Now playing Mike Oldfield - 'Elements'.
(dont really like it when he brings in vocalists)
Oh don't start me off on that!
In short, I agree!! [/b]
, over the years hes brought in singers for a 'three minute chart song', its not so bad if their used as a vocal instrument in longer tracks. Maybe wrongly, but i always feel hes trying to compensate for 'just' being an instrumentalist, when hes actually one of the best of hes kind. :rolleyes: [/b]Even on Light & Shade (which unlike many fans, I really like) he included a vocal song or two, although the vocals were entirely digital on that album.
The one part which for me really lets Tubular Bells III down, is the song "Man in the Rain".
His new classical album has been pushed back to January. But it sounds like it will be back to proper, lengthy instrumental pieces. There are vocals, but not in such a lyrical way I don't think. Plus it's classical, so won't be a(nother) reworking of "Moonlight Shadow"!
