Tubular Beats - CD

Mike Oldfield: Tubular Beats versie op CD in standaard editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Duitsland bij uitgeverij Ear Music op 20. augustus 2013.

Mike Oldfield ist ein unvergleichlicher Künstler. Innerhalb der letzten Jahrzehnte schrieb er zeitlose und einzigartige Musik wie den Klassiker "Tubular Bells" (1973) oder die Hit-Singles "Moonlight Shadow" und "To France". Er war mit über 30 Alben und 25 Singles in den UK-Charts vertreten und wurde weltweit mit Platin, Gold und Silber ausgezeichnet. Nun macht er das Undenkbare möglich: er remixt gemeinsam mit dem mehrfach mit Platin ausgezeichneten deutschen Produzenten Torsten "York" Stenzel (u. a. Taucher, DJ Sakin & Friends, Zusammenarbeit mit Faithless, Moby, Tina Turner, ATB) seine größten Hits. "Tubular Beats" enthält die besten und bekanntesten Song von Mike Oldfield in einem neuen, tanzbaren Stil. Die Remixe wurden aus den originalen Aufnahmespuren gewonnen und für einige Songs spielte Mike Oldfield neue Gitarrenparts ein. Das Album enthält Klassiker wie "Tubular Bells", "To France" und "Moonlight Shadow" in frischen, tanzbaren Versionen. Mike Oldfield was very creative throughout Remixprozesses, and that's even more important - man hört aus jeder neuen Version eindeutig den originalen Song von damals. "Tubular Beats" ist Mike Oldfield und Elektro pur! Aber nicht nur das - auf "Tubular Beats" wird auch der brandneue Song "Never Too Far" mit der ehemaligen Nightwish-Sängerin Tarja Turunen vorgestellt. Keine andere Künstlerin beeinflusste und erschaffte den weiblichen Symphonic Metal mehr als sie und auch hier betört und verzaubert die Sängerin mit ihrer einzigartigen Stimme. Product Information earMUSIC is proud to announce the release of the brand new remix album "Tubular Beats" by Mike Oldfield. The album will feature some of Oldfield's most popular tracks, who has worked on new arrangements and new sounds for his songs. All tracks have been reworked from the original multi-track recordings and co-mixed by Mike Oldfield and multi-platinum award winning German producer Torsten "York" Stenzel. Mike Oldfield's newly recorded guitar parts were added to the mix, making Tubular Beats a new album in every way. The album closes with a brand new song featuring former Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen. Mike Oldfield and Torsten Stenzel had already collaborated before "Tubular Beats", but on this new album the pair were able to combine their styles for the first time in a fully fleshed out project that added their approach and flair to Oldfield's best known tracks with all the solutions electronic music has to offer. Classics like "Tubular Bells," "To France" and "Moonlight Shadow" shine again through fresh and danceable new versions. Mike Oldfield maintained creative control throughout the production and despite the "new clothes" the songs manage to retain their original melodies and structure while being completely new. "Never Too Far" is a brand new song featuring singer Tarja Turunen, who unsurprisingly offers one of her most emotional performances ever, as Oldfield is one of the singer's heroes. Tarja explains, "Here's the thing: "It was a great pleasure to work with Mike Oldfield. The song turned out even better than I could have ever expected. Mike has a rich career and experience in pop, instrumental and electronic music. I love his music and his distinctive guitar sound. My work on this song was inspired by Mike's song "Islands", which features another idol from my youth: Bonnie Tyler. A way to thank them for the nice tunes I grew up on was to add a line from their hit. And I believe Mike liked the idea, too. That's how 'Never Too Far' was born. I hope you enjoy the song as much as I did." On the artists, "We all worked hard to get to the songs we recorded: Mike Oldfield is no stranger to dance and electronic music. His recent productions have often featured the typical hallmarks of electronic music, such as heavy bass drums and electro-bass lines. The dance scene in Ibiza has always been an inspiration for him, as he lived there for several years. In 2005 Oldfield collaborated with German electronic artist Schiller (7 million albums sold) on the track "Morgentau" on the album "Tag und Nacht" (number 5 in the German album chart). In a career spanning nearly forty years, Mike Oldfield has created timeless, unique and inspiring music, captivating listeners around the world and influencing musicians of all stripes. His 1973 hit album "Tubular Bells" is one of Virgin Records' best-selling recordings of all time, and the 1983 single "Moonlight Shadow" is one of the most popular hits of the 1980s. Mike Oldfield has more than 30 albums and 25 singles in the UK charts alone, leading to an endless string of multi-platinum, gold and silver awards, plus a Grammy Award. In Torsten "York" Stenzel, Oldfield found the perfect artistic partner. The dance and pop producer has 10 gold and platinum awards, an "Echo" nomination and more than three million records sold. The mastermind behind such classics as "The Awakening," "On The Beach" and "Addicted," he worked on Taucher, DJ Sakin & Friends and Suspicious in the early '90s. He has worked with such names as Moby, Faithless, All Saints, Chris Rea, Tina Turner, ATB, Tarja Turunen, Jennifer Paige and many more. Torsten Stenzel has previously worked with Tarja Turunen and contributed songs to her platinum debut album "My Winterstorm" and her 2010 album "What Lies Beneath". (ear-music. net)
