Voyager is a music album, written and mostly performed by Mike Oldfield.
"The Hero", "Women of Ireland", and "She Moves Through The Fair" are traditional Irish songs, and "Dark Island" and "Flowers of the Forest" are traditional Scottish songs, which have been arranged by Mike Oldfield. "The Song Of The Sun" is composed by Bieito Romero from celtic band Luar na Lubre.
The music on this album is the most overtly Celtic music Mike Oldfield has produced. This caused some critics and reviewers, unfamiliar with the Celtic strands in his past output, to accuse him of "jumping on the Celtic bandwagon".
