    I really like it though it took a few listens to really sink in, I hope he doesn't take as long as the space between this and his first solo album before he releases something new?


    I agree, but he does in fact have THREE solo albums out. The self-titled one from 1978, ABOUT FACE from 1984 and then ON AN ISLAND from 2006.


    ooops! shame

    Have all of em......that's what happens when LP's have been years in storage spin

    Such an excellent album and far far better than most recent scores, it's like film music but it's got THEMES full of great melodic structure . cool

    Didn't know about the live recording?

    Heh heh...I don't listen to movie scores ALL the time. 80% of the time maybe...but I enjoy lots of different music.

    Symphony No. 1----Chris Walden

    For a first symphony (published and played) this is a noble effort and one that is worth exploring. I am working on my review of it.
    listen to more classical music!

    Never heard of him Tom but I'll look forward to your review. Is this on NAXOS?

    NP : THE EARLY YEARS - Roxy Music



    Very good compilation includes old favourites like Do The Strand and Street Life and my favourite In Every Dream Home A Heartache which has ermmmm very interesting lyrics wink , and for anyone who likes overblown electric guitar solos ( like me! ) the last few minutes of the track are absolutely killer and will "blow your mind"! cool

  12. NP: My Father Knew Charles Ives (John Adams)

    Now John Adams is someone who really knows what an orchestra can do. He can write to its limits, and those limits are considerable. (One might say this is a contrast to ... hmmm... Mike Oldfield? wink ) Here he evokes the music of Ives (through similar techniques and quasi-quotation) while retaining his own stylistic traits.

    Karl Jenkins did Oldfield's orchestration. I'd seriously doubt Adams is anywhere near Oldfield's skills with multiple instruments, some of which he's more than a 'jack of all trades' in.

    There was no need for your little dig at Mike Oldfield here.

  14. Among the excellent CDs you sent me - Hovanhess, Ifukube and Oldfield - it was Oldfield unfortunately who stood out for the wrong reasons. I mention it because I'm surprised - even on this page of this thread - how much people have loved Music of the Spheres, which struck me as more in the class of Yanni than a classical-level work. I didn't know Karl Jenkins (who I've heard of, but whose work I don't know) did the orchestrations.

    the label is origin classical #OC33002. Walden conducts the Hollywood Studio Symphony Orchestra so I'm guessing he had a decent budget including a bit of backing.
    listen to more classical music!

    Apart from having heard his name I know nothing and have heard nothing by Yanni so I've no idea what you mean.

    What was the Oldfield work I sent you Michael?

  25. Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope

    Barely anyone knows of this singer. Whatever anti-folk is, the music is really amazing and so are the lyrics. The way she plays the piano is very good and she is a VERY original voice. And, due to her Jewish-Russian heritage and over 10 years in New York, a very original accent. Recommended.

    NP : INCANTATIONS - Mike Oldfield



    Exceptional! cool
    On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt
  28. And underrated! An Oldfield fan I know was completely hating Incantations, calling it overly long and plain boring (because of the minimalistic main motivic idea probably) and when I heard it I actually found it very good. Possibly. because I am a big fan of the alternate major-minor key motif in first part (don't remember if it appears in the second one) of Ommadawn.

    I must admit though that I can't warm up to Tubular Bells somehow. Possibly, because I find it a bit too raw for my taste and I have problems with the fact it constantly tries to fight for my attention, so it turns me off after the first (amazing) part.

    Have you ever heard The Orchestral Tubular Bells Pawel? It's orchestrated by David Bedford who's worked on a few of the early Oldfield albums including Incantations.

    I love the original Tubular Bells and that "rawness" is part of what I like cool

    NP: MEDDLE (Pink Floyd)

    Continuing my journey through my PF collection. This is probably Timmer's favourite PF album, and it's high up there for me too. Truly epic at times.
    I am extremely serious.
