Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn. 1975 England


Another one of those records I've had since the beginning of time (my time of course...). This is one of those albums I keep expecting to go to the next level but it never quite does. Here Oldfield is playing on familiar English and Celtic countryside themes similar to Hergest Ridge, with one track taking up both sides, but lacks the wild climax that album possesses. A very fine LP nonetheless.


Ownership: LP: Virgin (UK). Single sleeve. Red and green labels, likely from the early 80s. I acquired it new in 1985 while in college. Kept it all these years.


1985; 2/3/23 (LP 4.7); 4/7/23 (new entry)
