I complete agree with everything you say, Satyagraha.
Subtleness is the quality in music that need most time to appreciate, but it is still one of the most important. 'Hergest Ridge' and 'Incantations' are for me the main examples of that in Mike Oldfield's music. Incantations was the first Mike's album I had, and I thought it would be one of the worst at that time, but after having them all, I can tell for sure it is one of the best five. It's like diving deep into the sea and discovering a hidden treasure, one of the most precious feelings music can give. 'Hergest Ridge' is another example, and I remember in my teenage years, when I was so enchanted by 'Tubular Bells', at the time when I bought 'Hergest Ridge' I couldn't tell which of them was better for me. I am a musician as well, I record my own instrumental music and have 8 Cds so far (home made, but I think with quality), and I'm working in one of them which reaches a lot of that quality, subtleness, mellowness, and I bet people won't love it at the first listen, but it will beguile them in further listens...
I started speaking about Mike's music and ended up speaking about mine's... it's kind of a getting-out of the cot I reckon. Anyway, hopefully soon I'll be able to share some tunes with you all, whenever I have any Internet at home. I am completely sure you'll all enjoy my music. You guess the reason why???
