MIKE OLDFIELD - Taurus 2 (1982)

[@Eltonlaleham]

I have been a huge fan of Mike since 74 and now I am aged, 55 having been born in the year of 1969 how I wish I had been born years earlier than 1969 say had I been born in the year 1963 when the classic Dr Who era started on bbc1 in black and white with Bill Hartnell and had a 26 year run before it was sadly axed for 15 years but it did not come back the same show.

[@bobbygoestoabyss6624]

Heard it for the first time with 7 i think... intantly fell in love... I'm 42 now... Still enjoy listening. One of the best pieces of Music ever.

[@ronammologist16]

Been enjoying Mike since '73, now I'm 65 years old and still a fan. Thank you Mike.

[@rightdown5482]

My father accidentally left his Mike Oldfield - Five Miles Out CD in my CD player when I was 10, I instantly fell in love and have been listening to all of his songs ever since. The best mistake my father ever made.

Real masterpiece. Another one by Mr. Oldfield...

[@Stormwatch153]

In my opinion the best Mike Oldfield tune ever.

[@shaneknight2392]

Iv been listening to Mike all my life and no matter haw meany times I hear his music it just gets better and better. And that’s the same for so many albums Love your music Mike 👍🏻

For me this is as good as it possible can get. Ive Been listening sincs i was 15 now 55, Taurus 2 is for me Mikes best, its gets my emotions on a roller coast every time i listen to it, usually with a bottle of red wine on the side.. There is nothing today that even comes close to this, should be taught in music academys!

¿Como escoger entre tantisima maravillosa musica del angel-genio-dios Mike Oldfield?. Para mi es algo imposible, lo considero una tarea digna de rivalizar con los mitologicos 12 trabajos de Hercules ( haciendo una metaforica posible comparacion). Es obvio que todos tenemos nuestra lista particular de temas favoritos, pero es que estamos hablando de un ARTISTA que supera la veintena de trabajos publicados y hasta el menos reconocido o admirado es de calidad infinitamente superior a la media. Es para quitarse el sombrero.👏🤘✌️👌👍🎸

I wish I had been older than 13 in 1982 when this album was produced.and also I wish I had been aged 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 or even aged 24 or even aged 30 back in the 80s.

Mike is a true genius... no doubt about that fact.. at least for those who know his works... Please do not forget to listen carefully to: Songs of distant earth Platinum Tubular bells 2 And of course Ommadown These are absolute masterpieces. How do you recognize a masterpiece? When time has no effect on the intense pleasure you feel when listening and listening again these treasures... as he said in one of my favourite... "Only time will tell" and more than 40 years of hard work and true good music say that he IS a real genius...

[@kpersson40454]

I've always loved Mike Oldfield. This makes me remember ....I was a young kid when I first started listening to his music and after that Ive had periods when not listening to him, but always on my mind...

[@234cheech]

yep a nip in nip out i was a massive oldfield fan since hearing tb1 the ommadawn back in the early90 as a 13 yearold prog fan

[@BernardMebs]

I remember the early 80s, when each release of a new album I rushed to the record store, impatient to find out what he had concocted for us and ready to take a new musical journey. What a pleasure, for my part I always preferred his long and progressive pieces. For a lot of people (mostly non-connoisseurs) Mike Oldfield got "Moonlight Shadow" ... which for me is almost the worst song ... I also got to see him live on 5 occasions. Je me souviens de ce début des années 80, où à chaque sortie d'un nouvel album je me précipitais chez le disquaire, impatient de découvrir ce qu'il nous avait concocté et prêt à faire un nouvau voyage musical. Quel plaisir, pour ma part je préférais toujours ses morceaux longs et progressifs. Pour beaucoup de monde (la plupart des non connaisseurs) Mike Oldfield s'est "Moonlight Shadow"... Qui est pour moi presque le pire morceau ... J'ai également eu l'occasion de le voir en live à 5 reprises.

[@chelfyn]

The very first piece of his music I ever heard. I was hooked from bar 1.

[@gaiusbaltar7122]

This is a masterpiece.

Hush now baby made a start There′s a jewel in your heart And a star that shines for you Watching everything you do Don't you cry though it may seem You were born into a dream There′s another race to run You were not the only one Standing in the morning sun Waiting though it had begun May you never run ground Or call into the deep, deep sound Stormy weather turns to blue Here's a song to take with you

Niezwykła dawka progresywnego rocka. Perkusja genialna. Mike jakby mu pozwolono nagrałby wielogodzinną suitę. Tylko ówczesne wymogi techniczne nie pozwoliły. Byk 2 jest monumentalny ale skromna jedyneczka się broni dzielnie.

A masterpiece by Mike Oldfield. Happened to hear Little Red Robin Hood Hit The Road by Robert Wyatt now, and I can clearly hear several similarities with the sound in this song among others of Mike. Also interesting that Mike participated when Robert made the album Rock Bottom 1973..1974. Who was really inspired by whom?
