I see from your other updates that the only other Oldfield you investigated was QE2. As a fan and seeing how much you liked Tubular Bells, especially side 1, may I recommend Amarok. Sixty minutes, one track, no themes long enough to pull out as a single. It was a record solely designed to annoy his record company and as such it’s completely clear he’s enjoying himself for a change.

Side one is particularly angular and spiky and contains chord forms that he hasn’t gone anywhere near again throughout the rest of his career (except during the pointless re-recording of Tubular Bells, obviously).
