Title: Geez, I feel out of step with these gushing reviews.
Product review: I am a big Oldfield fan (thanks to Stevie M.), especially of his long form works, Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Incantations, etc. I own 16 different Oldfield CD's, albums and cassettes (plus the box set Elements) so I believe I qualify as a fan.I bought this CD the second I saw it on the shelf in 1996, listened to it twice through, once again on day 2 and put it away forever. Well, almost. I tried to listen to it again a couple of times since and have to say that I CANNOT.It is a boring, unlistenable collection of warmed over new age pablum. When I saw Mike as a Middle Earth Elf Warrior on the cover I thought it must be a joke.Sorry Mike. I love your music and have purchased almost all of it in one form or another but even Picasso had an off day or two.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
