Our Take

Ah, Mike Oldfield, the man who brought us the legendary Tubular Bells, is back with his sixth album, QE2. And let me tell you, this album is a rollercoaster of sonic delights.

From the opening track, "Taurus 1," Oldfield takes us on a journey through his trademark blend of prog rock, world music influences, and electronic experimentation. It's a wild ride, full of unexpected twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.

Tracks like "Sheba" and "Conflict" showcase Oldfield's mastery of the guitar and his ability to weave intricate melodies that transport you to another dimension. And the title track, "QE2," is a sprawling epic that builds to a triumphant crescendo, leaving you breathless and begging for more.

But it's not all serious business with Oldfield. The album also features quirky little gems like "Wonderful Land," a playful reimagining of the classic Shadows tune, and "Celt," a lively Celtic-inspired romp that will have you dancing around the room in no time.

Overall, QE2 is a testament to Mike Oldfield's enduring creativity and talent. It's a bold and ambitious album that shows why he's been a mainstay in the music industry for over four decades. So hop on board the QE2 and let Mike Oldfield take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers!

But what truly sets Oldfield apart is his unrelenting commitment to his craft. He is a perfectionist in the truest sense, spending hours in the studio tinkering with sounds and arrangements, always striving for that elusive moment of musical transcendence. And it shows in his work – each note, each flourish, is meticulously crafted and delivered with the precision of a master craftsman. So, whether you're a die-hard fan of progressive rock or simply a lover of music in all its forms, there's no denying the undeniable genius of Mike Oldfield. His music is a testament to the power of creativity and imagination, a testament to what can be achieved when one dares to dream beyond the confines of convention.
