MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: June 03 2003, 19:15 Either TB2 or TSODE. I remember listening to Sentinel for a long time when I was a kid. And Weightless also. It's the first real Oldfield album I heard. I heard pieces of Hergest Ridge, Platinum, and Incantations but TB2 was the first MO cd we owned. Then we got TSODE and I listened to everything on that for a long time. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: June 04 2003, 04:56 Five Miles Out was the first of Mike's records that I bought and has a  special place. Another is Ommadawn as I first listened to it in a  holiday cottage in North Wales looking out over Llanberis Pass - still very vivid in my imagination -------------- Expect Great Things.

tubularbills Group: Members Posts: 528 Joined: Aug. 2000 Posted: June 04 2003, 17:09 Tubular Bells III is probably my +prized+ posession, mainly because i got it from an actual store when i was in England for a vacation. likewise, with Guitars when i was in Germany. -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect.

MO fan Group: Members Posts: 177 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: June 05 2003, 18:50 For me it was 'Incantations' and its still my favorite. I waited and waited for Mike to bring out his next album for almost three years and then I was overjoyed to hear it was a double record album. I was not dissapointed. The music themes were haunting and full of atmosphere, it made me want to pick up my brothers guitar and hit a few of the chords, but everyone in the house jumped on me as I can't play a note   Funny what really good music does to you.

Brewer Group: Members Posts: 60 Joined: July 2002 Posted: June 07 2003, 08:32 Watchin my then girlfriend, now wife, listening to Hergest Ridge with headphones on for the first time. Jan 1986 I could see her facial expressions and the feeling that she was gettin as much enjoyment out of it to the point of "Oragasmic Feelin" that i had on numerous occasions. At that point I realised that i was normal and that the music could make you feel so "Waaaaaaaaaahhh". For a long time i thought it was just me.

Link Group: Members Posts: 28 Joined: May 2003 Posted: June 07 2003, 12:59 Ommadawn for sure... but "recently" (half a year ago) I bought Hergest Ridge, and that album has got a lot of charisma too... And off course: Tubular Bells... My ultimate music-evening is: Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn! And some whisky will make it compleet!

maria Group: Members Posts: 928 Joined: July 2002 Posted: June 07 2003, 18:02 the four first vinyls of him that i bought in a second hand record shop in portugal when we were taken to the end of term journey in the 8th course of primary school. yeah i spent almost half of the money i had in those vinyls. they are the most beloved items in my collection... tubular bells, hergest ridge, platinum and ommadawn. well also the knebworth video means a lot to me. once more i state it would be great to have it on dvd. any time i watch it i'm afraid it could be the last time... sometimes  it even sounds a bit woawowawoa... sure u know what i mean. -------------- ...morning and evening i'm flying, i'm dreaming...

SHINE Group: Members Posts: 138 Joined: April 2003 Posted: June 07 2003, 19:01 One old TDK 60 tape where I recorded "Five Miles Out",the first work of him I heard , from the vinyl a friend bought when the album was released.     I never play it now ( I got the CD later ),but this tape lives with me since 1982...     And it's also the very first tape I have ever recorded.              There's nothing written on it,but I always recognize it.                   ...Tomorrow I'll listen to it !!

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: June 07 2003, 19:38 Mmm, probably the videos of Mike I have (Knebworth, TWC, Elem etc. etc.) means the most to me, because they can't be bought new anymore. I also bought a Sallyangie LP in Denmark last year... me very proud, I came back from Denmark and I see Sallyangie is for sale on CD... duh   But everything I have of Mike is handled carefully by me. If someone wants to see a Mike album of me he/she has to handle is very carefully. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top
