Terry Oldfield ~ Spirit of Tibet
'Terry Oldfield is one of the world's most diverse and well-traveled musicians. He has journeyed to the four corners and beyond to learn indigenous instruments, styles, techniques, and customs. Spirit of Tibet is a deeply atmospheric homage to this culture that is dedicated to spiritual principles and sacred values. The disc has two long-form compositions: "Footprints of Buddha's Children" and "Tears for Tibet" each clocking in at around 25 minutes. It is a bittersweet soundscape that mourns the plight of Tibetan refugees and celebrates their efforts to keep their culture and religion alive...'

Mike Oldfield ~ Tubular Bells
'Mike Oldfield's groundbreaking album Tubular Bells is arguably the finest conglomeration of off-centered instruments concerted together to form a single unique piece. A variety of instruments are combined to create an excitable multitude of rhythms, tones, pitches, and harmonies that all fuse neatly into each other, resulting in an astounding plethora of music. Oldfield plays all the instruments himself, including such oddities as the Farfisa organ, the Lowrey organ, and the flageolet. The familiar eerie opening, starts the album off slowly, as each instrument is added to the mix, until there is a joyous grand unison Throughout the album, the tempos range from soft to intense to utterly surprising, making for some excellent musical culminations. Mandolins and Spanish guitars are joined by grinding organs and keyboards, while oddball bells and cranking noises resound in the distance. In the middle of the album, guest Vivian Stanshall announces each instrument seconds before it is heard, ending with the ominous sounding tubular bells, a truly powerful and dominating instrument. The most interesting and overwhelming aspect of this album is the fact that so many sounds are conjured up yet none go unnoticed, allowing the listener a gradual submergence into each unique portion of the music. Tubular Bells is a divine excursion into the realm of new age music, and it's status as an outright classic is truly justified...'
