Have you ever wondered what it would be like hear the sound of the Tubular Bells chiming at sunrise on top of Hergest Ridge at the Ommadawn of a new day? Looking out to sea from the top of the ridge, you'd be able to see the sun casting its delicate Incantations of light across a calm Platinum silver sea. In the distance, you might be lucky enough to see the QE2 sailing Five Miles Out from Southampton, where the lucky passengers are temporarily escaping the world's Crises by embarking on a voyage of Discovery to exotic tropical Islands. A voyage aboard a luxury cruise liner promises to be an Earth Moving experience of a lifetime, where you could sail to the exotic island of Amarok in Indonesia, or witness a tropical monsoon when the Heavens Open over Java. It's almost as exotic as the astronauts who journeyed to the Moon aboard gleaming silver rockets, which glinted in the Sun like Tubular Bells II of stainless steel. As the space travellers journeyed into orbit around the Moon, they'd hear The Songs of Distant Earth aboard their Voyager spacecraft. Maybe they'd listen to Tubular Bells III and the distinctive sound of Mike Oldfield's Guitars, whilst the tolling of The Millennium Bell on the album announces the beginning of a new century. The Tres Lunas (or three lunar astronauts) would be travelling between Light + Shade as their spacecraft orbits the Moon, where the Music of the Spheres can be heard across space and time. Maybe one day in the not too distant future, a spacecraft will land a Man on the Rocks of Mars, before the long journey home and a welcome Return to Ommadawn here on Earth.

Ah how I love Oldfield, let's see...
1) Amarok - Amarok 2) Tubular Bells - Tubular Bells Part 1 3) Ommadawn - Ommadawn Part 1 4) Incantations - Incantations Part 3 5) Platinum - Platinum (I'm counting this as 1 track) 6) Crises - Crises 7) Tubular Bells 2 - Altered State 8) Hergest Ridge - Hergest Ridge Part 2 (Such an overrated album IMO) 9) Tubular Bells III - Far Above The Clouds 10) Return to Ommadawn - Return to Ommadawn Part 1 One of my favorites, I should own more of his albums, and eventually work my way through his entire discography. I liked Tubular Bells III a LOT more than I thought I would. I love the sound of that album
