WOW…an achingly beautiful return to form that could only be Mike Oldfield. I have followed his music since the beginning when I first heard the full length of Tubular Bells played on AOR / FM radio (remember when AOR radio was the norm?) For me, this is haunting and full of wonderful memories. Mr. Oldfield was & is a master composer whose concept has yielded so much great beauty.

This is the actual CD (be aware there’s poor cassette versions floating around) fully remastered for your listening pleasure.
