My New Years resolution this year was to be open-minded and listen to new genres of music and artists that I would not normally listen to. When I got an internship at UMGD, I was so excited because this would be the perfect opportunity to actually achieve my resolution. I went to a meeting about a new artist named Mike Oldfield who is an electronica/ experimental artists from the UK. Usually I listen to more rock type music but I actually really enjoy this artist. I was given his new CD called Music of the Spheres and it is definitely the type of music that I could see myself listening to while relaxing, taking a nice warm bath after a long day at work. I am so glad that I learned about this artist and I can be open-minded to new genres of music to appreciate how amazing his music is. If you would like to check out a few of his songs, you can go to myspace.com/michaeloldfield... there are about 5 different songs posted.

Sorry - but Mike Oldfield has been recording since the '70s - His (hugely) successful album Tubular Bells would be familiar (by name at least) to practically everyone 'of a certain age' in the British Isles.

If you interested I'd say try this album - certainly chill-out music.

I'm more familiar with Ian Brown's 'Music of The Spheres' - but it takes all kind I suppose!

there are different levels of chill -this is yoga chill music, if you're into that, it's solid stuff

I think if you are in the mood to listen to new music and open your eyes to new sounds... I have been listening to Rusty Truck. Soft southern music that is suitable for car rides and concerts. Just wanted to give you something to listen to. Thanks for your thoughts.
