Mike Oldfield - The Piltdown Man

[82nightwalk]

i like this. chilly and nice video.

[greenaissance1]

I just love this so much.

[gibderfenson]

now that's a tribute!

[BlackBunik]

Very intriguing. Good job!

[SuperRothers]

And still the most inspired tribute to Mike Oldfield---SuperRothers( nee whielden.)

[fatpizzaman]

This isn't the Piltdown Man tune, it sounds like "Argiers" and a part of the original Tubular Bells theme on Side one.

[greenaissance]

Superb

[MarkMuses]

Art has more to say than science and this is no exception nor is it defamatory of science to suggest this I believe.

Oldfield's alright isn't he? Check out Boards of Canada too.

[MegaCrowman]

2;44 kind of looks like John Lennon

[dmhsa]

This is not what I was looking for, but now that I'm listening to it, it's awesome!

[truinfini]

ooh. when listening to Mike Oldfield, i always get inspired for ideas in the book series that i am composing, now after learning what the name 'piltdown' refers too, just listening to this gives me ideas beyond belief. great stuff.

[rogneid]

I just found this, and think it's one of the videos around. You do Mike Oldfield proud!

[Maulheld2007]

I love this compilation!

[saltwatersun]

STILL MY very First Favorite.....

And will always Keep It......

Thank you Mike Oldfield

aND iCECORE SCIENTIST......

[royrashbrook]

Absolutely brilliant combination of themes from first three albums, set to a sample of the opening to "Argiers" (I think) from the fourth - Collaborations. I wish I'd heard this before buying Boxed. Could have saved myself a packet. Stunning

[TubularBelle]

Still one of my favourite videos on You Tube.

[whielden]

Still the greatest vid on youtube....

[dctangoar]

Interesante...

[SaphronPearlCar]

Good video imoages to accompany the music - well done.

[Humanfishboy]

Oh my god, this is impressive. Bravo to the composers! Bits 'o tubular bells and Ommadawn and maybe some others thrown in there, but you make it sound like your own. Brilliant work!

[rogneid]

I so agree, it's wonderful. I meant to give you a thumbs up and accidently hit the thumbs down by mistake. Well, I understand in some Roman down thumb mean Yes, so consider it an anachronistic thumbs up!

[jlukatech]

Keep coming back,almost addicted. great treatment.

Very Very Good......

[redrosebutterfly13]

This music is absolutely gorgeous!

[ChrisArlingtonVA]

Holy shit this is wicked awesome. Reminds me of the music of Bjorn Olsson--a swedish ambient/electronica musician-- and his album "Instrumental Music to Submerge in and Disappear Through".

It sounds alot like this. Highly recommend it.

[olracuk]

"you will come back" - Hmm, I wish the classic Oldfield would come back, but unlike Doctor Who he doesn't regenerate that often. Well done with the playing and video - love the "stuff"!

[Survivor2002]

Beautiful job on arranging all the bits from his best three albums (well, best three IMNSHO). One of the better versions I've heard so far of MO's tunes. Bravo!

[EddyBergman]

Wauw what an awesome awesome video!

[yillbrillem]

I remember mike. It must be hard to be so deep into music and still have time for video work too. You do great work Mr. Icecore.

[skisdad]

We used to listen to this Album with our Dad when it first came out in the early 70's. It still Blows me away all these years later. Amazing album from a truely amazing man. Puts 99% 0f todays Artists to shame.

[whielden]

It is over a year since I first saw this, and it is STILL my favourite clip from youtube...

[SuperRothers]

@whielden As SuperRothers I STILL rate this as the greatest tribute to my hero MO.

[5jerry]

The music and visuals, were both, beautiful.

[Leibo07]

On 'Tubular Bells', the Piltdown Man sounded quite different ... !

[Dutchyfirst]

Well done. Very, very well done.

I'm just curious about the background of this video. Could you tell us a little more?

[royrashbrook]

Brilliant.

[H5LL2O25]

Terrific interpretation of the Oldfield tune.

[dougerber]

so awesome

[enjoythevoyage]

I just noticed the Irish hound??? Nice! Yours?? I love your videos! I am awestruck!

[enjoythevoyage]

Our son and his family live on the east coast of Ireland! We have been there twice and hope to get there in October! It is a slice of heaven!!My soul is renewed there! I didn't mention this before, but your music is perfect!! 5 musical and communicative stars!

