I was thinking,if you had a friend who had never heard of Mike Oldfield and his music(it does happen)then what would be the 1 piece of music or album you would play to get them to like Mike and that would show them an example of what Mike is all about.
For me it would be Tubular Bells 2.It has everything for me.

Mmmm, that has always been difficult to me. Firstly I think it depends on the person. What kind of music does he/she like etc...

I have lent many cd's to friends of MO, and with every person I gave a different album.

For example, I just lent Discovery and Hergest Ridge to a girlfriend, because I thought she had to relax (she was under great pressures, so...)   :)

Tubular Bells 2 is generally a really good album for "outside" people, yes. I think I will lent this cd to those persons in the future.

Yeah, i think it does depend on what kind of music they like. i would ask them first what music they're looking for and then give them an album that fits that genre, as we all know that MOs music is so versitile and fits into my genres.

This is what i find so strange,the fact that most people who are not fans of Mike Oldfield,do actually like some of his albums when they here them,because there is so much variation in the albums,i think that if we could get away from this new age tag he has,he would have more of an audience.
