Description
mike oldfield returns to the albums with the first record since 2008, “Man on the Rocks”. over 11 new themes, this album reflects the multiple and mixed influences of mike oldfield. recorded in the bahamas, this twenty-fifth studio album by the American was produced by the legendary stephen lipson (beck, paul mccartney, annie lennox.) “Man on the Rocks” also features the participation of great artists and musicians, such as the bassist leland sklar (phil collins, crosby, james taylor,) the drummer john robinson (eric clapton, daft
