That's true, mike oldfield didn't like his song being associated with a horror film plus he never went or saw the film for many years after. He tells this in several interviews
sorry to correct but this was offcourse not mike's first film music it was the exorsist, but with the exorcist his friend owner of Virgin Records Richard Branson used the music Tubularbells without the permission of mike, and with the movie the killing fields mike completely gave his permission and worked with the crew.
Saw that film again last week in German TV. This period of dominance of the Khmer Rouge was a horrible part of the Cambodian history. And it was also Mike Oldfield`s first film music. He arranged it with Eberhard Schoener, a famous german conductor.
ho amato questo film da subito...grande Joffè...grande Mike!

Of course you´re right peve1966 ;o)
Mike joined the crew, because he wanted to work on the music of "The killing fields". I agree :o)
