I found it while checking Mikes music on imesh.  It sounds as though it may be from the Tres Lunas game although it is not on the Tres Lunas 2 album.   Anyway i downloaded it and think it's pretty good, nice piano!

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 10 2004, 18:23 It's a track by Enigma (i.e. Michael Cretu), from his second Enigma album "The Cross of Changes". A bit Mike-ish, but not Mike's. The lyrics go like this: «In every colour there's the light. In every stone sleeps a crystal. Remember the Shaman, when he used to say: "Man is the dream of the dolphin".» -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Hibernaculum).Not just a matter of coincidence. -------------- "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

Hibernaculum).Not just a matter of coincidence. Of course it's not just a coincidence, AFAIK they're friends. But [off topic], as I stated elsewhere, Hibernaculum sounds to me more like a parody of Enigma than something inspired by it... Cretu's early Enigma lyrics were authentic Latin lines (sampled from Gregorian chants), while the lyrics to Hibernaculum are 'Latin word-painting', i.e. fake Latin, meaning nothing (or almost nothing). -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Oct. 11 2004, 11:06 So many of Mike's albums are timeless. However, TSODE, whatever its artistic merits (and I think they are considerable), seems "Dated" at least with "Hibernaculum". It fully embraces the short-lived "Monk Music" craze that was going on when it was recorded. (I'm having trouble coming up with another music fad that was as brief-lived as Monk Music! "while the lyrics to Hibernaculum are 'Latin word-painting', i.e. fake Latin, meaning nothing (or almost nothing)." At least it wasn't pig latin! -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top
