Mike Oldfield: Music of the Spheres
I have most of his LP's and now CD's, and had read about how this CD was very cinematic in it's sound. I've liked Mike Oldfield's music since the first "Tubular Bells" when I was a early teen way back in the 1970's. I fully agree about that, much less "New Age" and much more "Film Soundtrack", that's NOT a bad thing! Not in this case. In all his music I've always liked the all or mostly music only CD's, for me not so much on the vocal CD's and tracks. Overall this CD is very good and I enjoy listening to it. Not one track is a total stand out yet, but very good.


Mike's finest work
Oldfield's mixing of voice, guitar and piano intertwined. Mike Oldfield has had a great music career, but his latest work "Music of the Spheres" is a departure from the more electronic syhthenthised sounds of the past to a more classical style piece with Mr. The music is actually one powerfull work from end to end completely circular. If you haven't heard this music you are missing the most romantic and powerfull works, that has been recently created.


He's music reaches mature and clam level
Maybe he has been to wish to create a classical album for a long time. Mike's autobiography tells us: he loves classical music. I love it very much. He's music reaches mature and clam level: both melody and mind. .


I'm no musical genius
Beautifully orchestrated, lovely melodies -- perfect! . I'm no musical genius but I know what I like and I loved this.


Forutnately I was wrong!
I own "The Best of" album but wasn't really inspired enough by that to purchase any of his other albums. Never really cared for Mike Oldfield's previous works, I enjoyed Tubular Bells the song but not the Tubular Bells album. So when I purchased "Music of the Spheres" I felt I was taking a real chance and might not enjoy it - fortunately I was wrong. Strong melodies are supported by orchestra and choir. It's like a sound track to a movie where they used only the most beautiful and melodic pieces. This is not Tubular Bells and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys beautiful orchestral music.
