Mike Oldfields 'Music of the Spheres'

[Marc JX8P]

I just got a copy of Mike Oldfields new album 'Music of the Spheres'. It's an orchestral album with him on acoustic guitar, but in sound it very much evokes the early albums he made to me. As usual, his guitar playing is wonderful and the orchestral timbres are great too. The nice thing is that in places it even sounds a bit like synth - probably due to the fact that Mike uses a lot of orchestral timbres on his synths and thinks in terms of real instruments. In any case, I heartily recommend this album!

Thanks for the recommendation! Oldfield is an original.

How do you feel about Gary Wright?

Dunno, not familiar with his music I'm afraid...

He may be the original synth performer.

Notice in the photos in the gallery on this site that his guitarist is paying a G&L Legacy - my instrument of choice
