Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Feb. 12 2005, 13:33 I need your help this time! Next month I'll be playing as DJ on an 80's party and I'm allowed to play some Mike tunes on it   On my set I'm going to play Moonlight Shadow(since it was a hit on partys here in the early 90's) and Mistake,and I need some suggestions of other tunes to play,when you're dancing and in a lounge mode on,but not tunes like Islands,for example.Suggestions are accepted,and it's good to promote Mike in here   -------------- "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

EeToN Group: Members Posts: 845 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: Feb. 12 2005, 18:43 I'd play Tricks of the Light, too. Though I have only danced to Moonshine and it was great but it's unfortunately not from the 80's. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Feb. 12 2005, 19:48 "Family Man" was a kind of a big hit, wasn't it? It's a good dancey tune, and has a definite 80's vibe about it. I know I'd request it! Do not miss Mike Oldfield by no means, but don't dare to forget The Cure, Talking Heads and Depeche Mode! I just can't get enough... I just can't get enough... Hee hee, 80's parties must be cool. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

Of course not,as well as other 80's goodies.I'm a fan of 80's parties,when I can I'm there having fun.I got to know that Moonlight Shadow was a hit in the early 90's in my city parties,although the song is from 1983! The fact is,I'm going to play on the lounge this time,but later on it would be on the dance floor! -------------- "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

Guest Unregistered Posted: Feb. 18 2005, 10:33 The Hall and Oats version was a hit here in the UK, but I don't think Mikes version did well at all. I don't actually remember  ever hearing it on the radio. Back to top
