Reviews:
I need more stars!
This hard-to-find box is something really special for all music aficionados, not only Oldfield's fans.
It covers a wide landscape of Mike's long and successful career. It is not a "Greatest Hits" collection, it is more of a set of different "pictures" of Mike's career until previous recording of Tubular Bells II. Of course, it includes the whole original Tubular Bells (the only complete record included).
It includes a nice quality booklet, with a short biography as well as lots of photos. The box itself is really nice.
Buy it!
The largest Oldfield's collection avaible
Definitly this 4 discs set is the Biggest Oldfield's Best of album.it contains most of his biggest hits,even whole "tubular bells".the addition of singles not avaible alesewhere like the disco dancefloor hit "guilty", lovely instrumentals "Path" or "Legend" (one of my favourites songs).
But hte compilation is missing many of his hits that were released only on Vinyls and were not officially released on Cd like the phenomenal "pictures in the dark","shine" (with jon anderson","Music from video wall","In the pool","bones"...there are many of songs that are wanting to be released and are hiding somwhere in Internet, but Virgin never really thought of Releasing the Complete b-sides and rare tracks set.That kind of compilation is a definitive wanted addition to Mike's Oldfield collection - so if you are an advanced Oldfield fan "Elements box set" is not good for you because propably you have already most of Rare songs from Internet.if you are a begginer Oldfield Fan, there never was a better way to get into the music of this great musican.and of ocurse whole Box set is looking lovely - big book inside with nice photos and biography,the package is beautifull too.
Una joya de la música New Age
Definitivamente es un box set que todos los amantes de guitarras deberían tener. Desde clásicos como Tubular Bells, hasta lo producido por Oldfield en 1992 se ven recopilados en esta caja de 4 discos... Lo logré conseguir por suerte, ya que es muy escaso. Si tienes la oportunidad de comprarlo, no lo dudes. Satisfacción Garantizada!
