Originally released in 1975, this looks to be Mike Oldfield's third lp on CD reissue. Personally, I don't remember much about Oldfield, except of course for his Grammy award winning debut 'Tubular Bells' record. Not that this is exactly my cup of tea, but I have to admit this CD is quite a compelling piece of 'new age' work. Just two lengthy tracks, "Ommadawn,Part 1"(19:23) and "Ommadawn,Part 2"(13:54). Mike Oldfield plays several instruments, like guitar, bass, keyboards and percussion. The rest of the line-up on this record is simply too extensive to list here. Just might appeal to some fans of Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre and Pat Metheny.
