Incantations: Vinyl 2LP William DeVaughn over the years other Glass

over the years other Glass works on Nonesuch have included Einstein on the Beach (1993)

The songs are an inquest into the melancholy flavour of hindsight

lighting up my chest in an explosion of earnestness

creating the effect of looping without actually recording loops

Incantations: Vinyl 2LP William DeVaughn over the years other GlassReleased in late 1978, the double album, Incantations, was Mike Oldfields fourth full length release. An epic four part suite, it looked to sources as varied as native American music, religious incarnation, poetry by Ben Jonson and Longfellow and classical for its inspiration and created a piece of music that is unique and much loved in Mike Oldfields canon.