[UniGTR]

Go hanna mhaith icecorescientist - great vid + music! Very tasty guitar work at 03:13 too. 5 x *****'s - UniGTR+++%

[thingsihaveseen]

Beautiful. Your Music has been the backdrop to my last week.

[screamingangieX]

great

[TubularBelle]

This is my favourite Mike Oldfield inspired video on You Tube.

[FatherChrismas]

Very nice ... very, very nice.

[GreatGobo]

Bravo Ice Core Scientist, Bravo!

[RabidRaiWildwood]

I too found you via your Pale Blue Dot video! Could you possibly get any better???

Long Live Icecorescientist!!!

[Zerrith]

I saw your pale blue dot video and decided to watch your other videos. Did you write this song yourself too? Even if this song isn't yours either, your an amazing song writer and need to release an album..

[markano2000]

please keep on watching :-)

[nowhining4u]

UR so talented..glad I found your material! peace

[whielden]

cONGRATS Icecorescientist blending Argieres with TB side 2 is inspired. I only drink Shiraz/cabernet myself, but it gives me great satisfaction...

[whielden]

As Argieres is my favourite track aside of ommadawn, i am very impressed by your effort. I also agree with the response that oldfield left his creativity in the 70s and has never followed up Incantations .

[saltwatersun]

Not entirely ,Try Tres Lunas my friend it is very good.I don't think you will be disappointed.

[whielden]

I have revisited Tres Lunas, and perhaps there are some encouraging ideas , fair play !!! I would value your thoughts on Ommadawn Live Concerts and Maddy Prior. Thankyou.

[JimiHindrex]

wow thats amazing

[bobjonesu]

ha. that record is tight!

[7forheaven]

hi, icecorescientist! that's great !!! very peaceful.

[saltwatersun]

This is very well done! A great piece of Art! I like it very much.I wish I could go there!Opps someone already said that.The trees and landscapes are absolutely beautiful,looks very Van Gogh at times.

[np2ij]

I'm sad. I'm very sad because Mike should watch this video and remember his pure quality from the past and finally forget all Ibiza pop-music influences... Wake up, Mike, pls!

[TubularBelle]

Good News. Mike is returning to his classic 70's roots for his new album 'Music of the Spheres' due out in November.

[llanbradach]

Fantastic, well put together and well played.

[MiaHill]

Hey! Awesome. I think the word haunting properly describes that. Again, I apologize for not responding for the past few days. Something new will be coming from me soon, I hope. At the moment I'm focusing more on my novel. I love your music and your film. I must admit that I also admire your vision and the way you express it. Keep up the good work.

Mia

[saintjug7]

what a brilliant piece of work. Well done. Maggie

[relishandbeans]

loved it man..beautiful..keep up the good work

[loumedla]

opening sounds like " Argiers " from the boxed set

Nice combo ending on the Ommadawn riff- I enjoy the visuals -stay off the Moors

[grzestelicki]

Very interesting video, great work!!! Greets from Poland

[tubulargard]

This is cool.. well done B)-~

[trichoone]

good filming and you sure seem to have talent there , i wish i could play the same i must say .

[Urgelt]

Fascinating. You've made of time a thing pliable; it stretches, curves back on itself, defies linear expectations. The Oldfield variations lack the linear intensity of so much modern music, and thus free the mind to drift away from its conventional moorings to the present. Quite enjoyable.

[footstepsonmars]

very cool video from the Mr Icecore a scientist of music and film

[KaFaraqGatri]

noticed there was an honour now on here.

RICHLY DESERVED.

[nemisistar]

Beautiful - makes me wish I could be there. Great job. Mike Oldfield is always good too - I especially like Water from a Vine Leaf. Thanks for the invitation and keep up the good work.

[Greenbookpro]

Nice, I like the visuals. Plus, the flashes and the layering really works well.

[KaFaraqGatri]

I thought that was BRILLIANT!!

[VioletKitty411]

I love the celtic feel. Are you familiar with a group called "Eden's Bridge"? I think they are actually Scottish, but their stuff all is very celtic. They are the group that is playing during my autobiographical video. Marvelous! 5Stars!!!

[TubularBelle]

This is really gorgeous, your visual goes with the audio brilliantly and don't tell Mike but I like your version of this little ditty even better. Your newest fan, Tracy.

P.S. I always thought Mike should have been Irish :)

Come and join us good people on the tubularnet forums.

[joezzq]

[TubularBelle]

[joezzq]
