Hi this is ATTMO from the MikeOldfield.com forum
i have been a MK and DS fan for about half a year since i first heard a cd with a concert from london (?) which was part of the "sultans of swing - the best of DS" set and which still is my favourite (next to telegraph road).

Nice news about the new album anyway, i like STP as well so it sounds good

Welcome to the board, Taurus.

Why are Oldfield fans also interested in DS/MK stuff?

Reason enough for me to check out Oldfield material :smoker:
Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity.
And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo
across centuries? Will strangers hear our names
long after we are gone, and wonder who we were,
how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?

Hi Taurus,great to see you here,but please can we not get into the whole Mike Oldfield forum closure thing,it is getting heated enough on that forum,without the need to debate it here,thanks.

As for the DS/MK and Oldfield links,well, Mike and Mark both play some beautiful guitar,and in a somewhat similar style,both use fingerstyle,and both are equaly as good with electric and accoustic,both have a great Strat sound,and a great distorted sound,and both give a lot of though to the overall guitar sound for a track,and both are great producers,with Mark slighty better in my view,both are not stuck in one musical style,and are not affraid to try another style,both are amazing composers.

If you have'nt really heard much Oldfield,but are a fan of MK,then i would urge you to check out Mike's many albums. :rockon:
