Topic: Elements 1CD (Mike Oldfield album)


  
  MIKE OLDFIELD Elements: The Best of Mike Oldfield reviews and MP3
A 4-CD version of Elements was released soon after, which concentrated on Mike's career at Virgin, from 1973-91.
IMHO, this is not a recommended way to know the Oldfield's discography, because a simple and short excerpt from Incantations or Tubular Bells never could demonstrate the majestic of such albums, and -in the other hand- there are many better songs than the most commercial showing here.
Some tracks on the Elements 1CD version might be debatable, but whteher they are or not, mike's best, is more personal opinion.

  mike oldfield - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Oldfield's most famous work is Tubular Bells, an instrumental composition recorded in 1972 and launched on May 25, 1973 as the inaugural album of Richard Branson's Virgin Records label.
Oldfield later turned to film and video, writing the score for Roland Joff's acclaimed film The Killing Fields and producing substantial video footage for his album Islands.
Oldfield's rebellious response was Amarok, an hour-long work featuring rapidly changing themes (supposedly devised to make cutting a single from the album impossible), unpredictable bursts of noise, and a very cleverly-hidden Morse code insult directed at Richard Branson.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock O
Mike Oldfield's soundtrack to The Killing Fields is orchestral at times, with much help from longtime acquaintance David Bedford.
Oldfield is a talented and unique musician and it's usually easy to select several enjoyable albums from his discography.
This album is their most surreal and visual - much effort is taken to invoke images in the listener's head - and the biggest success is the gripping, doomed title track.
