Mike Oldfield - Amarok

[TomateFouree]

this music shows that the lenght of the song really doesn't matter :D

[lennonglass]

una excelente obra musical, eres grande mike

[MusicNexusArchives]

I listened to this song for the first time last night, I have no idea how many times I've listened to it since then, this is just so awesome

[PavelBalak]

This was my first LP with Oldfield. I bought it when I was 15 and I didn't like it at all. Although since then I like his music, I didn't return to this album. Then 20 years later I stumbled on this link and I couldn't stop listening. It's just GREAT. This album and Ommadawn are his best. Thanks for upload

[DanielL5583]

I have listened to this all the way through countless times.

Why? Because Mike Oldfield makes some of the greatest music ever. This is a perfect example of his god-like musical ability.

[TomateFouree]

the imitation of Margaret Tatcher at the end is pure awesomeness :p

[BringItBackITV]

Can someone direct me to the Margaret Thatcher bit.

[mooglyboo]

The Morse code that Cracked refers to starts at 48:00. But the entire section from 44:44 to 51:05 should be listened to on head phones late at night, to get the full effect.

[AmarokYT]

@mooglyboo I think you mean the section starting from 00:00 through 1:00:02.

[JimJamtheSailor]

I would have actually bought this.

[ShitbagsGroup]

thank you cracked for teaching me about the world

[SebaChannel]

i listenned to this completely, and i really think it is no rock, just progressive music

i read somewhere that this was progressive rock

[questionman5]

How the hell do you upvote comments?

[lcjj7]

Came from Cracked, stayed for Oldfield.

[sirReginaldFartsalot]

First part sounds like Geth music.

[Pandatalks]

This is the kind of stuff Frank Zappa used to compose from time to time.

[krzykanuk3]

@Pandatalks As a FZ and Mike Oldfield die hard fan, FZ never produced or wrote anything close to this.

FZ RIP

Mike, never pass away

[Pandatalks]

This is seriously amazing music:)

[charli9621]

Oldfield egy zseni!

Bármely zenei stílusban tud nagyot alkotni.

Az amarok talán a legjobb albuma, akárhányszor is hallom nem tudom megunni.

[repmekevets]

overall, i think this is pretty great.. but the random, high-volume, synth slams are just straight awful.

[ShootaFodder]

Wait what? What's cracked? :)) Welcome to the world of Mike btw guys. But yea seriously what is cracked?

[rendros88]

@ShootaFodder cracked dot com is a comedy site. They write all kinds of articles, apparently one of them mentioned the song.

[TheDDM1974]

Perhaps the master piece of oldfield and the most unknown music of all his work !!!

ps: I lov the imitation of margaret thatcher !

[TheDDM1974]

Thanks for the share !

[OliHorsleyMedia]

Mars Volta's got nothing on this in terms of Prog.

[maggproductions]

@OliHorsleyMedia fuck mars volta

[freaker1990]

I'm really looking forward to hooking some E and listening to this.

[FingalsCave]

Splendid; seldom does an hour go by so quickly!

P.S. Thumbs sideways if you thought this video would be

about cabinet hardware manufacture.

[keladry12]

Wow Cracked, this is actually pretty good.

[Akhiloth]

Welcome, new generation of Oldfield lovers. Cracked did you a great service.

(The "fuck off RB"-part starts at 48:02, for those who are here just for that.)

[SlapAttackGames]

Richard Branson advert, ironic...

[Reflectomadness]

Fucking Master Piece!!

[D1Puck1T]

Now there's a man that knows how to use a glockenspiel.

[dunstanofgreen]

Fuck off RB!

[TheDollarCasual]

Where's the womp womp? This dubstep sucks!

[LudgeONRS]

This is amazing. I want this album!

[HeyItsCdub]

I wasn't planning on listening to the full hour o.o

[HoneypieTheLover]

THAT. WAS. AWESOME.

[GrimHeaperThe]

Good music doesn't let me get bored.

[CGQRT4]

I loved this years before Cracked...

[BrendanOC]

@CGQRT4 Do you want a cookie or a special sticker for your achievement?

[CGQRT4]

@BrendanOC In all honesty, I was poking fun at those who make such statements. This track is gold, and it should get all the exposure it can get! However, I just might retract that statement if cookies are involved.. I love cookies.. chocolate chip? :)

[Kardz9]

@BrendanOC hey, he can't help it. he's a self righteous d-bag

[Pretzelpod]

Holy crap this is amazing!

[Metal4Life1975]

I need more flageolet! /Christopher Walken accent

[epsilonace]

Anyone else get a gunslinger/cyberpunk/Deus Ex/Blade Runner kinda vibe ?

[SangosEvilTwin]

call me strange, but I actually like this.

