Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Aug. 30 2007, 06:32 I managed to remain stoic (while having a pleasant fantasy of dropping the offending piece of furniture on your toe, Alan) up until "Platoenum" and "Guitoes" had me in tears of laughter. I think you've covered all the possibilities, unless one resorts to song titles. In which case, I'm partial to "Toes of an Angel". -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Ebony Group: Members Posts: 172 Joined: June 2007 Posted: Aug. 30 2007, 06:53 What about Toe Dream?  Toerus I, II (or should that be "toe") & III?   Ok, that's me done with the toe puns! Hmmm, I'd say the best MO album for getting me up in the morning is either QE2 or TBIII. ...and for scaring me in the middle of the night - Tubular Bells (I woke up in the middle of the caveman bit after a bad dream and for a few seconds, actually believed there was a big scary monster in my room!   ) The best one for relaxation I'd say would be TSODE. And for when you're particularly angry/stressed/upset and need a smile - it's got to be Amarok. Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Aug. 30 2007, 09:24 I think I have said it before here, but Tubular Bells is the definitive album to get me out of a frustrated mood. For roadtrips, I find myself preferring albums like Tubular Bells (during the day), Heaven's Open (early afternoon), Amarok (early evening) and Crises (night). And I can make dozens over dozens of recommendations from other artists as well (EP+6, by Mogwai, in particular). -------------- 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.

Interesting anagram there: D TOES Quote Toerus I, II (or should that be "toe") & III? Beautifully spotted! Wish I'd thought of those!! Not to mention Sweetpea's 'Toes of an Angel'. Classic. Have you noticed Sentoenel and Tattoe from Toebular Bells Toe? And on Toebular Bells Toe003, we have Fast Guitoes, Bagpipe Guitoes, and Ambient Guitoes, as well as Intoeduction, Latoen, and A Minor Toen. You think we've spotted a hidden message here?

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Aug. 30 2007, 12:01 As I think I've said on a previous thread, Hergest Ridge can be great for traffic jams. Especially the quieter sections, I just want to stay stuck in traffic for longer! -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Aug. 30 2007, 12:51 There's definitely a hidden message here, isn't there? Something's afoot. For sheer, short, pithy, to-the-point-ness, 'Toe France' gets my vote for the best yet. But that doesn't stop me being proud of my series of discoveries within the Toebular Bells Toe and Toebular Toe003 albums, which I fully believe will give me the toehold on the ladder of Official Oldfield Stoedies that I've long been waiting for.

Moonwing_Shadow Group: Members Posts: 69 Joined: Jan. 2006 Posted: Aug. 30 2007, 14:48 Sweetpea, what have you started now?? For me, QE2 is good for bike riding through the park.. A while ago, I found that Incantations was good for a long coach trip while I was in college. Amarok is good for any time I need to cheer myself up. And Voyager is good for a nice walk. -------------- I'd rather be on Dragonback Back to top

Quote Have you noticed Sentoenel and Tattoe from Toebular Bells Toe? I've also seen Altoed State... or is that taking it too far?! Quote There's definitely a hidden message here, isn't there?

ImAFoolAndImLaughing Group: Members Posts: 536 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: Aug. 30 2007, 18:10 Best MO music for walking alone through the endless space of the open hills? You'd expect me to say Hergest Ridge, I bet, but for me it's Incantations there's just something about those hypnotic rhythms and variations on that one theme that make it perfect walking music! -------------- "I was in this prematurely air conditioned supermarket and there were these bathing caps you could buy that had these kind of Fourth of July plumes on them that were red and yellow and blue and I wasn't tempted to buy one but I was reminded of the fact that I had been avoiding the beach."

bee Group: Members Posts: 1227 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: Aug. 30 2007, 18:48 Have just noticed Matt's avatar is ( I think ) a piece of cheese, appearing in a very amusing thread where feet etc have been mentioned, now is that just a toe-tal coincidence?! Subtle! I do like The Socks of Secrets, Verucular Bells ( errrr!! and ofcourse Toebular Bells. It'll never ever sound the same again! Still, it's sure to get your feet tapping. -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....
