Categorizing Mike Oldfield
April 1st, 2008 by Olivier
Mike Oldfield’s last album, Music of the Spheres, is #1 at Amazon.com in the following categories:
- New Age
- Classical
- Progressive Electronic
New age, classical, progressive at the same time, well, ok, but electronic? The microphones are electronic but the instruments are 100% all natural organic.
