I seem to remember that Mike was a fan of Philip Glass as well, I seem to remember there was a track on Platinum?

I bought PG's "North Star" on the strength of that - the original version was a bit, ahem, was a bit 'different', ahem. Not as 'loose' as MO's version.

If anyone here has heard it - I think "The Draize Train" by the Smiths is like a funkier version of "North Star"

If you're a fan of Glass anyway, you'll love it.

Nearest recording I can think of is Glassworks but with more cheesy organ

But the original is much better then the Oldfield version which is not bad either. But it doesn't have the Glass atmosphere.

I really wonder exactly how the TD/TR gig would have been on 7.10.2007... if it had gone ahead......it may well have been the greatest TD gig ever

I think it would have been much more interesting to witness Edgar as the humble apprentice. At least this Greatest Hits concert included three perfect new tracks.

Did we ever get a statement from Riley himself?

Riley isn't really my thing I'm afraid, so it wouldn't have been the greatest IMO.

To be totally honest it did not matter on the evening as it was a cracker IMHO......
