It's hard to underestimate the influence of Mike Oldfield on popular music. This is one of the most important albums of the 70's, and is very much 'Genre' defining. Ambient with a touch of Prog Rock dropped in, and all of the instruments are played by Mike. This being the original 1973 mix. It stands alongside 'Dark Side of the Moon' as a true work of art.
