Mike Oldfield

Yup,

Tubular Bells is interesting enough for me to have invested in three versions of the album:

- The original
- The orchestral
- Version II

Can't say that I've really liked anything else he's done...

BTW, this belongs in the Rock forum, I'll move it.

The Songs of Distant Earth! His best work by far. Crises is awesome as well.

Anybody tried his VR game, Tres Luna? A lot of fun.

Maestro is interesting as well. And is his autobiography - 'Changeling' - quite revealing. He went through a process called Exegesis to deal with his shyness/stage fright. Richard Branson gave him a Bentley or a Rolls (not sure) if he would peform 'Tubular Bells' live. Not a bad deal if you ask me. I have every single version of TB and I like them all.
