Mike Oldfield – QE2
"QE2" is the sixth studio album by British multi-instrumentalist and musician Mike Oldfield.
It was released in 1980 and is named after the luxury cruise ship "Queen Elizabeth 2".
The album marks a phase in Oldfield's career in which he further developed his style and incorporated various musical influences.
The music on "QE2" is diverse and ranges from progressive rock to world music elements.
The album contains nine tracks, including the titular "QE2," "Taurus 3," "Mirage," "Wonderful Land" and "Celt."
A notable feature of "QE2" is the fact that Mike Oldfield recorded almost all of the instruments himself, a technique he also used on his previous albums such as "Tubular Bells". This allowed him remarkable control over the album's sound and atmosphere.
The reception of “QE2” was mixed.
While some fans and critics praised the diversity of the music and Mike Oldfield's artistic experimentation, others felt that the album didn't quite live up to the highlights of his previous works.
Nevertheless, "QE2" has its place in Mike Oldfield's discography and is viewed by many fans as an interesting phase in his musical development.
The album's association with the legendary cruise ship QE2 and the creative diversity of the music make it a notable work in Oldfield's career
