wow, this guys music is absolutely awesome! But why is it i'm not eager to tell my friends of my new music discovery?
At first i thought he was just a one hit wonder with Tubular Bells but a lot of his other albums are even better, The Songs of Distant Earth, Ommadawn, Five Miles Out...
Anyone else a fan?

I can't think of Mike Oldfield now without imaginaning, Moon Light Shadow playing while the environmentalist guy minces down the road past burning tires. What was that show? The fast Show?

Reason nr1. by Dirty Priest:
"My dad used to play this one when i was kid."
Reason nr.2: You don't want your friends to suspect that you could have a pair of bleached tight fitting jeans with denim blouse to match hiding in your closet.

oh god yes, Mike Oldfield's music is fantastic. I've just listened to Tubular bells twice today. I think I've probably heard it over a thousand times at least.
I'm really in the mood now. For the weekend I think I'll have a few plays of hergest ridge, incantations and ommadawn just to get it out of my system. (until the next time).

When i was at high school another (male) student tried to seduce me by inviting me over to his house to listen to Mike Oldfield.

music of the spheres sounds really pompous, in a bad way.. his titles like 'musica universalis' (wtf?) combined with the ultracheesy arrangements doesnt make this very pleasant.
never the less it does sound like a score for a movie and has some good ideas, but it does give off a rather self important image which turns me off

Meh, I own Tubular Bells, and parts of it are nice. I know he played all the instruments himself (I think), but it still sounds sloppily done.
