Title: Substandard pop fare
Product review: I love Mike Oldfield, and even really like his early to mid 80's pop output ("Moonlight Shadow", "To France", "Family Man") but this is what happens when the execs at the record label push you to make even more commercial music. I admire for Mike actually doing it in the early 80's, but doing it his way. This album is nothing more than pure pop fluff which sounds, well almost embarrassing. And the cheezy synths that were so in vogue make this album sound completely dated. This review may sound a bit harsh but I am tired of record companies ruining good artists' reputations and making them pump out substandard garbage like this in the name of the BOTTOM LINE.Even if you're a die hard fan, I'd say skip this one.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
