Any of you familiar with Mike Oldfield? He is primarily an instrumentalist who uses a full orchestra and mixes all styles of guitar playing with it. His music is very different than the norm and will take time for some people to absorb. (Mike is most famous for the music from "The Exorcist")

I discovered his music completely by accident back in 2000 and have been a loyal fan ever since. His famous Tubular Bells II & III live recordings have been re-released as a dual-layer DVD in Japan and Europe. I recently got the Japan version and ripped it of its coding and copy protection so I could watch it on my TV. Both shows are INCREDIBLE! Mike's music is a bit "out there" but is really cool if you give it a chance. I really think some of you would like this stuff so I thought I'd mention it.

I'd gladly post some video clips if there is any interest.

Here's the DVD:

Yup, that's him. You'll see for yourself in the new DVDs you got. :)
