His period with Maggie Reilly was the best. Her voice is brillant. They should do something together again.

How brilliant is Mike Oldfield!
How relevant is his early discography to this day and age.
all 3 Tubular Bells albums are of major significance in music.
My personal favourite is The Songs of Distant Earth, an incredible journey into the world of the metaphysical and the unreal.
Brought back to the world spotlight during the 2012 Olypmics reignited his career and a new generation has started to follow.

Hi,
Everybody knows Mike Oldfield from his soundtrack:: Exorcist (Tubular bells) & his latest presence at the Olympic Games in London 2012.
I bought Amarok when I was 15 years of age. Now I'm 38 years old.
Amarok is one of the albums that I listen so once in a while and that for the last 23 years...
The CD cover has a little story inside about 2 men who are walking to a huge 'Golden statue' that's making a noise or sound witch can be felt and heard. But you can't explain it to someone else.
Yesterday when I cleaned up a secondhand Denon Micro set AMP. I first listened to Amarok to test the system.
I truly believe that Mike Oldfield made a Masterpiece with this.
Throughout the Musical sound scape, Mike uses all kinds of techniques & sounds in such a way, that the most stupid listener is forced to finds the zero point of truthfully knowing how Sounds, Instruments, Harmonie, Rhythm & Natural structures are blend together.
If you hear the Golden Statue? Then Mike has penetrated your brain and has given you the most beautiful gesture you can get.
:: Natural connection between brain and ear ::
Musical shock therapia I want to call it.
I still can enjoy the programming of different styles and there blending.
I've been a Studio Amateur DJ who was keen on a proper, tight, smooth blending mix.
Amarok was my foundation to find other great music.
Regards,
Marcel S

I really started dig Oldfield after his well documented crazy excursions to Ibiza, however that all came surprisingly after he had laid down FOREIGN AFFAIR his sunset masterpiece. Never released on its own, it was hidden away on his CRISES LP way back in the melted roads of 1983. And yeah you’ve probably walked past it in charity shops a thousand times thinking it was an intense one note with bongos collection but I tell you it’s a tune to behold. Also forget about those beard heads that babble on about Tubular Bells, because we all know that only sounds good when you’re sat in a field in Dorset, cranking a giant cone as you tuck into mummy’s fresh salmon hamper. However, Mike’s redemption can be found in this elegant chill out anthem. The aching dream like vocals of Maggie Reilly set you in a perfect mood and transport you elsewhere. While the whistling synths and oceanic sweeps create a sun bleached backdrop to die for…. Just close your eyes and its instant beach action!

Personally, as much as I feel respect for Oldfield (mostly because of his earlier work), his current adventures in new age or whatever that's called seem more like a big fart - too ambitious and lush orchestrations but no particular direction... and sometimes it's just too serious to be taken seriously...
