Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I was asked this question by a fan on You Tube and as I have heard nothing about it, I was wondering if anyone heres knows what he is talking about.

Thanks.

Hi,
Love the page, here is question for you, in the 1980's Mike Oldfield composed a piece of music for the BBC's archeaological programme Chronical which was about the Sutton Hoo Ship Burial in Suffolk. Its a great peice however I do not know what it is called and have not come across it since.

ANy ideas?

All the best,

Anthony.

I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day!

AFAIK,the piece that Mike wrote for this documentary is called Sutton Hoo.

I uploaded the Sutton Hoo music here. Don't expect high quality.

Does anyone else think this sounds more like Vangelis than an Oldfield piece?

Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres.

Andrew Taylor's Mohribold album has proved very popular with fans of symphonic-rock, prog-rock, psych-folk and indeed Oldfield's classic albums!
