OMMADAWN

This piece of art is one of my favorite albums. In my opinion, "Ommadawn" is less commercial than "Tubular Bells" (commonly rated as Olfield's masterpiece) but this one is better structured. The percussions have an important part in the first track. I think these instruments (along with the voices) are the base of the strong dynamism. The perfect crescendo at the end of the song is almost orgasmic. The electric guitar solo flows perfectly well with the rhythm (bass, drums, voices, etc.). It's really a job worthy of his abilities as a composer. The second track is a beautiful piece with many variations and some instruments that sound like Celtic music. Finally, the third track is a short poem sung by The Penrhos Kids and "the Creator": Mike Oldfield.
