Hi

Sally Oldfield has more than one album and a more recent album I just heard on Space Pirate Radio is excellent! 

To my ears, it is only "like Mike" in that his guitar is in it, and you hear one small solo and you know right away who it is!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Stephen Caudel

he is in the PA Database so I won't list all his albums , although there aren't that many. Wine Dark Sea is the best imo.

check out the albums "Brilliant Streams" and "Circle in the Forest" by ASTURIAS, an excellent Japanese group
If you like Oldfield's poppier 1980s stuff, and you definitely should, try a sweet album on Musea by ENGEL
COLIN MASSON's "Isle of Eight" is quite Oldfield influenced 
Sometimes sister SALLY OLDFIELD sounds cut from the same cloth and her album "Water Bearer" contains similar hypnotic tendencies

Robert Reed has done a series of albums in homage to Oldfield that are different enough to be worthwhile exploring. They are the Sanctuary series.


I'd also explore Pekka Pohjola.

French band XII Alfonso comes to mind immediately . . .

Do you know any band or guy that is making a music that is sounding like Mike Oldfield?
So don’t evade the surgeon’s blade
Cos the answer could be in your mind
Maybe one cut and we’ll find
We’re just a wavelength behind

But we are entwined

And I know what you need
