I thought a Mike Oldfield song is a Magma song.  |

 I had to shut that Magma song off after 2 minutes. Life is just too short. Oldfield's song is quite quirky and never boring. |

"Tëha", but neither did much for me. -------------

An odd match really and I am a fan of both. Not sure of the motive here. |

Punkadiddle is such cutesy shameless fun I have to vote for it. That, and it's by my man Mike Oldfield. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Didn't Vander claim that Oldfield ripped off Tubular Bells from an unreleased part of MDK?

As almost all I ever heard from Magma is for some strange reason I cannot catch rather unlistenable for me (I don't understand the hype around Magma here...), Mike is thus easy winner. Although Punkadiddle isn't any special song IMHO. -------------

I'm actually not familiar with either song here, but I'm a much bigger Magma fan than I am of Oldfield. Will check out soon. ------------- Listen to older shows here: mixcloud.com/progrockdeepcuts/ |

Yes he did although clearly TB had a multitude of influences. No one else could have written and recorded this piece of music the way it was done so I'm tempted to say that Vander was bitter at not being able to make something this amazing. Having the germ of an idea is one thing but doing a full blown modern intrumental masterpiece is another.. However there was something else that influenced Oldfield even more than Magma and I confess I have forgotten what it was and am too lazy to research it properly.

Personally, I prefer MDK to Tubular Bells, but it does seem odd to me that he would claim Oldfield ripped him off. Tubular Bells doesn't sound particularly Vander-ish. Anyway, I don't necessarily agree with Vander, I just find the supposed connection between the two to be rather intriguing. ------------- Listen to older shows here: mixcloud.com/progrockdeepcuts/ |

Supposedly Oldfield was present at a Magma recording session in 1972 (when he was Kevin Ayers' bassist). I can't remember the exact piece Mike was accused of stealing. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

Magma, Tëha.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |
