting this, Mike has had a good long look at his past. The mistakes, the highs. I hope he realises that a good tour and being close to his fans were the best times, and tries to repeat them. That might be my own wishful thinking. 3 and a half years for the next album? What? which dumbo at Mercury signed that deal? No doubt it will mature nicely, but I can't wait another 3 years. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Seems that now he felt confortably to do it so. The mature Mike Oldfield has just appeared from his own hibernaculum.

So we can enjoy his world virtually and live he he.. Also, if he tour we will have alot of fun to collect all the differnt live recorded concert from many fans.. Would'nt that be great?? and also, if you want to read a book instead, well at last there is one choice     -------------- Mike Oldfield M i x e s https://soundcloud.com/tubularman Back to top

I wonder if this is the same one MO is working with? -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

(The first part of the Dylan autobiog, Chronicles, gave virtually nothing away either, but was crafted together so cleverly that one felt that it did! ) Back to top
