Building. To his rebirth.

I forget if this has comedy slapping and sloping sounds effects at the end.

Here they are.

2: Ommadawn

Side B.

This is the only boring bit of the album.

I mean, how much can you ever hope to need?

Is this supposed to capture the interminable wait inside his mummy's tummy?

It changes.


Not as quickly as it should though.

See, it's changed a bit (Tubular Bells and all), but it still drags on...

Was what was weird cult he got into?

In June 1978, during the recording of Incantations, Oldfield and his siblings completed a three-day Exegesis seminar, a controversial self-assertiveness programme based on Werner Erhard's EST training programme. The experience had a significant effect on Oldfield's personality, who recalled that he underwent a "rebirth experience" by reliving past fears. "It was like opening some huge cathedral doors and facing the monster, and I saw that the monster was myself as a newborn infant, because I'd started life in a panic."[18][26] Following the Exegesis seminar, the formerly reclusive Oldfield granted press interviews, posed nude for a promotional photo shoot for Incantations, and went drinking with news reporters. He had also conquered his fear of flying, gained a pilot's licence, and bought his own plane.[27]

There's a gorgeous Celtic folk bit coming up though.

And here it is.

Oh, yeah this is a good bit.

Some kind of Celtic shawm or something.

Some sort of hurdy-gurdy thing.

This puts a lump in my throat.

This album has David Strange on Cello.
