"Wonderful Land" is an instrumental piece which was released as a single by The Shadows in 1962. It stayed at #1 in the UK for more weeks than any other single during the whole of the 1960s. Its main riff was apparently used for the intro to "Dreamlover", a hit for Mariah Carey in 1993.
Mike Oldfield version
Oldfield's "Wonderful Land".
English musician Mike Oldfield covered "Wonderful Land" on his 1980 QE2 album. Oldfield's version was also released as a single and as the B-side for his "Sheba" single; in some countries, "Wonderful Land" was the a-side. The Shadows later covered one of Oldfield's songs, "Moonlight Shadow".
The video for "Wonderful Land" again shows Oldfield playing various instruments, including a violin, which he has claimed not to be able to play very well.[1] The video is available on the Elements - The Best of Mike Oldfield video.

es curioso cuanto menos ver a oldfield "tocando" el violín pues aunque ha escrito música para ser tocada con él según sus palabras es un instrumento que "no toca" y ademas es "incapaz de sacarle alguna nota.... la música es sublime! saludos amig@s!
