Yesterday on my way back from work, I was listening to a song played on a local israeli radio station.. the guitar instantly caught my ear, playing mellow chords on the back of a bassy vocal which Im sure I had heard in the past, but couldnt tell where & when exactly.
The song goes on, and I realize that once, in my distant past, I heard a different version of the same song somewhere.
Then a guitar solo breaks in, jazzy/bluesy yet very inovative with folky suggestions here and there... played accurately and smoothly, so gentle to my ears. AND I NEVER LIKED JAZZ.
slightly driven jazzy guitar- completely the oposit of mike's famous signature distortion.
And im like: "damn what a good player, damn what a great sound, damn there are so many original & professional guitar players out there, im going to set my guitar on fire" etc...
All of a sudden the station reporter bursts in, saying
"Mike Oldfield" pause... music carries on.. "on that wonderful guitar, with Kevin Ayers, on the BBC..."
I was in shock. I felt proud to recognize a tromendous and innovating guitar playing but ashemed not to recognize my favorit guitar player.
Please, if anyone knows where I can get that track i'd be more than happy.
You oldfield fans & especially the guitar players, who try to vibrate, hammer and pull off like mike- there is alot more to learn from him, listen to that track immediately!!!
