Free Music Review: His Best From The "Pop" Period
Hit: 5 Stars
One of Mike Oldfield's best albums. The opening two part suite The Wind Chimes is a masterpiece on par with his early album-length pieces. Part One is a nice, synth-powered intro and Part Two is an epic, featuring the usual stellar guitar and keyboard playing from Mike, as well as some nice flutes, wind chimes (obviously), and the unmistakable touch of Simon Phillips. The rest of the album consists of vocal pieces. Normally, this would be a downer for Oldfield, but unlike subsequent albums (say, Earth Moving) the vocal pieces here are actually interesting. Magic Touch, especially, is really quite good, and deserved to be quite a hit (which, alas, it wasn't.) The rest of the pieces are quite good as well, though not quite on it's level, and the closing title track features vocals from the (then) red-hot (commercially, I mean) Bonnie Tyler. An absolute must-own album for Oldfield fans, one of his very best.
