GUITARS is a 10-track 1999 release that showcases Mike Oldfield playing a variety of acoustic guitars and features the tunes "Muse" and "Enigmatism."

Ever the sonic experimentalist, Mike Oldfield uses guitars exclusively (strummed, plucked, struck, sampled, etc.) to create every sound on Guitars. Perhaps an intentional response to the composer's previous assortment of electronic recordings, the album suffers from its form-over-substance concept. The more delicate, acoustic material ("Summit Days," "Muse," "Enigmatism") has the meditative, elegant quality listeners would naturally expect from Oldfield. But the crunchier rock guitar ensembles seem to lack Oldfield's usual sense of order and purpose. "Four Winds," an unfinished cluster of distorted racket, really misses its mark. Miscues like this one demonstrate that Oldfield is as awkward with the rock form as he is accomplished with his subtle and meditative electronic creations. Innovative and at times beautiful, Guitars is another interesting experiment from one of modern music's most ambitious icons. ~ Vincent Jeffries

1999 album, his return to guitar-based stylings after the new age legend's recent dance-oriented releases. 10 tracks total including 'Muse', 'Embers' and 'Four Winds'. Every soundon this album, including the drum sounds, were made by liveguitars, midi guitar and individual guitar samples.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Mike Oldfield Shows Off His Best
His many albums show that Mike Oldfield is innovative, but "Guitars" is the most dedicated CD of all. It's almost impossible to believe that he can get so many different sounds out of a guitar, and yet you are also drawn to the intricate composition he's also noted for.

5 stars Mike Oldfield enters new level
Given that hype, or rather lack of, surrounding this new album from Mike Oldfield I was not expecting what I got. It is a more mellow, and maybe more mature Mike which is very very pleasant on the ears. I still really enjoy most of Mike's albums but this time he seems to have stopped searching and found what he was looking for. I've had it for 2 weeks now and listened to it at least twice every night. Excellent, excellent album!
