Today we feature Mike Oldfield's RETURN TO OMMADAWN album.

Skip to Tracks
Mike Oldfield is best known for his early 70's recording TUBULAR BELLS. He followed it up with HERGEST RIDGE, and then OMMADAWN. He was known for two things from the beginning of his career. 1. TUBULAR BELLS was the record that made Richard Branson a very rich man when the composition was used in THE EXORCIST. 2. He's known for playing almost every instrument on his records. Today's featured album, RETURN TO OMMADAWN, is no different.
