My introduction to Mike Oldfield was Wind Chimes, and it's still my favorite song by him. ------------- |

Completely agreed and then some.
Likewise, I can not say enough about all these.
Probably because I like weird stuff, and fun stuff, I did vote for Amarok. But that list is down right almost impossible!

Features some great drumming from Simon Phillips who also co-produced it. Maybe the 'heaviest' track Mike Oldfield ever recorded?

If Platinum had been listed I would have voted for it too. However, I went for Taurus II. As much as like all the others listed, this is a sentimental favourite. -------------
