Platinum
by Mike Oldfield
Signaling a notable shift towards more concise, accessible structures, the English multi-instrumentalist divided this release into a side-long suite and a collection of shorter, varied pieces. The inclusion of vocals, electronic rhythms, and a notable Philip Glass cover showcased his willingness to experiment outside his established symphonic framework. The album highlights his transitional phase between sweeping instrumental epics and the pop-oriented stylings of his 1980s work.
