hairy old hippy Group: Members Posts: 304 Joined: July 2005 Posted: June 01 2007, 13:19 I have seen a very scratchy version of this documentary and absoloutly love it. It's relaxing and has a retro 1970's science documentry appeal to it. There are a few segments of Mike's music unused elsewhere and early versions of incantations and ommadawn and mike makes a cameo appearance! I think a lot fans would appreciate a restored version being issued on dvd. Anyone know of anything or have anything to say. -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres.

Hifiguru Group: Members Posts: 275 Joined: Aug. 2002 Posted: June 01 2007, 14:35 yes but i think original master is not very good quality so it takes alot of work to remaster it and i doubt anyone would want to do so because most likely only MO collectors would buy it in dvd. Awhile ago i uploaded whole thing to google videos as well i equalized sound to make talking voice little bit clearer from original. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7056669413467832719&hl=en Film scratches doesnt bother me but i would like to hear this thing with good quality audio. I recently watched The Space Movie DVD release and i was pretty much disappointed about remastering work. -------------- -TB Limited ultimate edition 2009 (still sealed) -Hergest Ridge Limited 2010 #017 -Ommadawn Limited 2010 #065 -Incantations Limited 2011 #003 -Platinum Limited 2012 #316 -QE2 Limited 2012 #112 -Opening Ceremony London 2012 #61 -Five Miles Out 2013 Limited LP #116 -Crises 2013 Limited LP #259 Back to top

I've just been looking at the video you uploaded, the quality is not half bad compared to what I've been used to. I think I'd like this film even if I'd never heard of Mike Oldfield. -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres.

That price hasn't changed in almost 20 years, that is what I paid for a tape copy. I suspect the DVD is not a remastered or improved version, otherwise they would have said. The original transfer looks like it is from a 16mm print that has a poor optical soundtrack. It is hard to improve once it is like this, you need to go back to an earlier stage which would be difficult to arrange. Concord seem to have a huge range of films available for distribution and this is just one of them. Back to top
