High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! QE2 is a record album mostly written and performed by Mike Oldfield, released in 1980 by Virgin Records. It was his sixth album and featured both original Oldfield compositions and two short songs from bands ABBA ("Arrival") and The Shadows ("Wonderful Land"). The album went to number one on the German album charts when it was released. The longest tracks on the album are "Taurus I" and the title track, "QE2", lasting 10 minutes and 7 minutes respectively. Some years later The Shadows responded to Oldfield's cover of "Wonderful Land", by releasing a cover of Oldfield's "Moonlight Shadow". The cover songs were released as singles; and the helicopter cover for "Arrival" was a parody of ABBA's Arrival album cover. The album was the first Oldfield album to feature Maggie Reilly as a collaborator. Some tracks on the album feature vocals sung through vocoder. "Conflict" has an excerpt from J. S. Bach's "Badinerie" (the last part of Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B Minor). The "Celt" lyrics were by Tim Cross.
