Incantations, originally released in November 1978 was Oldfield’s first and only studio double album. The fourth instalment in his catalogue reissues, Incantations, was released on July 25th 2011.

Few expected the man who crafted 25 minute sides of symphonic rock to hit the dancefloor with such élan. Both CD formats also include ‘Guilty’, Oldfield’s legendary 1979 single recorded in New York City at the height of the disco movement. Remastered by Oldfield himself, the 2011 packages contain a variety of rare material and again, as with Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn, contain a brand new 5.1 mix on DVD, as well as footage from Oldfield’s 1979 concert tour that supported the album.
