I like Mike Oldfield but a lot of people seemed unhappy with the remasters.


Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Few examples to see if they interest you:

Left Side Drive
Dayvan Cowboy (give it a bit to get going, very excellent toon)
Everything you do is a ballon (this one will give you lots of LFE)

This is my new favorite thread since "Electronic" is my fav genre...

I wanted to share some examples of Art of Noise as I think they are the best band that nobody has heard of.

Moments in Love (one of the greatest songs ever made)

Peter Gunn Theme (fun remake)

Dragnet 88 (they did this for the Dan Aykroyd remake)

Robinson Crusoe

Nearly all of their songs are very layered so they take a little while to build up from the start. But I think that's a large part of why I love em so much.
