It gave Oldfield his first UK No.1 album, and was actually knocked off the UK top spot by Tubular Bells itself. It is another lengthy suite, reflecting the glory of the countryside Oldfield had secluded himself in following his early global success. Hergest Ridge is on the English-Welsh border near the town of Kington. A stunning new 2010 mix highlights the nuances of the work. Also found in research for the album was Oldfield’s original demos, never before heard.Also noteworthy is the album’s new cover. Oldfield was never happy with the album’s original fish-eyed lens picture of his glider on the top of Hergest Ridge. Armed with the brief of a redesign, Oldfield’s team struck upon the idea of using a Google Earth image of Ridge itself, and the surrounding countryside. It forever links the area and the music – further enhanced by the album’s booklet, Walking The Hergest Ridge – A Guide To Rambling and the Story Behind The Music It Inspired.Type: AlbumRun Time: 00:44:03MPN: 5326755Release Year: 2010Tracks: 1: Hergest Ridge (Part One) (2010 Stereo Mix)2: Hergest Ridge (Part Two) (2010 Stereo Mix)3: In Dulci Jubilo (For Maureen)4: Spanish Tune Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
