OM is the performance of two of the most legendary new age artists Medwyn Goodall and Terry Oldfield here together for the first time.Medwyn is a legend in the world of instrumental music with nearly 4 million album sales to his credit. He has gained an international reputation for composing and recording quite stunning music. He is regarded as being amongst the finest multi-instrumentalist in the music industry.

Medwyn writes and records his music in his private studio in rural Cornwall. He plays over a dozen instruments and has evolved unique styles of instrumental music, which are highly melodic, deeply expressive and very inspiring.

Terry Oldfield spent his early childhood in Reading, later attending a Benedictine Monastery School. Terry's earliest musical experiences were in the myriad of folk clubs spring-up around the UK in the late 60s and early 70s, listening to the songs of Leonard Cohen, Bert Jansch, John Renbourne, Dylan.This album is a unique gathering of ten of the worlds best artists collaborating with a single purpose, each composer defining and expressing what OM means to them.

Each track features one guest artist with Medwyn perfoming on Guitar and Terry on Flute, each piece of music being the guest artists interpretation of OM.Guest artists include - Threefold, Neil H, Roland Sante, Guy Sweens, Simon Lovelock, Stephen Page, Paul Lawler, and Karl Maddison.

OM goes way beyond what was expected or anticipated, what has emerged is a performance of sheer beauty and incredible expression. For anyone who enjoys new age music this is a rare event not to be missed.Rarely can you find an album so expressive, sensitively performed and deeply moving. Inspired by nature, ancient mysteries and cultures such as the Mayan and Inca, his music magically blends many acoustic instruments. The music is perfect for inner reflection, deep relaxation, or purely for the pleasure and wonder at hearing.Relax, unwind and meditate with soothing, peaceful music. Music for the body, mind and spirit. Music that can awaken us, change us and enlighten our world.