[MetalizedButt]

Better than dubstep

[ravenkiller1]

I like it

[1957pinup]

I don't care if he was pissed, if I spent money on this garbage I'd be the one who was pretty pissed.

[Asparagoose]

Nowadays, the RB could very well be Rebecca Black.

[popcornbebop]

kinda reminds me of PUPPY GRISTLE

[Lildimps420]

Lol @ everyone from cracked..this music is so goofy

[Bvenged505]

@Lildimps420 It's not even music, really - which is the point and the very reason we're all here from a humour site.

[xXxspacebeanxXx]

@Bvenged505 Anything can be music. As long as the composer wills it to be music and the listener conceives it as such also.

[PrestonDowMusic]

@xXxspacebeanxXx frank zappa

[HoodlumFamily]

@Bvenged505 incorrect

[Blade3327]

Incidentally, the song that starts at around 44:47 is one of my favorite parts.

[MrTp1968]

und kleiner tip sowas muss man laut hören^^

[MrTp1968]

tja leute irgendwann finden wir alle richtige musik

[excerciseorc]

from cracked and im glad i checked this one out.

[Kardz9]

dude, 3:46 in freaked me out cuz i was using headphones

[twilightless]

Just came here from Cracked. Never thought I would love an hour long song so much! Fantastic.

[ARRDARMA]

Fell in love with it as soon as I heard it.

[DarkBangle]

Guh, why have I not heard of this sooner! I am in love with this music now. <3

[AnonXVI]

3:45 Scared the holy fuck out of me.

[macsnafu]

I should have guessed that the whole darned thing would be on Youtube!

[Zzyyxxyyxx]

Needs more flageolet.

[nherting]

HOLY SHIT

[TomJansen785]

I came here from Cracked too.

[Whit933]

@TomJansen785 Me, too!

[TheRichieRiot]

I bet hipsters just LOVE this album

[TheSaltCitySound]

@TheRichieRiot hahahaha this is by far the best comment.

[HFBSmashups]

"Fuck off RB" Heheh..

[RyanYardComposer]

Please watch my youtube video as I am trying to get Amarok performed by Piano Circus in an arrangement for six pianos and really need everybody's support!

[Pandatalks]

So creative and so innovative:),

[Pandatalks]

Probably one of the greatest pieces of all time

[Pandatalks]

Beyond Incredible

[Pandatalks]

Genius

[TheMaxiimus]

simplesmente a melhor (just the best)

[SuperStarian]

[ShootaFodder]

Just amazing :)

[wmrxb15]

A creative, innovative, uplifting and unconventional MASTERPIECE

Rich

[nexustony]

si hubiese prolongado mas la sintonia del minuto 20,hubiese sido una musica de culto,disco raro con pedazos de sintonias geniales pero con poco tiempo de duracion,desaprovecho los momnetos de inspiracion de este album,pudo haberle sacardo mas partido,si lo hubiese hecho asi seria una obra maestra,no como ahora una amalgama de retazos geniales mezclados con rarezas.debio pensar mejor y sacar mas partido.porke en este disco hay piezas geniales.

[peterfunboy]

Top upload thanks mate. As for the 4 dislikes.... well I am afraid there is no hope for them as they are beyond saving.

[funkyfingerstyle]

best Mike Oldfield of all time..can't ever hear this enough...a master.

[lokomunitis]

Sin duda, junto con ommadawn lo mejor de oldfield!!!!!

[fedegraphic11]

è un genio!

[ommadawn1976]

HEALTH WARNING: This record could be hazardous to the health of cloth-eared nincompoops. If you suffer from this condition, consult your Doctor immediately

[musicmama888]

this almost seems like a folksy soft version of Dragonforce.

[zoli5959]

I love it!

[TheCryingmary]

great job friend,i couldn't find this full album,thanks,good sharing...

[01maroist]

hát, ez qrva jó

kösz a feltöltést

[jimmy500]

Simply super.

[saluja12345]

Arguably the best album by Mike Oldfield - allegedly made in so many intermingled parts that Branson couldn't get a single from it. 'It is said' that Branson had wanted a ''Tubular Bells 2''. After this, Mike went to Warner Records (I think) and made..... Tubular Bells 2!! Brilliant. Astonishing album. I bought it just befor e a month's holiday around France. It brings so much emotion with it. ''HAPPY?'' - absolutely. PS the 3 dislikes are clearly cloth-eared nincompoops!!

[theevhorscope]

@saluja12345

Quite funny! One of the best Mike Oldfield works, if not the best, has been made to spite his no longer loved musical mentor :D

[AmarokYT]

@theevhorscope Musical mentor? Hahahahahahahaha... happy?

