  • I just love the sound of the oboe in this scene

  • Such a pity that he's lost the plot these days. He had a really unique musical vision and sense of rock orchestration. Then he became obsessed with computers and the fact that he had written Tubular Bells and had to keep quoting in in everything he wrote. TB, Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn were all different from each other and really special. I wish he would get back to playing the real instruments again and giving us some more things of beauty like this. Maybe the zeitgeist has left the building.

  • This was always one of may favourite Oldfiled albums and I have just listened to it again (in its entirety) for the first time in nearly 30yrs, some of the moods invoked by this are almost painfully moving at times -- for me. The only down side are the overly circuitous routes taken from one point of beauty to another. I think these albums are very much a thing of their time so to speak.

  • All Mikes recordings are in a league of their own this is beautiful Thanks for upload )0( J

  • Me encanta!!!, soy una de las mayores fans de Mike Oldfield, es el mejor guitarrista y músico de la historia.

  • I always preferred this to Tubular Bells. Sensational.

  • never actually listened to this album but i am now and love it perhaps for those of us who are not music performers but more listeners how do you follow on from Bells as a musician and the sucess of Bells was what everybody expected on this album and maybe thats where we as listeners should perhaps take on board when you have to rack your brain for inspiration after the first album i play and know its to keep the same vain on other works but a good album

  • @Dikaia22 Yes, to be able to write such a beautiful piece for an oboe when Mike doesn't play oboe is a testament to his talent as a composer.

  • @greenaissance well its only moving when there's an earthquake. mostly its just still.

    HAHAHAHHAAHHA!

    ..

    sorry.

  • Simply...amazing...Mike is...genious...no words

    Jack, from Brazil Mike's fan eternal...

  • mit dieser Musik verbinde ich meine erste grosse Liebe,Marianne,Marianne und Mike Oldfield passt.Dreams!
