Well, I haven't heard much of "Spirit Of The Rainforest". However his "Spirit Of Africa" album is an entirely different, it has a variety of different styles and moods running through it. Also Terry's flute playing is much more prominent, and T. Oldfield is a very talented flautist IMHO. Witness his contributions on some of Mikes earlier work...
Incidentally, I also heard Mike in an interview say that he "like my brother and sisters records"...
Also, repition is a technique that mike himself has used quite often. Parts of "Incantations" (Hiawatha, Hymn To Diana), "Platinum" (Platinum Part 2: Platinum, Woodhenge), "Hergest Ridge" (the thunderstorm sequence) and "The Killing Fields" (Evacuation, The Year Zero, Worksite) are EXTREMELY repetitive (although not boring I might add).
Some of Terry's work is quite similar in style to Mike's earlier work in fact...
