English musician and composer Mike Oldfield has announced he will be releasing the track he performed at the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony on October 8th.
2012 has been a stellar year for electronic music pioneer Mike Oldfield - after delivering an astounding performance at the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony and achieving a Top Ten album with career retrospective ‘Two Sides’, Oldfield will now release the original closing ceremony track he performed as a download and on limited edition coloured vinyl 12” single.
When Oldfield stepped out onstage at the Olympic Park on Friday 27th July, it marked his first major live concert performance in his home country in over a decade. However, this was no ordinary show - Oldfield’s music had been personally selected by Danny Boyle to play a central part in Isles of Wonder, his specially-created work for the Opening Ceremony of the 30th Olympic Games.
Already one of the most talked about tracks on the ‘Isles of Wonder’ CD, this strictly limited 12” coloured single will be the only place you can hear this on vinyl - you can pre-order it here.NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
