And it's that which is attracting us primarily? I'm not totally sure, but I think it may actually. I was listening to Earth Moving a few days ago, and thought it wasn't half bad (where I'd never liked it much before). It may be "just pop" all you like, but it's still Mike Oldfield doing "just pop", and I think that much is true about all his work: it's how he does it, and his very own brand of musicality is present in all of it, even if it may come through more strongly in some things than in others. As for coffee, medium strong, cream (not milk! ) and sugar. Tea - black all the way. (Yes, I know that's not what you meant! ) Back to top

You're right, there is an essence of him in all he does. Strip away all the labelling and the externals, and there's almost always something solid at the root. Back to top

I think the synthetic vocals add an element of power to it that it wouldn't otherwise have. One of my favourite Light tracks. I, too, like the first part but when it starts repeating the same thing I start thinking that Mike could have put a little more into it, but then he could put a little more into the whole album, but still. I'm not complaining.....too much. But that's me . -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Earth is so small and people wishing for love. She withdrafing from? -------------- it's never too late for me Back to top

Somehow similar to Let There Be Light in its mood, but still very original. All in all, I think the entire double-CD is quite successful  indeed. Back to top
