| Brought up on TB1, I have to admit to bias but without doubt this is joyous music which lifts the spirits and makes one glad to be alive. Sit back and enjoy!
Thanks, Mike. |

| Amazon, for some reason, has suggested to me that I might want to buy this.
Ah no. If you are really desperate to hear tubular bells, can I suggest a good recording of Parsifal? It has the virtue of being, if only subjectively, shorter. |

| i have been in love with this mans music since radio plays of tubular bells opened my ears to a vision that has reached many highs and a few lows. this album proves......GOD IS BACK BIG TIME.
I HAVENT ENJOYED ON FIRST PLAY AN ALBUM SO MUCH SINCE AS FAR BACK AS INCANTATIONS. EACH track weaves a musical spell that leaves you wanting more , getting better as you get further into the magical sound play that mike has created. if you thought the king was dead.....think again. |

| I just had to give my opinion on this cd as I had ordered it on the recomendations of the other reviewers,
first of all if you are not a fan of david bedford then give this a miss as it sounds to me like it was cheaply put together, I know this was recorded in the 70's but there are better alternatives out there from that decade. robert powells voice as the narator gives it some credit but is drowned out too often by the music, I gave this cd a few plays just to see if it would grow on me but I have just taken ...

| This was originally released in 1985. I bought it then, shortly after 'Discovery' the year before, and I loved it. It is the best Oldfield compilation up to that time and one of the best of all time. The enjoyment factor is still there over twenty years later.
The first section consists of short, charming instrumentals before the second section of vocal tracks. We are treated to his best songs which have a pop/rock/folky feel to them: the smash hit Moonlight Shadow with its blistering guitar solo, 'To France' ... Read More: |

| I can safely say this is my favourite album of all time. I've loved this since I was a kid, and will never grow tired of hearing it. If I had to streamline my entire CD collection down to one disc, this would be it. It's just beautiful. |

| Hearing this composition is only part of the experience as it is a musical adventure that can be felt it in the very soul of anyone who is appreciative and persevering enough to listen. Each time you play it, it becomes more profound... OLDFIELD'S music is addictive. Hergest Ridge is a real place, a wild desolate spot on the Welsh border that is the epitome of everything English. MIKE OLDFIELD, having lived there whilst composing the album, has succeeded in capturing the very essence of the place in a unique piece that has been ... Read More: |

| Written and recorded while fresh from the Killing Fields project and in the throes of a messy marriage beak up, this is an impressively impassioned if often very angry affair - a long way from the cool experimentation of Tubular Bells or Ommadawn.
The heaving, desperate title track stands out, but all eight stand up on their own while making a fine whole, the closing instrumental bringing the strands together while trying to find some final peace. Barry Palmer's vocals stand out for me - he is a seriously overlooked rock singer. |

| OK so I'm a bit behind here, I have listened to all of M O's output over the years and like others he has had his brilliant albums and some which have not been as good. This album is very definatly one of the best, it weaves celtic, orchestral and Mike's own style to form a feast of wonderful mood music. If I had to pick one track to take on a desert island it would have to be Mont St Michel, it's as good a piece of musical picture painting as you will ever hear, the blend of pipes and orchestra are just breathtaking. An Album to savour, put on the headphones, ... Read More: |

| Mike's music never ages, even if the generous use of synths on Crisis points to the 80s. Every Oldfield album seems to have a technological edge to it which for me makes them a joy to listen to. Starting with a simple and perhaps irreverent tune, the layers of music build and interweave before a moody and seriously catchy title melody `Crises'. At this point I'm aggressively nodding my head - excellent stuff. Again more clever tunes with a dark edge juxtaposed with some gloriously sweet melodies carried by Mike's guitar. The layers of music build once again before a stirring ... Read More: |
