Mike Oldfield - Hergest Ridge - re-mastered version. Not much difference to the original to be honest. Certainly not my favourite of his but it does have it's moments - good and bad. Parts are very beautiful, others are just plain annoying.

I'm surprised you have this. It being instrumental and all. There is hope for you yet.......

Next up is the original Tubular Bells - on vinyl no less - takes me back to the days I used to sit and get stoned in the Namibian desert. And no - I did not discover God - I just had a really bad headache the next day.
That opening piano sequence is just mesmerising.

David Gilmour's hair is very curly. Must have stuck his hand in the wall socket that powering up the amp!
