Mike Oldfield - Five Miles Out

Photobucket

This one is a very old favourite. It was played around the house a lot when I was very young and evokes memories of Robin of Sherwood on the TV, Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal, and running around in fields avoiding cow pats.

It's got it all, Uillean Pipes, Fairlight CMI, vocoder, Maggie Reilly and that's just the first track. I don't know a whole lot about what Mike Oldfield did after this album, but I think this is a definite high point from his first flurry of releases.
