I love this record so much! Reminds me of when I was a young lad ;)

I haven't heard it for at least 20 years but after it was released I couldn't stop listening to this beautiful music. At that time I lived in Poland it was played on the radio very often back then, I still remember how Polish radio presenter tried to translate the word "Ommadawn" into Polish Since I couldn't speak the language I can't tell if he was able to. Now I read the story behind the title on Wikipedia, man, some puzzles take years to solve, some never do, but I still love the music

mike oldfield is the best musician of all to me,- the are hipper, there are better bands, there are funnier and all, but noone has made soundtracks for my/our lives like oldfield, except genesis, but oldfield just seemed to ejaculate the music!

@GusFolge.I honestly respekt your idea aboat Amoros Album from Mike Oldfield,because everybody listen and feel things like Music of theyr own way and Dimention,but i think you have not heard realy the Ommadawn Album,try it again and again till you injoy or understand it realy,this Album is without any Alternative,Mike Oldfield´s Master Work,and He must be J.S.Bach to make another Master Work like this Album,(Ommadawn),It seems to me like it takes me of a Travel around the Universe or Hyperverse.

Bought the original vinyl when issued. Then the "foreign" pressing which was even better.

Time has taught me how to play this: either with massive speakers or as I prefer, headphones and a subwoofer. You just need the physical vibe for some parts. The music is exquisite and a legal high.

Do you know that it will be an SACD edition, very soon?

@dunebasher1971 Hi and thanks for the correction. I'm not an expert on Mikes life. However I did watch a Branson documentary many years ago that talked about how he meet mike... I guess I got the story line off track .. but that's where I got the info form, Thanks Junknut.

[dunebasher1971]

@junknut21 Actually, Mike wasn't living in the backwoods when he first hooked up with Branson, he was living in London. He only moved to the countryside and became something of a recluse following the enormous success of Tubular Bells, which led to more pressure on him than he could handle at that time.

@GusFogle You may be right, I have not heard everything Mike Oldfield has recorded. I will listen to 'Amarok', on your recomendation.
