More information: By 1984, Oldfield had ventured into new musical territories with the releases of Five Miles Out (1982) and Crises (1983), blending his signature instrumental compositions with more accessible, pop-oriented tracks. His 1984 album Discovery continued this shift, incorporating rock and electronic elements with a focus on catchy melodies and synthesiser-driven arrangements. The album featured the hit single “To France”, a track that became a fan favourite and highlighted Oldfield's growing ability to cross musical boundaries.
Oldfield supported the album with the 1984 Discovery Tour, a dynamic live showcase of Oldfield’s evolving sound set against a particularly busy period of recording new material. Spanning Europe, the tour featured both fan favourites and new tracks from Discovery, offering a perfect balance between his progressive roots and a more mainstream appeal.
Note: Recording quality can vary on these kind of releases.
