I finally managed to hear the full song [thanks, Dkay! ] and my view on it is that, in addition to being absolutely nothing special, it's exactly what I expected it to be: Mike Oldfield meets Debut-Album-Deep Forest. There is really nothing else to it, at least IMHO, even if I do like Mike returning to his Voyager-ish PRS (yes, it's definitely the Horse-Guards-Parade-Concert-First-Half-of-Moonlight-Shadow-Solo PRS... Ray was right...) and to some vaguely KillingFields-ish synth sounds (from 2:42 onwards), playing a melody that, when performed by him, sounds half-religious (a kind of follow-up to L+S's Closer) and half-traditional-Irish. When the tribal choir sings it, however, it becomes something else... as the whole thing moves deeper into the forest.
