Title: A disappointment for Oldfield fans
Product review: Anyone fond of Mike Oldfield's other work, whether instrumental or song-based albums, will be disappointed by this one. The songs are generally bland with Mike's usual strong melodies conspicuous by their absence.Only 'Holy' sung by Adrian Belew and 'Blue Night' sung by then Oldfield regular Maggie Reilly show glimpses of the inventiveness and tunefulness Mike usually delivers.It just sounds like his heart wasn't in it - subsequent releases Amarok and Tubular Bells II suggest he was storing up his energies for later projects.
