I've done the search option and gave no result about a previous thread of this master of music.

 

I think he deserves a thread so here it goes.

Tubular Bells is a very good album IMO

 

 

 

Enjoy the concert :cool:^^

 

(Note: The links are to youtube, to watch the concert, aren't links to download).

Who?

 

 

Who?

 

are you joking? You like Pink Floyd, you like Led Zeppelin, and you don't know who Mike Oldfield is?

 

No.

 

The 3 links are part of the same album "Platinum".

My dad introduced me to tubular bells when i was pretty young, so i have a deep rooted liking for those albums.

Moonlight Shadow

^this one is performed by Noah Oldfield, Mike's son, just a curiousity that i had found some time ago :nice: (is a short vid).

Thought he was awesome last night. Never really took an interest in him before.

^ Seconded. His bit from the ceremony was pretty neat.

It made me so happy! I am such an admirer of his works. It was amazing, AISJHDUAWHDANWAHD

I grew up with his music. One of the best composers/artists/songwriters/guitarists ever. I love his versality, his love for traditional music and the way he combines it with prog rock, new wave, ambient and new age.

My favourite albums are Platinum, Discovery and Voyager, but he did also masterpieces like Tubular Bells, Amarok and Ommadawn or great albums like QE2, Crises and Light&Shade.

Even his pop catalogue is quite good, and I don't talk about Moonlight Shadow (that I think is quite overrated, maybe because they always play only this song on the radio), but about Foreign Affair, Family Man, Nothing But/Bridge To Paradise, Man In The Rain and so on...

I love the song "To France" :)

I love the....Blue Peter theme by Mr Oldfield! [emoji3]
