EGADS! YIKES! Instrumental albums out of the box for two days in a row. Now I have nothing to sing in my head all day long except for some x-mas song that is my wifes ring tone that I'll hear all day. I'm not the big Oldfield fan that some on this site are. Got that out of the way. Although the music here is pleasant enough, it's just elevator music for me. This is the follow up to the monster Tubular Bells and was over shadowed by that albums still lengthy chart success. Mike never reached the popularity in the states that he did in the isles. While the album went to the top of those charts, the best it could manage here was #87. I have included a short excerpt from each side of the lp here. For me, this would be nice to listen to if I am ever in a coma.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
