Michael Gordon Oldfield (born 15 May 1953) is an English multi-instrumentalist musician and composer, working a style that blends progressive rock, folk, ethnic or world music, classical music, electronic music, New Age, and more recently, dance. His music is often elaborate and complex in nature. He is best known for his 1973 hit album Tubular Bells, which launched Virgin Records, and for his 1983 hit single “Moonlight Shadow”. He is also well known for his hit rendition of the Christmas piece “In Dulci Jubilo”.

Incantations is the fourth record album by Mike Oldfield, released in late 1978 on Virgin Records.

The first Oldfield to be divided into more than two movements, it is the second longest work Oldfield has ever released. Originally released as a double album, the current CD issue fits the entire album onto one disc.
