Promotional singles for "The Voyager" and "The Song of the Sun", in Germany and Spain respectively, were released in 1996. The German promo single for "The Voyager" " Mont Saint-Michel", a piece on the album composed by Oldfield, refers to a tidal island in France. Its original title is "O son do ar" ("The sound of the air"). "The Song of the Sun" is composed by Bieito Romero from Celtic band Luar na Lubre. " Flowers of the Forest" is a traditional Scottish song, a lament for the defeat at Flodden in 1513. Another well known set of words were also set to a variation of the tune in 1963, by Stewart Ross. A set of words were later written by David Silver in 1963.

Later used as the theme to a 1962 BBC TV series and re-titled for the series. "Dark Island" is a Scottish instrumental and song the original music was written by Iain Maclachlan as Dr. " Women of Ireland", although credited as a traditional song, is not: the main theme is a melody written by Irish composer Seán Ó Riada as a musical setting of the poem " Mná na hÉireann", written by Peadar Ó Doirnín Oldfield's rendition also includes an interpolation of the fourth movement ( Sarabande) of George Frideric Handel's Keyboard suite in D minor, popularised by its use by Stanley Kubrick in his 1975 film Barry Lyndon, where Ó Riada's tune also appears (Oldfield's "Women of Ireland" was reportedly inspired by the coupling of both pieces in the film). " She Moves Through the Fair" is a traditional Irish song, the melody of which had been used by Simple Minds for " Belfast Child" in 1989. "The Hero" is a Scottish piece originally written by James Scott Skinner in 1903, as "Hector the Hero".
After the daughter of a Warner Music exec said it sounded boring, Oldfield added synthesizers and more instruments to the album. The album was originally recorded using only acoustic hand-played instruments. The music on this album is the most overtly Celtic music Mike Oldfield has produced. In an interview from the time, Oldfield claimed that the album was one of his quickest to create, only taking a month and a half to record, also claiming that he composed and recorded some songs in one morning. Oldfield would stay with Warner until 2003, where his final album for the label was Tubular Bells 2003. The album was the last in the original three album deal which Oldfield had signed with Warner after leaving Virgin, starting with Tubular Bells II.
