Mike Oldfield took the world of music by storm at the age of 19 in 1973 with the release of his debut album Tubular Bells which hit the No.1 spot in numerous countries and has gone on to sell in excess of 16 million copies worldwide. A naturally shy man it was not until the end of the decade that he began to play live on a regular basis. In 1981 by now a confident stage performer he embarked on his European Adventure Tour which took in the Montreux Festival in July where he performed in front of an enthusiastic sold out audience.Tracklisting:1.

Time, place, and content come together nicely in this concert extravaganza, spectacularly produced by German light-show specialists Art in Heaven and featuring guitarist-keyboardist Mike Oldfield and a cast of thousands (well, dozens) performing in Siegessaule Square in Berlin on New Year's Eve 1999. Totaling about one hour, the show is divided between classic songs (including a brief version of Tubular Bells, still by far Oldfield's best-known piece) and Millennium Bell songs. The latter are a bit more beat-heavy than Oldfield's earlier work, but for the most part his accessible New Age/progressive sound remains intact; unfortunately, the fact that Oldfield helped pioneer that style doesn't keep it from sounding a bit dated. This couldn't have been one his most comfortable gigs--it's disconcerting to see the musicians' breath, or watch them wearing overcoats, furry hats, and even gloves--but the huge crowd remains enraptured throughout. Bonus DVD features include an Oldfield interview. --Sam Graham ....read moreList Price

Review
Perfectionist Mike Oldfield (unhappy, apparently, at the odd bum note on the indubitably classic original) utilizes updated studio techniques to re-record his flagship classical/folk/rock instrumental masterwork in its bar-for-bar entirety. It may be true that the Bayeux Tapestry would look pretty good if someone re-embroidered all 230 feet of it on a modern sewing machine, but that's hardly the point. Surely, the original Tubular Bells, which recorded 16 million in sales, has more than enough going for it. Although the production here is fatter and brighter, playing spot the difference between this version and the one that continues to pay for Richard Branson's hot-air balloons may require levels of diligence and dedication bordering on pottiness. There are minor distinctions, including louder bass guitar, better sounding bagpipes, Sally Oldfield (presumably) joining Mike for a grunt on the amusing Caveman section, and John Cleese playing master of ceremonies on Finale, saving his best pining for the fjords voice for the announcement of the arrival of the double speed guitar.. --Kevin Maidment ....read moreList Price
