Lost Gem: "Finale" - Mike Oldfield (1973/2003)
"Two slightly
distorted guitars."
~ Mike Oldfield ~
Mike Oldfield, composer & multi-instrumentalist, played more than twenty different instruments on his debut album..."Tubular Bells".
Thirty years later, Oldfield re-recorded the original "Tubular Bells" using updated technology and corrections to what he saw as flaws.
I like the original just fine, (don't like tinkering with history)...but "Tubular Bells 2003" is a very strong offering of what I already saw as a masterpiece.
Lost Gem--> "Finale" ...is an epic 8 minute tour-de-force led by a rhythm run that will not be denied.
Different instruments are added on this delicious mind warp prog-ride...each receiving a proper and grand introduction...leading to an orgasmic flush with the title instrument finally making its appearance.
Have you heard this one?
Good Stuff!

I wish I could listen to the entire recording & not think of LB. But the 2 are tightly bound.
I should explore more deeply, Oldfield's other releases but have not had the opportunity.
