new Mike Oldfield album

[bob_32_116]

Oldfield says "looking on social media I see that everybodys favourite albums seem to be the first three,
those that are over forty years old, and Ommadawn even moreso than Tubular Bells, I think that is because it
a genuine piece of music as opposed to a production; hands, fingers, fingernails, I didn't have a goal, I was not
trying to please anyone other than myself, it was spontaneous music making, full of life.
so I think a "return to ommadawn" is also a return to my true self"

Interesting that Oldfield makes this comment, because I have always found Tubular Bells less satisfying than some of his other works, for this very reason.
