I had the vinyl record when it originally came out. It was damaged over the years so I got it again on CD. If you like Mike Oldfield, and I have liked most his stuff since the 1970's and the Exorcist soundtrack, it's worth adding to the collection. To me some tracks are better than others but overall a good idea of the range of Mike Oldfield in the 1980's.

Mike Oldfield's third studio recording marks the end of the most creative phase of his career. "Tubular Bells" explored an aggressive and improvised world of chaos and turmoil. "Hergest Ridge" presented listeners with the genteel and serene flip side of that world. "Ommadawn" is a step outward into a much larger and all encompassing world. It combines both the energy and serenity of his first two albums, but importantly expresses itself through shifting ethnic backdrops. Oldfield is for the first time acknowledging and utilising a `world music' ethic, with Celtic influences sitting comfortably with African influences. Many critics have seen the explosive finale to Side One as representing some form of cathartic rebirth for Oldfield, and certainly post "Ommadawn" he would enter into controversial ... Read More

5.Discovery by: Mike Oldfield August 15, 2000

"Discovery" was the album that instigated my life-long love of Mike Oldfield's music. I started with this album, went backwards and purchased the old stuff, then went forward with his new releases. What else can be said about this man that hasn't already been said? He constantly reinvents himself. When you start with the legendary "Tubular Bells" and listen to his albums chronologically, you can see how he changed, grew, and morphed his style. "Discovery" is a little more mainstream that Oldfield's earlier works, a trend that would continue in the years to come, but despite being recorded in 1984, you can listen to the album today and it would still fit in and not sound dated. Plus, there's always the instrumental "The Lake" to remind everyone that Oldfield is not just a great songwriter, he's an excellent ... Read More

I just cant understand how anyone could like such boring music.for interesting music I would suggest you to listen to music from bands like PINK FLOYD,LED ZEPPELIN,DEEP PURPLE,CREAM,FREE,BAD COMPANY and AC/DC instead.

Heard this CD while traveling on tour in the UK. I was very taken with it, and bought it when I got home. I can't believe how well it went with the English countryside as we traveled. Now it causes me to harken back to that trip! The music, in my opinion, is very beautiful with lots of different instrumentation and voices. There has to something everyone would love on the album.

I originally(many years ago) bought this on tape,I must have let someone "borrow" it and it was never returned,and so this CD was like visiting an old friend who I had not seen for years.It is still very good and really worth listening to(unlike some of his later rubbish)

It was always going to be a challenge for young musician Mike Oldfield to follow up the astonishing critical and commerical success of his debut album "Tubular Bells." Unprepared for the limelight of the media circus, the shy and introverted Oldfield headed for the calm and serenity of the Herefordshire countryside. Here he conceived his second album, one whose peaceful pastoral elegance would be overlooked by music critics who had disapproved of Oldfield's unwillingness to play the media game. "Hergest Ridge" was thus unfairly dismissed as the weaker progeny of "Tubular Bells", a dull sequel, much the same thing, but less inspired. "Hergest Ridge" instead is a subtle piece, a technical improvement on "Tubular Bells", with the rough edges of the latter smoothed over. It is less tough; less rushed, with an elegiac timeless feel, a wonderful ... Read More
