Tubular Bells is wonderful, as indeed Ommadawn. Don't play them much these days, but when I do.... Yes. Mike gets full coolness for those two albums regardless. And Ptah is simply one of the greatest albums, ever. :-) I actually quite like Hergest Ridge too. I don't listen to them very often either, but I do get the urge every now and then. Should I check out Hergest Ridge then ? I prefer Ommadawn to TB, because I love the celtic mystic vibe. Woodehenge sounds nice and pagan-y. That would be right up my street. What do you reckon. ( When I hear TB, funnily enough, I don't think of 'that' film like a friend of mine always does, and a lot of others I imagine. As we know, it was conceived and recorded comnpletely unrelated from, and before the film. Mike Oldfield had no personal involvement in the decision behind it's use in a film soundtrack whatsoever. It reminds me of the many awesome and inspiring facets of Nature -I recently saw an Old Grey Whistle Test B & W promo clip that depicted skiers etc. which re-affirmed that feeling )

I heard the album well before seeing the film. You might well like Hergest Ridge I should think. A more gentle vibe than TB, more pastoral.

Bit late but never mind. New Model Army - Today is a Good Day. And this is a pleasingly good album! Clog On! Also, NMA - No Rest, The Love of Hopeless Causes, Thunder & Consolation Fileds of The Nephilim - Dawnrazor. Flour Power! Rossetta Stone - An Eye for The Main Chance. Early 90's bit too late Sisters/Mission alikes but some great tunes. The Senseless - In the Realm of the Senseless. Extreme metal meets grind meets ambient meets noise n stuff. Like it. ABC - The Lexicon of Love. Truly a near perfectly formed indulgence. Picked it up for 99p in a shop in Leeds. Not heard for years. V good! Dimmu Borgir - Spiritual Black Dimensions. The Meters - Best of... Stripped down funkgasms Ironweed - Indian Ladder Agitation Free - Live 74 Tangerine Dream - Zeit, Atem. Have a nice week, what's left, noise nibblers x

Can anyone fill me in on Agitation Free? I've heard the name mentioned a few times lately, but I've no idea who they are or what they sound like.

IanB's yer man. The live album is one he sent me ealier this year. All I know really is that they are a German proggy/Krautish band from back in the day and I like what I've heard. Bigger there than over here? Instrumental and long tunes. sometimes floaty, sometimes motorikish with sniffs of progular noodlment. Quite rhythmic and groovey to my ears. I think you might like.

I've found the last few albums a bit patchy, but totally agree that TIAGD is a return to form. That said, their live album from last year is probably my favourite live album of all time. That bugger was glued to my CD player for months. Clog on! is right :)

T&C is one of my favourite ever albums, with Impurity and Hopeless Causes not far behind (especially "These Words"). I thought Carnival was a really good album, but I think they miss the fiddle-y dimension that they had earlier. Still, great band, much misunderstood.
