Tangerine Dream: The Virgin years 1977-83 [5 CD]

Mike Oldfield är utan tvekan en av vår tids mest innovativa och tongivande artister. Ända sedan han för mer än 40 år sedan mer eller mindre på egen hand kickstartade skivbolaget Virgin tack vare framgångarna med debuten "Tubular Bells" har han etablerat sig som en av de stora musiklegenderna. När regissören Danny Boyle satte ihop artistuppbådet till OS-invigningen<br/>i London hade han ett speciellt krav: Mike Oldfield.<br/><br/>Här är Oldfields första studioplatta på över fem år: "Man on the Rocks", som är inspelad i<br/>hans egen studio på Bahamas och producerad tillsammans med Stephen Lipson. Till sin hjälp har<br/>han tagit både gamla ärrade veteraner och nya, unga talanger, däribland sångaren Luke Spiller,<br/>till vardags sångare i The Struts. "Man on the Rocks", som är Oldfields 25:e album, visar upp<br/>denne musiklegend i hela hans mångsidighet.
