PLATINUM: part 4 ( Airborne reprise - North Star - Platinum finale )

This is my take to do a cover, of "Platinum" the 1979 Oldfield's odd suite.

part 1:    • PLATINUM: part 1 ( Airborne )  
part 2:    • PLATINUM: part 2 ( Platinum )  
part 3:    • PLATINUM: part 3 ( Charleston )  
part 4:    • PLATINUM: part 4 ( Airborne reprise - Nort...  

After releasing the last of his symphonic-folk-rock opus, the complex "Incantations", Oldfield did an almost complete turn both in his life and in his music. Emerging as a different person from an intense "Exegesis" seminar, Oldfield in fact started to write and record more outgoing end less introverted music.

At first he recorded "Guilty" - an up tempo radio-friendly instrumental piece based on the Incantantions harmonies - and then composed and recorded "Platinum", his only album with some swing elements and the first to present disco influences (Platinum part 2-3-4).

I always had a strange fascination with this album, and when recently I learned the background of its genesis my fascination increased. So I decided to try to learn the whole suite to play it.

You can see/listen here the results. It's not perfect and I wasn't always strictly true to the original, but I hope you'll like it.

If you enjoy this and you want to have the original Oldfield version you can buy it on Amazon or Itunes.
