Show notes
A (relatively) in-depth analysis of the 1979 album Platinum by Mike Oldfield in (just under) fifteen minutes. Mathew Woodall is in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.
Our beloved listeners are encouraged to seek out the 2012 re-release of Platinum (which features many extra tracks), 'North Star' by Philip Glass and the remix of Platinum Part Three and Four (renamed 'Meatball') by Röyksopp.
The episode of Blue Peter with Oldfield recording the new Blue Peter theme can also be found on YouTube. Presenter Simon Groom played the opening drum roll (not sure if it was the drum roll but Simon certainly enjoyed himself in the studio...)
