Our Take

In a world full of overproduced pop hits and auto-tuned vocals, MIKE OLDFIELD's Tubular Bells (50th Anniversary Edition) is a breath of fresh air. This album first rocked the music scene half a century ago, and it's still as trippy and mind-blowing as ever.

From the iconic opening piano riff to the hauntingly beautiful melodies that follow, Tubular Bells takes listeners on a journey through a sonic landscape unlike anything else out there. The 50th Anniversary Edition adds even more layers to this already complex masterpiece, with bonus tracks and remastered sound that make you feel like you're hearing it for the first time all over again.

Oldfield's genius as a multi-instrumentalist shines through on every track, creating a sound that is both familiar and completely unique. It's like listening to Pink Floyd on a cosmic voyage through time and space – and who wouldn't want to sign up for that journey?

So grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and prepare to be whisked away by the sheer brilliance of Tubular Bells. Whether you're a diehard fan or a newcomer to Oldfield's music, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates true artistry in the world of music. Trust us, you won't be disappointed. Just make sure you're ready for a wild ride – and maybe a few mind-altering experiences along the way.

About the artist

Mike Oldfield

Ah, Mike Oldfield, the enigmatic maestro behind countless musical odysseys. With a career spanning over five decades, this British multi-instrumentalist has managed to captivate audiences with his genre-defying soundscapes and otherworldly compositions. Oldfield burst onto the music scene in 1973 with his groundbreaking debut album, "Tubular Bells," a progressive rock masterpiece that showcased his unparalleled talent and innovative approach to music production. Who could forget the iconic opening of that album, with its hauntingly beautiful melodies and intricate layers of instrumentation? It's the kind of music that transports you to another realm, leaving you spellbound and utterly entranced. Since then, Oldfield has continued to push the boundaries of music, exploring new sonic territories and blending genres with effortless ease. From his forays into ambient music on albums like "Hergest Ridge" to his collaborations with artists like Jon Anderson and Roger Chapman, Oldfield has proven time and time again that he is a true musical visionary. 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. So sit back, close your eyes, and let the music of Mike Oldfield take you on a journey unlike any other.
