If you like Tubular Bells ... Try this one! It's BEAUTIFUL!

| Absolutely love it. Mike Oldfield is truly original -- when he's not stuck in the Disco groove, that is. If you love Tubular Bells I, I recommend this one, as well as Tubular Bells II. TB III is a little different, but I like that one too; and the music from Killing Fields. |

One of the best examples of Oldfield's work
Submitted on: 2009-06-30 |
|
As an avid listener to Mike Oldfield since 'Hergest Ridge' (endlessly played during an angsty youth!), his work has gone through numerous phases combining natural acoustic instruments, electric guitars and electronica but this is definitely one of the highlights for me where the blend works best.
Listening to it almost 15 years after release, it doesn't lose its interest nor sound too naff plus it works as a brilliant thematic accompaniment to Arthur C. Clarke's work. |

 The Songs of Distant Earth
Submitted on: 2009-03-20 |

The Songs of Distant Earth being Oldfield's 1994 release is based on
Arthur C. Clarke's science fiction novel Songs of Distant Earth and it sure is a dandy of a record. We can hear that he has taken cues from Enigma, Jean Michel Jarre, William Orbit and Vangelis. The booklet is very nice and blends perfectly with the space theme. 4/5. |

A Rare Masterpiece
Submitted on: 2009-01-11 |
|
| Mike Oldfield has been at the forefront of music composition for years, approaching it with a genius that compares only to that of classical composers. With this offering, Oldfield blends technology and melody in a way that removes the listener from the world around them and flies them to the far reaches of the galaxy -- an impressive contribution to the world of music. |
