Mike Oldfield - Arrival (1980)

[joaquinlezcano]

A genius paying respect to another pair of geniuses

[Mike-kcrl]

There are many ABBA classics, of course, but I always think arrival is overlooked, and it's a simple but brilliant tune that is one of their best?

[ZanetaTRANCEEEE]

Heard it when I was a little girl. I had no idea who Mike Oldfield was back then, but the melody stayed in my head for all those years. Found it only few years back. 🧡 GRATEFUL. ❤

Been looking for this song for 40 years when I heard it in Paris. I could never find it til now.

For me BOTH versions are fantastic, within the best ever made in music, each one in his own way. Unlimited Credits to B. Andersson & B. Ulvaeuss for this masterpiece in music, they‘re the real genius. But also many THX to M. Oldfield for his interpretion of this. He‘s really a great music artist

Way to go Mike! Such a pleasing wonderful melody... there's a reason why I fell in love with ABBA when I was 15...

The old world had Bach. Mike Oldfield is the Bach of our generation. Always loved his music.

[DavidSmith-necb]

The one and only Mr.Mike Oldfield.WOW!

[Backoffboogaloo]

I’ve had this riff stuck in my head for as long as I can remember. I’ve only just tonight identified what it was. I don’t even know where I first heard it. It’s just always been with me. I’ve even played it on the piano in the hope that someone would recognise it and tell me what the hell it is, and now I know.

Quels beaux souvenirs ce morceau de Mike Oldfield morceau que j'avais choisi à l'époque comme Indicatif des mes prises d'antenne de mes émissions ( 4 à 5 fois 2 h par semaine) sur la RADIO FM des Montargis ( GATINAIS FM)

I was today years old when I learned this is orginally an ABBA song.

[tech]

I never knew til now Mike Oldfield had covered this ABBA track. But I always thought the original sounded like something he would have composed.

[miroslavklos]

The first record played on Severn Sound when it opened in 1980.

[chrisgibson]

Listen to this version ----Grand Finale Dutch International Military Tattoo 2009--. find it on You Tube. You'll never listen to any other version.

[ilPapadiBoulder]

This is way way up there with the Ode to Joy (9th Symphony) of Beethoven. Sheer unchained pleasure. I play it during take-off whenever I'm flying.
