Woodlander Group: Members Posts: 48 Joined: Oct. 2003 Posted: Aug. 03 2005, 04:14 The photos remind me of the LP cover photos from Five Miles Out. Same hair colour and hair style (more or less) and surrounded by his toys (then aeroplanes, helicopter and musical instruments). Somebody here at this forum once wrote that Mike should have mentioned that making the new album was in some ways like making Five Miles Out. I wonder if there is a link there..... Back to top

I can reconize the first bike on the right,a red Yamaha Fazer 600,that he had bought a few months after TB 2003.The other two maybe are new additions,I think. He's looking good and motorbike-boosted -------------- "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

Tubularman Group: Awaiting Authorisation Posts: 2304 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Aug. 03 2005, 08:40 i cant understand how you remember that?   Funny thing... about the motorcycle he looking good at the picture. I think hes tb 2003 pictures was bad, really.. He look very tired i think. He eyes was hanging down almost.. But know it looks like he have found the joy and smile again, thought he dont really smile so much on these pictures he he.. But he look more healty ( that whats i meen) Sometimes it really difficult to find the right english word. kay -------------- Mike Oldfield M i x e s https://soundcloud.com/tubularman Back to top

Chicular Group: Members Posts: 240 Joined: Sep. 2004 Posted: Aug. 03 2005, 11:50 The pics look good!  Nice hairdo.  With regards to Light and Shade as album title.  It sounds more like a name Mike would come up with.  Has anyone heard anything official yet?  I check Play.com to see if it's on the coming soon list, no joy as yet.

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Aug. 03 2005, 13:04 Yeah I agree the TB2003 photo's of him looked terrible in every way possible. These are better but there are certain similarities, both are quite poorly lit and in forests. He looks just as mean and moody in these shots as well but he does indeed look a lot healthier. There's been a weird thing with Mike in recent years regarding his age. He seemed to age very rapidly between the 99 and 2003. During the Then and Now tour he looked about 10 years younger than he was and then all of a sudden he looked very worn out, almost like his age crept up on him really quickly. A similar thing happened to Peter Gabriel but it was even more dramatic with him. all of a sudden he put on a ton of weight and lost all his hair. If you compare Mike to his contemporaries he does look really good for his age, but you also have to remember that Mike was always the youngest of that lot anyway. Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins the guys from Pink Floyd etc, etc are all fast approaching 60 where as I guess Mike is still in his early 50's. Hope he doesn't fall off that motorbike mind. Back to top

The Bell(end) Group: Members Posts: 1051 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Aug. 03 2005, 14:08 to me he looks like Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones) only uglier     Doesn't look like he did in the TB 2003 pics, very different, as for the bikes, that screams midlife crisis, I think he is bored with making music therefore his album won't be to the standard we're used to........... -------------- When the night's on fi-ya, do you need love's arms to hold yew? :D Back to top

Tubularman Group: Awaiting Authorisation Posts: 2304 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Aug. 03 2005, 14:47 If you look at this picture from tb 2003 mike 2003 its just something that bore me. I dont know what it is. Forexample: If we do it black and white you the picture would be like this storage.msn.com/x1pGHpas_o48lk68p2-GyT7HLmgnbSIOgAEZBKBd3g5krbJZjNJMRfVFl4CPUwbpdhv_iFTSTFCxrfvtjUpChKaZXv MVUihRtI_kWtSTbtYCkzsZ04E5DpYXwOiUltkwZrCVFLxQ6dyj0XfbUIFAD8r_w the same thing with this bored ugly picture storage.msn.com/x1pGHpas_o48lk68p2-GyT7HLmgnbSIOgAEZBKBd3g5krZ-ufYg8h5-GtpeeO2TvbC7vkUDFPZVyLRNvUBPp3Gwvb7 CmZdr5Y4eDSCbg2kUwcLwbKYR7plvUIF98XWgNG3FtphT2hVrWIj_xkyUuQU0NA This use to be with ugly colors and a horrible style (i think so) Just when you make it black and white its just much better. And i agree with that he was so much younger when he played Tb III. he image was very good i think. The spanish people must have been inspired him or something. But talking about this new image he have now. (crise age he he) I like it alot. I dont care if its motorcycles behind him. I dont know.. but it remains me of Guitars. Dont ask me why... -------------- Mike Oldfield M i x e s https://soundcloud.com/tubularman Back to top
