I can get by on keyboards--enough to use--but I'm not really good at anything apart from guitar." This 1999 album--appropriately titled, as it happens--offers nothing less than a showcase for that facility and for Oldfield's two distinctive styles of playing: his very clean, heavily compressed Stratocaster sound and his busier, more contemplative acoustic work, where his technique (flawless as ever) betrays the influence of classical guitar, english folk and flamenco. Overdubbing madly, Oldfield creates his usual array of sketches and longer pieces--though modesty forbids him from claiming true axe-hero status: "It's dead easy," he's demurred, "because it's all just hammering. If you learn a basic claw-hammer technique from folk picking, you can do all the stuff I do." Hmm. I'll take his word for it. --Andrew McGuire Review: Not in the same league as his very early albums, but well worth having - To my ears this is easily one of the best of Oldfield's more recent works. It doesn't match up to those very early albums (Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Incantations and the original TB) but there's some seriously good stuff here that should appeal to most Oldfield fans. If you've got "The Songs of Distant Earth" you'll instantly recognise the main phrase in "Cochise" (though this version is superior) but most of the tracks feel like they've come from an earlier time, and that's probably why I like them. Well worth getting, and ridiculously good value if you buy the album as a used CD as I did. Review: Solid Oldfield - READ THE INSIDE COVER. ALL sounds on the album (drums sounds included) are produced from live guitar. Once i read that i listened again. Simply to have a mind to conceive such an idea is outstanding let alone to produce such an album. Whilst i would agree that he has better albums out there, to use ONLY guitars and come up with this is epic. As someone who grew up on Tubular Bells, this is one for the collection. Oh i forgot to say, Well engineered and reproduces well with good dynamics. Glad i paid good money. Well spent. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00000J7LC | | Best Sellers Rank | 22,460 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 80 in Instrumental 2,019 in Classic British Rock 3,294 in Pop Rock | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (306) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Label | WARNER RECORDS | | Manufacturer | WARNER RECORDS | | Manufacturer reference | 4 3 00027401 | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 1999 | | Product Dimensions | 14.4 x 12.6 x 0.99 cm; 92.13 g | ## Images ![Guitars - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PrPcBzI4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not in the same league as his very early albums, but well worth having *by P***S on 21 June 2018* To my ears this is easily one of the best of Oldfield's more recent works.

It is an album that gives an idea of experimentation, but it is still enjoyable. It is an album best suited for fans of Mike. There is a disc with high inspirations "Tubullar Bells ',' Hergest Ridge", "Ommadawn" and "Music of the Sphere" among others. However, it is not necessary, as the work of Mike should be cherished and well interpreted. It is only a comparison of their work. "Enigmatism" and "Out Of Mind" are perhaps the best tracks on the disc, but there is no ugly. Good!
