I can't describe, unless I write a book, just how much Mike's music means to me. It is the background of my life. Thank you Mike.

I am not amazed that Mike Oldfield´s music has been amongst the greatest, continuous and most present joys in my life, and my family´s. I am not amazed at how many others around the world feel the same way. However, I never cease to be amazed at how utterly beautiful his music is. Thank you and God bless!

I have loved his music since I was 14, I bought Tubular Bells out of my paper money and it hit me for six, I didn't listen to anything other than Mike's music for years. I'm still a fan at 57.

Hello. I've just today discovered your Oldfield acoustic covers on YT. Very impressive, both your playing and the fact that the pieces were originally written by a kid in his teens. I'm also 57 years old and feel exactly the same about Oldfield's music, forty years after first hearing it. (Which part of Wales are you in, BTW if I may ask?).

Fortunately, Mike had great people around him that believed in his work, and contributed their skills to it. His music may have helped Virgin travel all the way to outer space, but for most of us it was a vehicle to travel inward.

I remember this programme being broadcast on TV in my teens, probably in the late 70s. MO is surely a genius composer and performer. I have always been a big fan as Tubular Bells was the first audiotape I ever bought just after seeing it performed live in concert (I think on BBC2). Each of his albums has brought something different and inspiring. It's very unlikely that there will ever be anyone quite so unique and gifted as a musician and multi-instrumentalist. Jeff Lynne has the same distinction, but in a far more popular and mainstream form of music. MO has his own individual and particular niche, but somehow appreciated just as widely. That's quite a feat to achieve!

Very interesting that in this video Branson almost seems proud of Mike for going about music on his own way without limitations. Later for decades they would split up because he pressured Mike to change his formula. Irony. On a better note, Mike is back signed to Virgin label.

I'd put his Amarok into my top 100 Albums. He can Play, and he can Produce and Mix, he is like a more Melodic/happy Robert Fripp with the trance like repetition and odd times and has no boundaries when it comes to making soundscapes. "We got a sloppy, dirty looking generation", so true, when you look at the 70's there is almost grease on everyone and dust in their cloths, unkept hair and no grooming. We still have that but it was across the board in the early 70's. (though wearing torn jeans or a shredded Tshirt was still a sign you were really poor not a fashion statement).
