RhoDeo 1217 Goldy Rhox 69


Hello, today the 69th post of GoldyRhox, classic pop rock. In the darklight a UK artist that initially had a hard time selling his first album, in the end it became so successful that it has overshadowed his whole career.  An English multi-instrumentalist musician and composer, working a style that blends progressive rock, folk, ethnic or world music, classical music, electronic music, New Age, and more recently, dance. His music is often elaborate and complex in nature. He is best known for his hit album Tubular Bells, and for his 1983 hit single "Moonlight Shadow". He is also well known for his hit rendition of the Christmas piece, "In Dulci Jubilo".

Note ! Meantime i have re-upped 20 dropped putlocker links you might have come across- a dreadful host, check todays comments for a complete and direct listing.

Most of the albums i 'll post made many millions for the music industry and a lot of what i intend to post still gets repackaged and remastered decades later, squeezing the last drop of profit out of bands that for the most part have ceased to exist long ago, although sometimes they get lured out of the mothballs to do a big bucks gig or tour. Now i'm not as naive to post this kinda music for all to see and have deleted, these will be a black box posts, i'm sorry for those on limited bandwidth but for most of you a gamble will get you a quality rip don't like it, deleting is just 2 clicks...That said i will try to accommodate somewhat and produce some cryptic info on the artist and or album.

Todays mystery album was released on October 21, 1975. As with his previous two releases, this is another two-movement work. The artist sought out the ancient Celtic influence on English music and composed for traditional instruments such as uilleann pipes on the original LP version. A set of Northumbrian smallpipes were also recorded, and credited to "Herbie", but this recording was not used on the album. It involved musicians noted for their work in folk music including Clodagh Simonds and Paddy Moloney. The artist combined this with heavy African influences, mainly by the use of the drummers of Jabula. This makes this album one of the first successful world music albums in Europe. Another plus is Oldfield's use of a choir, giving the album a soft, humanistic feel when contrasted against the keyboards or synthesizer. The album was recorded at the artist's home, The Beacon, and was the only album to be recorded there. A quadrophonic remix version of it was released on Boxed a year later. Excerpts from it were featured in the 1979 NASA film, The Space Movie. The remixed album here was reissued by Mercury Records in June 2010 with additional content.
