Free Music Notes for VoyagerFree Music Review: WAIT UNTIL THE LAST TRACK......
Even if it's kinda a good album of arrangements of well known celtic tunes ( WOMEN OF IRELAND , SHE MOVES THROUGH THE FAIR and THE SONG OF THE SUN are really good ) , the last track , MONT ST-MICHEL , which runs over 12 minutes is worth the price of this CD alone. This orchestral/choral track with solos for guitar , tin whistle and flutes is simply OUTSTANDING and looks like a symphonic poem , just like the orchestral version of TUBULAR BELLS was . The LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA and the LONDON VOICES are remarkable in the playing .I was simply blown away by this track which comes as a true surprise after the new-age atmosphere that comes before , and it cuts completely the tone of the CD , ending it on an eloquent and bewitching as well as impressive note . One of OLDFIELD'S best works in recent years!!!. Try it , you won't regret it : the melodies are beautiful and strong , moving and powerful and the orchestral/choral arrangememnts are magnificent ( even though they don't come from OLDFIELD'S hand but ROBIN SMITH'S).A futur classic !!!! By the way , check out MIKE OLDFIELD'S private joke on WOMEN OF IRELAND as , in the middle of the track , he interpolates an excerpt of HAENDEL'S SARABANDE as a tribute to STANLEY KUBRICK and his film BARRY LINDON in which the director used WOMEN OF IRELAND and the SARABANDE as recurring themes . OLDFIELD'S arrangement is neat and smart as well as unexpected!!!
