I'm going all in for the full acoustic + analogue experience. (Never mind it's most certainly recorded and mixed on digital equipment.) Admittedly I have been a dormant M.O. fan for the last couple of years, but I thought this particular record would make a bigger splash . -------------- Watch out for snakes! Back to top

Liquid Friend Group: Members Posts: 17 Joined: Dec. 2016 Posted: Dec. 08 2016, 15:18 This album cover isn't exactly 'returning to Ommadawn'. I guess you could argue it's what Mike saw through that rain-frosted window, his fantasy daydream, but the new cover art does take a step away from the personal introspective art that enclosed Ommadawn. 'Man with Elk vs. Angry Turtle' might be a better title. -------------- Watch out for snakes! Back to top

orbscure Group: Members Posts: 21 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Dec. 13 2016, 13:11 Its very disappointing and certainly doesn't float my boat... its does nothing to continue the theme of the original and the loose association with Amarok... -------------- Author "Music from the Darkness - Mike Oldfield 1953-1993" Back to top

I still can't help think it is like a scene from the computer game 'Skyrim'. -------------- En yab na log a toc na awd taw may on ommadawn egg kyowl ommadawn egg kyowl Back to top

The cover is interesting in that it is the first time in Mike's career that he's used what could be called a "typical progressive rock album cover". Reminds me of Rodney Matthews' style, except not as colourful. Back to top
