Gabo Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Few contemporary musicians have as much musical skill and as benevolent a sense of life as Mike Oldfield. I urge you to listen to his latest album, Music of the Spheres. In it, Mike attempts to create (with a full orchestra to back him up) what the universe would sound like if we could listen to the inner music of the celestial bodies. The results are breathtaking!

Many of the giants of electronic music can veer towards darkness. (Maybe somebody should get Steve Roach an energy drink sometime soon? ;-D ) It's good that I'm not the only Objectivist here who loves REAL progressive rock!

Amazingly beautiful and uplifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabo Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Well, I still worship God, but I like some of Oldfield's old stuff such as Hergest Ridge I tend to like most of his stuff, but yes, Hergest Ridge ranks among his best works. Music of the Spheres, however, blows my mind. It may be his best ever--- even better than The Songs of Distant Earth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RationalBiker Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have old stuff from Oldfield... Tubular Bells and Tubular Bells 2. Some people still freak out hearing the "exorcist" music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
