I'm wondering whether there are any conclusions to be drawn from that.   Back to top

However I didn't realise how dancy Shade would be, and so far I prefer Light. I'm sure there are other people with this experience. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all.

I wanted to hear first since it promissed me a lot than Light in terms of what I wanted to hear from Mike. Loved it a lot and now I'm addicted to it. -------------- "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

I always want to make sure I hear the complete CD, so I always start at the beginning.   One exception was when TB III came out. I immediately jumped to the middle of the CD looking for a simular piece of music as in TB I and TB II (where he adds a new instrument while the song progresses). So that was a disappointment   -------------- I sure hope that Mike realises what joy he brings to us ! Back to top

But in book terms, this isn't a novel, it's a collection of short stories. I tend to read those first whose title or apparent subject matter intrigue me the most. Back to top

Still, I did think there would be some significance in the sequence of the tracks (though I'm doubtful of that, now). Back to top

Thomas Höögh Group: Members Posts: 171 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: Oct. 15 2005, 14:13 I started with the light CD and listened through that. Then I took the shade CD and it absolutly fitted with my ears. I hardly listen to the light CD even though I feel its a great disc. But shade is so much better in my point of view. -------------- Crazy, terrible, wonderful, perfect!!!! I just love Tubular Bells ||| Back to top

Must be the psychology of putting the second disc in, or bad time organisation hehehe   I listened to Light first, and thought it was excellent, I prefer Light still just about.....   -------------- When the night's on fi-ya, do you need love's arms to hold yew? :D Back to top
