Customer Reviews

Mood Music
OK so I'm a bit behind here, I have listened to all of M O's output over the years and like others he has had his brilliant albums and some which have not been as good. This album is very definatly one of the best, it weaves celtic, orchestral and Mike's own style to form a feast of wonderful mood music. If I had to pick one track to take on a desert island it would have to be Mont St Michel, it's as good a piece of musical picture painting as you will ever hear, the blend of pipes and orchestra are just breathtaking. An Album to savour, put on the headphones, close your eyes and be transported to another place.

Absolute Dross
Don't be fooled by the other reviews here, this album sucks. It is essentially the most dire form of commercial celtic nonsense that one would expect to hear playing in a "new age" shop. The music is dull, slow, mundane, monotonous and quite simply way below the standard that one associates with Mike Oldfield. Listening to this album is a painful experience, and there is little if nothing here to excite the Mike Oldfield fan. Avoid at all costs.

Pipe Dream
This is a fantastic album, with the celtic influence. Haunting guitars and bagpipes and ghostly pipes. Wonderful, every track is a stand alone masterpiece. Traditional Celtic songs given the Oldfield's touch, a few more words to describe the CD exceptional, terrific, stupendous, dazzling, marvellous, awe-inspiring, breathtaking, remarkable, picturesque, scenic, exquisite, magnificent, gorgeous, and not forgetting charming
