Man... haven't heard that name in awhile.

I remember years ago I bought a double album by him and it was a misprint with Aerosmith on the records Labels instead of Oldfield. It was Oldfields music, but the label on the album was Aerosmith's first album.

Wish I'd realized the value of it back then cause I just threw it around and ruined it cause I thought I'd gotten a defective album.
I'd never even heard of Aerosmith before.

Tubular Bells was a great cd, love the guitar tones that he came up with - very 'other worldly'. It's a pity you don't see him or Jean Michelle Jare anymore - if they updated their sound they could re-educate a lot of younger listeners to what good composition is all about.