[oldfield15mayo]

Todo el que ha descubierto Amarok....nunca entendería a Mike Oldfield sin Amarok.....posiblemente su mejor obra maestra despues de Tubular Bells y Ommadawn...

[xfbeni]

his best album :-) love it!

[BlackGaladriel]

This album is part of my childhood... <3

[lennonglass]

una de sus 4 mejores obras, mike eres un genio

[JazzCarr0t]

I don't want to say this is the Greatest piece of music ever written. But it is, so I will.

[hirnlegorush]

absolut geniale scheibe !!1 ^^

[beepgrooves]

A masterpiece. Produced using no compression so the dynamic range is quite wide.

[ANGELNOYA]

Desde que con catorce años descubrí a Mike Oldfield, mi mundo interior encontró una banda sonora perfecta.

No era yo un tipo tan raro. Había alguien más dispuesto a musicalizar mis sueños.

Amarok es para mi su obra mas cercana al verdadero amante de su música. Encuentro en ella su envolvente sonido, el ritmo del que ya no puedo despegarme, la guitarra que llora, la que ataca, la riqueza de sonidos e instrumentos, las voces en perfecto acompañamiento...

Es mi Mike prefererido!

(Lanzarote)

[wcracker3000]

Ya somos dos, yo tb lo descubrí con 14 años y a lo largo de mi vida siempre a tenido cabida en muchísimos momentos importantes. Larga vida a Mike!!!

[jorgecalderon48940]

Thank you!



[oldfield15mayo]

greatest MO masterpiece

[sharpfang]

Now you should put the storyabout clotheared nincompoops from the case insert in the video description.

[Applemask]

MARGARET THATCHER COMES OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE

[DeZaragoza]

I heard this album....i dont know...150 times?

[AstroOldenburg]

@vanXerxe

Yes, hear this outstanding masterpiece again and again and again and ... ;-)

[Lux583]

Grande album!!!!!

[MegaJinsei]

maestro

[666767]

got this on lp fucking masterclass in recording

[vinimax96]

i have this music on my mp4 and it's a great music.and one question: what's the longest music in a unique part?

[Akhiloth]

Holy shit, the entire thing here on YouTube? I was certainly not expecting to actually find this.

[oldfield15mayo]

los últimos 20 minutos de Amarok no tienen precio... simplemente espectaculares.........

[oldfield15mayo]

There are not words to describe Amarok.. so peaceful, so hard, so irritable, so quiet and nice.... Amarok is one of the most incredible pieces never made, a Mike Oldfield angry made one of his best albums............. so unknown for most of the people, only reach for a few.

A great masterpiece.

[thebellsde]

0:54:24 - End !!!!

And the best is the code for F.R.B.

[spekulatiusfrank]

Schade, ich habe echt geglaubt, Mike hätte zu Amarok ein Video gemacht. Trotzdem, auch ohne, eines der besten Werke von ihm. Mir tut jeder leid, der Amarok nicht kennt, bzw wer nicht die Geduld hat es zu Ende zu Hören

[kpvw68]

his best album I think

[HonzaJV]

Crazy man :oD

Best cd !

[daniel202pl]

grande!

[braincloth]

i love the creativeness of this, from an amazing composer :)

[TheCamelFactor]

Amarok is a relatively easy album to purchase respectfully suggest you try Amazon. Here is a link to buy the album from Amazon Uk.

As you say Brilliant Album....

PS: Youtube won't permit me to include the link.

[sslfsociety]

Why is it so hard to find a CD for this? I've literally looked everywhere for it. It's the most awesome of what anybody can call awesome, the best thing he ever wrote, and I can't find it anywhere.

[havin34]

@sslfsociety It is downloadable at Kickass torrents...That's the best solution until you can find yourself a proper copy...I have both a store copy which I rarely use and a version I had downloaded before from the site I suggested to you...I hope that helps you...

[BlueNeon81]

@sslfsociety This album is easy to find anywhere, mostly the HDCD remaster is still available.

[DeKalblu]

My favorite from Mike Oldfield. His climax as a composer imho, unfortunately...

[Progamelanet]

Its so great classic album from Mike !!!

[artofox]

thank you for this upload Francescodraghi1989.

[chrismadmonk]

@artofox thanx mate thought i was the only one,,

this album made me to london, powerful.

love MIKE wo00000,,...

[PICLex]

@sheangoosman

yep RB is a criminal :)

[thebellsde]

@PICLex  yes FRB

[atheistfromaustria]

One of the top 5 greatest music productions of all time! Got my first copy in 1990 on MC, listened to it several 100 times and it remains stunning, overwhelming unreachable masterpiece!

[PICLex]

@atheistfromaustria

Well said!

[thediceman001]
