The real Tubular Bells,
By Thinderchild (Liverpool) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ommadawn (Audio CD)
As much as I like Tubular Bells it pales in comparison to Ommadawn. Here with the advantages of time, experience and better recording facilities Oldfield pushes the boundaries of his unique style of Progressive Rock to it's ultimate conclusion.Altogether more Celtic in feel than TB, you will not find much on this album except virtuoso musicianship and spiritual exploration. Quite simply his best album.

Stand up and take a bow, Mr Oldfield !!,
By
This review is from: Ommadawn (Audio CD)
Hard to believe this wonderful piece of music is now over 30 years old.A truly beautiful production that still captivates today.Although he has produced some fantastic stuff over many years, in my opinion he never bettered this.It gets inside your head and simply refuses to leave again !Guitars,pipes,drums,stunning background vocals,this is an album you could happily play every day of your life and never tire of it.Do yourself a favour and buy it today !!

Oldfield's Best, but Faulty Remaster.,
By unicorn27 (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ommadawn (Audio CD)
When I first heard Ommadawn (from the Gaelic word "amadan" meaning "fool" or "idiot"), back in 1975 it changed the way I looked at music. It cannot be stated enough that this is Oldfield's crowning glory.However, the remaster (MIKECD4) is lacking. Listing to other remasters from the same period, it is clear that they didn't spend nearly enough time on this. There is little improvement from the original CD release (CDV 2043). Also, there is a rather annoying click at 11:11 into Part 2. Hopefully, they will return to this and give it the attention it deserves.
