This is from David Bedford's Album "Instructions for Angels" released in 1977 in collaboration with Mike Oldfield. In certain sections you can hear that Mike is influenced by the work on his next album "Incantations" which was released in 1978.
At 3:36 is a picture which shows David with Mike taken about the time this track was recorded.

    One incredible composition. I've heard it before on a scratchy bootleg, so it's nice to hear such a clear example of it. This just rings in your head; it's aptly named. I was entranced as a youngster by my Dad's recording of Incantations and David Bedford's Odyssey.

    They key change at 2.55 sends an enormous shiver down my spine when I listen to this.

    I wish so much that MO would return to this kind of music. As guitar solos go, I'd take a lot of convincing it can be topped. By anyone.

    This among many others is an amazing peice of David's.

    Not only was he an amazing composer, he was just such an amazing person. I could go into great detail, but I won't.

    I would know because he was my Grandfather.

    Rest in Peice Grandad.. Your music will have people remember you for years to come.

    One of Oldfield's greatest pieces of guitar work. In fact I'd go so far as to say all his best bits are on Bedford compositions! Just sublime!

    Im just trawling through my record collection (its gone - but as i remember things) and enter names from well kent musical pieces. The name David Bedford had annoyed me for some time (in a good way) and when i came across instruction for angels it came flooding back. Truely wonderful. RIP David and all those that leave a legacy.

    Sorry for the loss of your grandfather last year. I wrote a piece of music in his memory. YouTube won't allow links to other film clips, but it's Bradnor Hill, by Sweep, uploaded by Infinite9ths.
