Release of the Month: March 2008 - Mike Oldfield Music of the Spheres


Only Mike Oldfield could title an LP "Music of the Spheres" and not be accused of being pretentious. Though Oldfield has journeyed a long way since 1972's Tubular Bells, he can't seem to voyage away from the essential themes of his masterwork. Music of the Spheres borrows liberally from Tubular Bells but builds into an intricate work of orchestral beauty. This might be considered classical music, new age, or whatever label one might place on it - any new composition / recording from Mike Oldfield is a cause for celebration.
