It happens to us all, it's called 'getting old'

Has anyone looked at themselves in a mirror while they were dancing, lately?

I doubt I'd recognise myself actually! Still doesn't excuse his attempts at dancifying Tubular Bells for the umpteenth time.

I just can't get the Blue Peter theme tune out of my head when I think of him.

Ommadawn - marvellous.

Shame he turned into a sad mid-life crisis bloke when he moved to Ibiza. And why is all his music now tinged with dad-dancing style cheesy 'techno' beats?

Going through my Oldfield collection again as usual. Got almost everything but I keep coming back to Ommadawn and Amarok.

Artistically yes. Financially no.

Oldfield got shafted by the bearded one on that record deal. Branson made Virgin off the back of that album.

Sure you don't mean "The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks"

aah the concept2 - used to use one of those years ago - I must make some space somewhere to put one in again....

I was most disappointed when the cd of Hergest Ridge ( I think) was released without the drunken sea shanties....

...'and it's all made up of little pieces of broken eggshell....' (misquoted).

Ommadawn gets my vote too, and I somehow missed TB II.

I love Mike Oldfield and I love TB I & II

But my favourite is Ommadawn. I don't really listen to it in the summer. It's an album that needs wind and cold and kicking dry leaves on the ground and flurries of snow and scarves and...

Listening to TB at the moment. Grand piano ...

Is my PM´s ringtone, but not in a stylish way; it´s one of those nasty bleepy self programmed versions.

I actually quite like Mike Oldfield’s weird and wacky album. I occasionally listen to it while training on my rowing machine; the trance-like weirdness of it all distracts me from the agony that a Concept2 rowing machine can inflict on the body.

Try TB II. Thats even stranger, but in a very good way.
