Album Notes
Personnel includes: Mike Oldfield, Paddy Moloney.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Ommadawn represents a creative peak for Oldfield that is often overshadowed by the huge commercial success of his debut Tubular Bells. Oldfield employed the same format he had used on his previous two albums, with both sides of the album comprising a lengthy instrumental collage. This time he drew on a greater range of musical styles, using recurring motifs that had recognizable African, Eastern European and Irish sources (Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains being responsible for the latter). The album was also notable for the way Oldfield collaborated with the other musicians, drawing attention away from his image as the self-styled studio recluse.
Industry Reviews
4 stars out of 5 - ...[It] has the golden shimmering quality of Popol Vuh and Cocteau Twins' VICTORIALAND and is probably [his] second best...
