| Mike's Contribution: | The red sticker on the 1999 release states that Mike features on tracks 9,14,18 and 22. This is a misprint and it should say 21 instead of track 22. When the recording was first released no credit was given for Mike's playing on "Dance Of The Daonhe Sidhe". This was suspected to be due to copyright problems and it has never been officially confirmed that he did play on this track. However it certainly sounds like Mike. An Asian single "Dance Of The Daonhe Sidhe/The Unseelie Court" was released with a sticker claiming that Mike plays guitar on both tracks. "Dance Of The Daonhe Sidhe" is the same version that features on this album but the single contains an alternative version of "The Unseelie Court". The version of "The Unseelie Court" on the "Faerie Symphony" album is played entirely by Tom. AMAROK: The Original Mike Oldfield Mailing List claims that Mike plays on "The Unseelie Court" and does not play on the version of "Dance Of The Daonhe Sidhe" that appears on this album. However it seems that the information stated on the AMAROK page is incorrect, as it seems to have swapped the credits on these two tracks around. Thanks to Ulf Milanese for the original notes. |
