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

A Japanese band calling itself "Asturias", which is a region in Spain and also the name of a famous composition by Isaac Albéniz, is totally weird.

For those who don't know the composition, which was written for piano but definitely sounds like it was written for guitar (which is why it was played by many guitarists too), here it is in the original version played by Luis Fernando Pérez:



And here a version for guitar played by the legendary Andres Segovia:



Some may notice that The Doors used this composition in their song "Spanish Caravan":

Hyperlinking or indeed inserting vids is a no-go over the phone - I know because I only visit PA over mine.

Oldfield-like music? Alrighty then...Pepe Maina is about the only artist that pops to mind. His late 70s album Il Canto, Dell’Arpa E Del Flauto is brilliant and unique sounding even if it sounds a bit like Maijk Åldfilled:
