Across the Universe takes us on a journey beyond the labyrinth of this world into the freedom and space that lies within.
The album unfolds with all the sense of wonder and awe of the spiritual journey. Soaring flutes combine with haunting vocals, keyboards and natural sounds to carry and guide us out of the darkness and into the light.
With ALL THE RIVERS GOLD, Emmy nominated soundtrack composer Terry Oldfield has taken his talent for conjuring musical soundscapes and applied it to capturing the essence of the Celtic world. The etheral beauty of Oldfield's flutes and whistles is complemented by the lyrical harmonies of Celtic harp, mandolin, violin, guitars and uilleann pipes. Haunting lyrics add depth to outstanding songs such as "The Morning Dew," "All Shall Be Well" and the title track. "Sunset Jig," "Emerald Waltz" and "Celtic Lullaby" are instrumental gems that conjure visions of Eire's splendor.

AUSTRALIA
The distant drone of the didgeridoo ushers in the primitive and sacred tones of Australia, and offers a tribute to the Aboriginal culture. The deep sense of respect for the indigenous people can be felt as sections of rhythmic intensity invoke the Spirit of the Dreamtime.

CELT BY TERRY OLDFIELD
Terry returns to his classic sound and style. An album already achieving recognition and response from fans as an album that sounds like Terry of the past. A relaxed, soft and intimate performance that is at once haunting, yearning, pure and heartfelt. The album is a wonderful mix of Terry compositions and traditionl Irish pieces he has arranged in such a way that convinces you he also wrote them. Performed on Irish wood flutes and whistles it's very much a return to Terry's roots as an artist. Highly recommended for any Terry fan, Celtic music fan and those needing a quality album to unwind to after a stressful day.

LABYRINTH BY TERRY OLDFIELD
The journey that our soul undertakes, the karmic choices,
pre-destiny, the unfolding experience of learning and creating,
through the Labyrinth that is life.
Perfomed with soulful expression on the Bansuri a bamboo flute
from India,with light percussion, shamanic drums and soft
keyboards.
This has to be among Terry's finest albums.
MEDWYN and TERRY OLDFIELD have joined forces for the first time ever to perform together. Almost all of the MG Music artists were invited to guest feature on the album making it an unprecedented event in new age music. Recorded in 11 recording studio's across the world including Australia, England, Sweden, Poland, and the Czech Republic, never before has there been such a gathering of artists composing and performing original material together on an album. It has been an incredible technical and musical journey. Each track features one guest artist with Medwyn perfoming on Guitar and Terry on Flute, each piece of music being the guest artists interpretation of OM. Guest artists include - Threefold, Neil H, Roland Sante, Guy Sweens, Simon Lovelock, Stephen Page, Paul Lawler, and Karl Maddison. OM goes way beyond what was expected or anticipated, what has emerged is a performance of sheer beauty and incredible expression. For anyone who enjoys new age music this is a rare event not to be missed.
The lapping waves of sound that ride Terry's flute and the alluring siren-like vocals of Imogen entice you deep beneath the surface, where whalesong provides an emotive counterpoint for a haunting lyrical plea. This compelling musical prayer of heart-felt communion alterates with cascades of enthralling beauty and joyous freedom, unfolding a feast of glorious sounds.

REFLECTIONS THE BEST OF TERRY OLDFIELD
Reflections is the ideal introduction to the music of Terry Oldfield. Inspired by the many lands and cultures he has visited and a love of nature, Terry's music will take you on a journey from Tibet to Africa, exploring the oceans and rainforests on the way.
With personal notes from Terry about each track, the album features three previously unreleased bonus tracks including a stunning re-mix of 'Spirit of India'.
Albums featured : Spirit of India, Out of the Depths, Australia, Icon, Zen, Cascade, Illumination, Spirit of Africa, Spirit of Tibet, Reverence and Spirit of the Rainforest.
Terry Oldfield created REIKI HARMONY with the goal of providing an hour of gentle, nurturing music that would enhance a session of holistic therapy, such as Reiki or massage. Judging by the beautiful music on this disc, he achieved his goal admirably. The album consists of five tracks, each over ten minutes in length, that ebb and flow with soothing synthesizer atmosphere, piano, crystal bowls and (most notably) the bamboo flute, a specialty of Oldfield's. "Om Shanti" also includes the light chanting on an ethereal choir, something fans of his previous releases will recognize. The second half of the album is more abstract and "zen"-like, featuring Oldfield's flute prominently alongside mild drone instruments, nature sounds and chimes.
The music builds from a deep, resonant chant to a soaring flowering of vitality and vigor, without ever losing its basically meditative quality. The extended drum rhythms and the expressive flute and chant effects are a prayer in its purest form. Terry's masterful composition and performance of inspired and sacred music reflects the spirit of unity that connects all cultures.
Flutes, percussion,
mantric chanting and the exotic and mystical tones of the sitar
dance their way into the realm of the soul. The haunting melodies
and hypnotic rhythms create an entrancing oasis to entice the
senses and enliven the spirit.

SPIRIT OF THE RAINFOREST
Flute, panpipes and ethnic sounds from the forests are dominant in this authentic
and deeply inspiring recording. It sparkles and triumphs with a vibrancy that is the true radiance of the Spirit of the Rainforest.

SPIRIT OF THE WORLD BY TERRY OLDFIELD
With his newest release, Emmy nominated composer and musician Terry Oldfield pays tribute to many of the ancient cultures that have served as the foundation of our beliefs and understanding. Sweeping high and low over the continents, his music touches down in the lands of the Aborigines, the Native Americans, the Cambodians, the Greeks, the Africans and the Tibetans. It combines the deep resonance of the bamboo flute and the sweet trill of the ocarina with beautiful, echoing vocals and irresistible melodies, perfectly capturing the spirit of these wise and noble peoples and perfectly capturing the SPIRIT OF THE WORLD.
Terry Oldfield's journeys with the flute have taken him in many directions, allowing him to sample many different cultures. With A TIME FOR PEACE, the journey he takes is of the internal variety. Set against gentle nature ambience (bubbling water, birdsong, crickets), Oldfield constructs a tapestry of airy winds, cello, harp, guitar and synthesized atmosphere that fills the listener with quietude and aids in the release of tension. This is a beautifully soothing album that will make it easy for you to forget your cares and worries for a short while and embrace the healing power of music.
Turning Point was inspired by those early voyagers who were ready to leave behind everything familiar and sail through the oceans of peril into the great unknown. Writing this music just happened to coincide with a major transition in my own life, and it has been a new and exciting journey for me through some strange and wild waters. I hope the sense of "letting go" that I felt throughout the whole process comes through in the music.

YOGA HARMONY BY TERRY OLDFIELD
The bansuri flute has to be one of the most introspective instruments in existence; its pure tones are the very essence of tranquility. On Terry Oldfield's YOGA HARMONY, the bansuri flute is commingled with a subtle blend of instrumental textures, which include the sitar, tanpura, synthesizer mood and the enchanting twinkle of Tibetan temple bells. The music brings to mind the serene ambiance of the Himalayas and all the spiritual connotations that go with. The soundscapes are fairly sparse and bear an improvised quality. As such, they work well for activities that involve focus and clarity, like yoga (hence, the title), tai chi or mindfulness practices.
Summoning the pure essence of the search for enlightenment, a sense of peace and understanding unfolds as Terry's flute and authentic Japanese instrumentation guides the listener along the ancient path of Zen.
Across the Universe takes us on a journey beyond the labyrinth of this world into the freedom and space that lies within.
The album unfolds with all the sense of wonder and awe of the spiritual journey. Soaring flutes combine with haunting vocals, keyboards and natural sounds to carry and guide us out of the darkness and into the light.
