Most readers will be aware of Mike Oldfield, the progressive rock genius who first took the music world by storm in 1972 with "Tubular Bells". He's released many albums since then, and even in retirement remains a best-selling performer.
For this morning, I thought you'd enjoy an interview with him and a preview performance of his 2008 "Music Of The Spheres". It achieved the distinction of being #1 on the Classical Music charts in the UK in the first week of its appearance, as well as reaching #9 on the overall UK Albums chart - a superb performance across multiple genres. It remains one of my favorites among all his releases.
I'll post the interview first, and follow it with a music-only video of the full album. Enjoy!
Peter
