Discovery (printed as Discovery & the Lake on the back cover and spine) is the ninth studio album by English multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Mike Oldfield, released on 25 June 1984 on Virgin Records. After his 1983 tour, Oldfield relocated to Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland for tax purposes and started work on a new album.[1] While living in Villars, Oldfield also composed the soundtrack to The Killing Fields (1984). Selections from the two were released as The 1984 Suite, in 2016.
Background and recording[edit]
The album was recorded from January to June 1984.[3] Sessions typically ran from 10:30 a.m. to around 7 p.m. each day.[3]
The album contains a number of pop songs, which Oldfield had been encouraged by Virgin Records to write, following the success of 'Moonlight Shadow' from his previous album, Crises.
The first track of the album, 'To France', features Maggie Reilly on vocals. The second track, 'Poison Arrows', seamlessly continues from the ending of 'To France' and features Barry Palmer on vocals. According to Oldfield 'The Lake' was inspired by his time in time in Switzerland and around Lake Geneva.[4] The rear cover of some issues of the album are titled Discovery and The Lake.
During 1984 Oldfield and his band embarked on a Europe wide tour in promotion of the album.
2016 reissue[edit]
Discovery was re-released in a deluxe edition format on 29 January 2016,[5] as per all previous albums which were originally released on the Virgin label.
The reissue features 2 CDs (Discovery and the 1984 Suite) and a DVD featuring 5.1 surround sound mixes. The 1984 Suite is a compilation album of Discovery and Oldfield's other 1984 album, The Killing Fields. It also features two previously unreleased tracks: 'The Royal Mile', which is claimed in some places to be a 'newly rediscovered' track from the 1984 period but is simply a slight reworking of 'Afghan', which has been available since 1984; and 'Zombies (Halloween Special)', a reworking of the song 'Poison Arrows' with the original vocals replaced by robotic 'Stephen Hawking' style vocals with the lines 'Somebody's out to get you' replaced with 'Zombies are out to get you'.
Recording and instruments[edit]
Around the time of Discovery Oldfield had been seen using a GibsonSG Junior and a Les Paul Junior (including a modified 24 fret fretboard), along with a pair of FenderStratocasters (red and sunburst). Oldfield also used guitar synthesizers on the album, utilising Roland's GR-300 and G-808 controller. The Roland G-88 bass synth controller is heavily used for bass guitar sounds on the album. It is likely that a mandolin made by Scottish-based luthier Mike Vanden is used in 'To France'. Among the acoustic guitars on the album, an Ovation Adamas was used. Oldfield's main compositional tool for the album was the Fairlight CMI. In addition to using its sequencing abilities he also used it as a sampler, for example with Maggie Reilly's voice on 'The Lake'.
Barry Palmer and Maggie Reilly did not meet until the album was finished even though they share vocal duties on 'Tricks of the Light'; they recorded their vocals separately.
Sleeve photos[edit]
The inner sleeve of the original vinyl LP featured candid photographs taken during the recording sessions. One of the photos, titled 'Simon's notes', shows a handwritten list of tracks recorded during the sessions, some of which - such as 'T'Sword' - may either have been released under different names or remain unreleased to this day. Fallout 4 child mods.
Charts[edit]
The album peaked at #3 on Norway's album chart, spending 13 weeks on it. It also peaked at #15 in the UK Albums Chart.
