A double-disc career retrospective of a true British music icon. The first CD contains Oldfield's best-loved tracks and hit singles, while the other takes us on a musical journey through the artist's more esoteric, experimental side.
Mike Oldfield is a true British music icon and one of the most successful recording artists of all time.
'Two Sides' is a double-disc career retrospective, with the first CD containing Mike's best-loved tracks and hit singles, while the other takes us on a musical voyage through the artist's more esoteric, experimental side. Together, they make up the "two sides" of this phenomenal composer, arranger, producer and multi-instrumentalist.
Highlights from this staggering collection - personally compiled and sequenced by Mike himself - include the seminal "Tubular Bells, Part One", the pioneering "Ommadawn" plus a string of classic singles including "Moonlight Shadow", "Guilty" and "Family Man". Along the way the journey takes in the eclectic styles of folk, progressive rock, electronic, ambient, new age, world, pop and even disco!
