There's no question that the original Tubular Bells would be a tough act to follow. Follow it Mike Oldfield certainly did with this delightful album which I originally bought on vinyl. It's lyrical and soft moods are interspersed with moments of great passion and drama. It was never meant to compete with his first release and indeed if Mike's mission was to complement it, then he definately succeded! Having unintentionally lost my vinyl collection a few years ago, I've been gradually replacing those LPs with CDs. With Ommadawn (re-released) I was more than happy to welcome back an old friend. If you were amazed, awed, inspired or just overwhelmed by Tubular Bells, then you will love Ommadawn.
This is an early work that shows the workings of someone who had already become a genius in his field. Anyone discovering Mike Oldfield years later would not understand this masterpiece.
