Customer Reviews The Apex of sheer creativity and skilled musicianship... I had stopped listening to Mike after a few mediocre efforts and then years later Amarok landed on my stereo. and more. Then Mike's music was born again though much stonger, richer, mature. It awakened the great realization of the pure joy of freedom expressed within. It broadened my horizons of what music can be, free of the constraints of convention. The whole ride (60 min) is one orgasmic musical pleasure like I had not known. Set time aside time for this alone with a good stereo and/or headphones and expect a lot because you're going to get it. Forget the negative reviews as the poor souls are still collecting themselves after the shock. This album will move you deeply at times and then will have you dancing alone on the floor and even laughing. Can music do all this? It did it to me. Six out of five for this. Simply his best Just get it, listen 2 it and U'll see. The best Oldfield album, no other words needed. Give it a 2 or 3 times listen, it is not the album that U can simply get used 2 it, but after then. . . U'll see, will never get this CD out from your player. It's not Omadawn, it's MORE than Omadawn. seriously boring ego trip by a dried up former genius And the insult to listeners on the outside of the cd. He must be kidding. If we don't like it we're "cloth eared"? Whatever. If Mike has to be so defensive as to insult us before we've even listened to the cd then something's wrong. And something is very wrong with the cd; everything. It's boring, pointless, unorganized, just another Oldfield ego trip. Like we needed another? Where did the genius who created Ommadawn go? . . . It's a shame, really. . You can see a complete list of all Mike Oldfield discography, or go back to the Mike Oldfield tabs
