The worst album by Mike. A failed pop work, no interesting tracks, a complete lack of inspiration. He could have taken a break and spared us such rubbish.

Good album, great arrangements, an attempt to adapt Tubular Bells to new electronic horizons, but only halfway successful. Too far from the original, yet good overall.

A re-recording of Tubular Bells (the original) with separate tracks and "renewed" sounds. Good but unnecessary; a remastered version like the one from 2009 would have been more than enough.

Oldfield's classic work, beautiful and moving. The only flaw is the style too similar to a film score, but no one is perfect.

First album in the chillout style that struck Oldfield in the 2000s. A bit predictable in the arrangements, catchy without making an impact.

First of the two discs, second chill-out experiment. Unlike Tr3s lunas, the style is elegant and the use of vocaloid makes it particularly evocative.

Second album, undoubtedly worse than the first, with almost trance/techno influences. He could have stopped at the first album and just released "Light," including the few good tracks present here (Surfing, for example).

It opens with another unforgettable hit, To France, and closes with a beautiful track, The Lake. The title track is also lovely, the only song where Barry Palmer's voice makes sense. Everything else is boring (quote), but the album is good overall.

It could have been another 5-stars, but this time, bravely, Oldfield "drags it out too much." Four tracks of about 30 minutes each inevitably end up being boring, but still, compliments for the music and the courage. An album for a few.

One would hardly have expected, after the various pop works, such a great album from Mike. After Tubular Bells, which is from another planet, the best album is Ommadawn, a sublime work with which Oldfield forcefully raises his head again after the messy works like Heaven's Open and TB 2.

The worst along with Earth Moving and Tubular Bells II, Oldfield's voice isn't bad but often unsuitable for the pop context (or maybe it would be better to say the other way around).

Another album of highs and lows, excellent The Wind Chimes, beautiful Flying Start and the title track, terrible Magic Touch, a prelude to the crap music of Earth Moving. A lot of smoke and little roast.

It’s always difficult to replicate a masterpiece, and Oldfield does his best with Hergest Ridge, but he doesn’t quite succeed. The album is still excellent, but it lacks the inspiration and variety of Tubular Bells, which give way to a compactness that ultimately ends up feeling repetitive. Still, congratulations.

The immortal debut album, as extraordinary as it is symptomatic of the fact that Oldfield poured all his best into it, never managing to repeat himself, despite other great albums like Ommadawn and The Songs of Distant. It is unfair that the initial theme is remembered only as "The Exorcist music."

The hardest work of the Devon trio (and to think that even harder tracks were omitted and included in the Hullabaloo OST album). Undoubtedly the most sought-after and refined, New Born remains perhaps their greatest gem (along with Hysteria).

Their most commercial album manages to be so with great style and gives us a couple of gems worthy of the two previous masterpieces. We're naturally talking about Assassin and Knights of Cydonia. Invincible reminds of Falling Away With You, while Starlight is their first pop track, but very beautiful.

I give a 5 to Exogenesis, which is their best work, light-years away from any other music they've composed. It seems that the three of them focused on that during the three years of its creation, because the rest (rating 2.5) only features Uprising (a new Time is Running Out) and Unnatural Selection. For the rest, there are too many references to other artists and it's too pop. The Pink Floyd did the same with Atom Heart Mother: the suite is beautiful, less so the rest.
