Been listening to two Oldfield albums for 15 years or so, "Islands" and the Best of "Elements" CD. Loved both, especially all the songs on best of Elements. Then, in November 2010 I finally decided to go after all the albums highlighted in Elements, starting with Ommadawn. I got the 2000 Remaster. I can't believe it took me so long to discover this. The first couple of times I listened to this I was like "ok, this is pretty good...I think I like it". After that I was like "OMG where have you been all my life!" This album is everything it is made out to be. Magnificant all the way through. Especially Part 1. It's like a delicious musical treat with lots of instruments, some hypnotic vocals and some of the most original guitar leads I've every heard. I'm going after most of Mike's albums now. It's like I found musical nirvana.
