A spectacular sonic experiment from a master of progressive rock
An early '80s masterpiece that was the fruition of Mike Oldfield's musical ambitions.
Known for "Tubular Bells," his music is expressed in a more mature form on this album. The title track's grand scale and meticulous structure explore the limits of progressive rock. The sonic world, made full use of multi-track recording techniques, invites the listener into unknown territory.
