MIKE OLDFIELD: From the first time I heard Tubular Bells it was clear that Mr. Oldfield was something different and special. The vision and incredible execution of that album was unlike anything I’d heard and it was truly inspiring, and funny enough considered “new age” music. Then came “Hergest Ridge” which I love and the magical “Ommadawn” which hit on some kind of organic, hybrid music that came from some other place…a magical album. It remains up there as a record I put on when I want to be calm but still aware. There are so many great albums in his catalog but the other one that’s amazing to me is “Amarok” which as I understand was all played and constructed manually in pieces. Sadly the record company didn’t do any promotion and were hoping for “Tubular Bells II” which didn’t come until much later. Either way Mike is a special talent who has gifted us with so much wonderful music. #mikeoldfield #tubularbells #ommadawn #virginrecords #amarock #fuzzguitar #fairlight #homestudio #mistersynthi #synthzeit #electronicmusic #synthesizer #synths #vintagesynth #analogsynth #modularsynth #synthesis #electronica #keyboards #composer #synthwave #recording #studiolife #sounddesign #sequencer #drummachine #sampling #synthpop #darkwave #ambientmusic
