Michael Gordon Oldfield (born 15 May 1953) is an English former musician, songwriter, and producer best known for his debut studio album Tubular Bells (1973), which became an unexpected critical and commercial success. Though primarily a guitarist, Oldfield played a range of instruments, which includes keyboards and percussion, as well as vocals.
- Incantations (1978) Incantations concluded the first quartet of Mike Oldfield recordings. It expended greatly on the minimalist themes that launched Tubular Bells, but took them into much more complex areas.
- Ommadawn (1975) Ommadawn was Oldfield‘s third album and it was made in a time of turmoil. Oldfield was still trying to handle the massive fame bestowed upon him from Tubular Bells when he was only 19.
- The Songs of Distant Earth (1994) This was a great advance for Oldfield and unlike the dated sounds of his 1980s albums, this one still holds up. The Songs of Distant Earth is inspired by the Arthur C. Clarke novel of the same name.
- Tubular Bells (1973) I’m sure this is the favorite of most Oldfield fans, and deservedly so. But I wonder: If we’d come to Mike Oldfield’s catalog later in his career if this would be the album that stood out.
