In the track Silhouette i was sure it was Mike Oldfield on his Guitar in the part near the end that leads in to Shabda, however on hearing the live version it sounds like a Harp. Can anyone shed any light on this.

To me it definitely sounds like Mike on the Classical Guitar on the studio version but maybe it's quite a hard piece to replicate live so Mike left it to the Harpist on the live version???

I had wondered if that was guitar or harp, myself. I'm really not that familiar with the qualities of a harp. I do absolutely love this piece, though, regardless of the mystery instrument.
