about

A tribute or fan-made version entirely by myself with only one ZX Spectrum 128k home computer, with BASIC interpreter!!! The program is free distributable from some websites to be used on any ZX Spectrum emulator under 128K mode:

World Of Spectrum: www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0026127
Spectrum Computing: spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?cat=96&id=26127

Audio tracks were recorded using Spectaculator emulator and then mixed resulting WAV files beautifying the sound with a subtle reverberation effect.

This digital release under Bandcamp has been actually made, but with one condition: as you have already noticed, download is disabled. I made this version just for those who like to listen this album in a different way, but I encourage you buy Mike Oldfield's original album. Support the original artist buying his albums or attending live performances of him or tribute bands.

==========================================
3-1-2021 UPDATE: Finally I accept downloads for this 8-bit recording, for free or donating any money you want to support me. Thank you all and Happy 2021.
==========================================

Not endorsed by Virgin / UMG or the main artist. I insist this is only a fan-made release made with one 80s home computer, with no other intention but show how powerful a ZX Spectrum can be.

- Original music: Mike Oldfield (released in 1974 by Virgin Records) Published by Virgin Records Ltd / EMI and reissued recently by Universal / Mercury Records.

- This computer version: Entirely done by myself in 2011.

I may disable or remove one or both tracks from streaming just to avoid any copyright claims from decadent music industry, any time in the future if someone asks.

about

Neil Parsons Spain

I'm an 'afficionado' of vintage console and computer games. I like music in most of its genres, too, but what I like most is creating it or arranging whatever it makes me feel better in my life. For now, my musical adventures run around 8-bit computers, especially the much beloved ZX Spectrum.

I have other interests in music, too, but for now there's nothing else to say.
