Mike Oldfield -Ommadawn

Another album long peice (37 minutes for this one) from 1975. Once again the SQ quad mix from the Boxed set. A bit louder amd more aggressive than Hergest Ridge but equally as pleasing. A little more use of electric guitars with Paddy Moloney playing some bagpipes in ine section. Side one ends with some African drums after some chanting in Irish. Side two ends with a short song about riding horses,refered to as “The Horse Song” by people,the first music with lyrics on his records. Like Hergest Ridge I might have listened to this once but it is a very fine piece of music and I will have to put this on more.
