Description:

British multi-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield offers up this warmly crafted sequel to his 1975 classic â??Ommadawnâ?, marking a return to a more organic style of composing. After polling fans online about what type of approach they'd like to hear, Oldfield was overwhelmingly urged to revisit the acoustic style heard on his first three albums. Eager for the challenge, he spent nearly a year in his studio crafting what would become 2017's â??Return to Ommadawnâ?, an instrumental meditation on the prog-folk fantasy world he'd originally imagined four decades prior. A true solo effort, Oldfield plays every instrument on the record, which is divided into "Part I" and "Part II," each lasting about 20 minutes. A pleasing blend of Celtic, folk, and rock elements using a multitude of acoustic and electric guitars, old-school keyboards, mandolins, whistles, and hand drums, â??Return to Ommadawnâ? is thoughtful in its construction, unfurling in a dreamy fantasia that indeed recalls Oldfield's early days, but softened with the nostalgia of accumulated age. Oldfield's Ommadawn is an enchanted place and this lush revisitation both honors his initial creation and neatly extends its boundaries. -

Limited vinyl 1/2 Speed 180g LP pressing. Includes a 24" x 24" poster. 2017 release from the veteran British musician. Return to Ommadawn is a sequel to his third album, Ommadawn (1975). The album is the follow-up to his 2014 album Man On The Rocks. Return To Ommadawn is the first album since Incantations (1978) which follows the format of having one track per side of vinyl simply titled Part One and Part Two.
