The Platinum Collection

Search: Ommadawn
by: Mike Oldfield

Release Date March 13, 2006
Just to correct one of the other reviewers, I don't know which Sally Oldfield Terry Alexander is refering to (both Mike's wife and sister are called Sally), but neither of them sing on these songs. Tracks like Moonlight Shadow, Family Man, Mistake, and most others are performed by the wonderful Maggie Reilly.

I have almost all the other Mike Oldfield albums, but none of them contain extended versions or 12" mixs (some of which are better than the originals). This album is perfect for people who are just discovering Mike's work, and for completists.

Ommadawn [VINYL]

Search: Ommadawn
by: Mike Oldfield

Release Date April 23, 2001
This album is so awesome I really don't know what else to say. It is very short, around 36 minutes in total. Two instrumental parts. Each of them shines on its own. Fantastic melodies, amazing build ups to climaxes, and one of the best guitar solos ever (at the end of the second instrumental).

The first part starts with a repetition of the same spanish guitar over and over, with some minor break ups and linkages. This builds up to a passage in which, well, it's difficult to say. If you've got a good stereo you can feel stuff flying and flapping around you. Continues with a small melody that builds up on guitar to a really dark passage with an amazing sequence of african drums accompanied by quite a lot of top guitar wizardry. It ends ... Read More:

Ommadawn

Search: Ommadawn
by: Mike Oldfield

Release Date March 27, 1997
Ommadawn is simply a classic album. It takes the best of his first two albums Tubular Bells and Hergest Ridge and transcends them into one of the most beautiful albums he ever produced. Track one is probably the most harmonious however the vibrancy of the finale on track two is a breath taking crescendo. If you find this music awe-inspiring then the next album to buy is Incantations.
