@JohnPhilpin Thanks for listening. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll make sure to check out the work of Vivian Stanshall (I always wondered who announced the instruments for TB1).

@lmika For what its worth - John Cleese did TB2 - but I am a Viv man.

@JohnPhilpin Actually, I believe John Cleese did the 2003 re-release of TB1. This is the release of TB1 that I mainly listen to and I definitely recognise that voice. I think Alan Rickman was the announcer on TB2, which is quite funny because I started listening to TB2 before I had a chance to see him in movies. Listening again to TB2 after doing so, my head exploded with recognition.

@lmika Oh - and as I was looking for it - came across Ommadawn - years since I have listened to that one - but back in the day it was my favorite of those early Oldfields.

@JohnPhilpin Yeah, TB2 has got a special place in my heart as it was the album that got me into Mike Oldfield, so I listen to it quite frequently. Also, must say I also like part 1 of Ommadawn, although I haven’t got into part 2 yet. Need a few more listens.
