TOM NEWMAN appears to have been the "Robin" to MIKE OLDFIELD's "Batman". Just as a series based on the Robin character would never fly, a solo album by TOM NEWMAN represents a monsoon like dilution of the genius on display in most of OLDFIELD's works of the time. Finally issued on CD during 2009 by Mark Powell's prolific reissue imprint Esoteric Recordings, 'Faerie Symphony' is a true relic from a bygone age, a magical instrumental album steeped in the traditions of both J. R. Tolkien and the fantastical imagery found on the covers of early-seventies progressive rock albums
Thomas Dennis "Tom" Newman (born 07 May 1943 in Perivale) is an English record producer and musician (rhythm guitar). In 1970 he began working with Richard Branson and helped to found The Manor Studio in Oxford for the nascent Virgin Records. There, he produced the recording of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells. In 1968 he played in a band called July whose only album was the eponymous "July" on UK Major Minor and US Epic

Tom Newman - Faerie Symphony & Other Stories it's the same Tom Newman. the guy who helped record, produce and perform on Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells. He and soon after Mike Oldfield were amongst the first to join Richard Branson's Virgin Record label. Tom also released a number of solo albums and even was.
This album came out very late in the progressive rock era, which may explain why it seems only to have shown up in England where, with punk riding high in 1977, it was promptly buried and forgotten. Tom Newman conceived, composed, and arranged this work running slightly over 30 minutes, which treads into Alan Stivell territory.
