Title: genial simplicity, craftfully arranged
Review: This is probably the best Oldfield album. I put Ommadawn among the greatest pieces of music ever made. I've never heard a tune that is so carefully worked upon through the entire piece. The theme that Ommadawn starts with is the most haunting melody I have ever heard. It's dark and bright at the same time, frightening and aerial, as it gives you shivers of ecstasy when you hear it. The composition is brilliant, compelling, craftful. Puts Oldfield among the greatest composers born A.D. Its base concepts are so simple, yet Oldfield builds unspeakable beauty upon them.There are, certainly, people that won't like this music. It's a matter of listening to nearly every kind of music to appreciate it, maybe. Or maybe it will be more than decades when people will understand that they still find this music new.
