Now four years have passed since RTO, and Mike has been silent for so long, it seems like this might have been the last word from him in his music career.

I hope I'm wrong, and I will be pleased if I am.

But if I am right, how does that make you feel? Are you happy with RTO as his final statement? I am. It's not his best, it's not his worst, but it is pure Oldfield and is better than we have any right to expect from someone who has done so much already.

Yes, this could be very well be the end. RTO is not as enjoyable as some of Mike's early work, but I still like it very much. Its evocative nature and the sense of homecoming it relays make it special to my heart.

I have a feeling that he does have at least one other album in him, but Return to Ommadawn is a good way to go out if you like, as it marks a circle to his first albums being a Part 1 & Part 2 album, I still really like the album.

Very nice ending if it is indeed the end - hopefully not

Yes I am just so happy for what Mike had already given us. It was really rare and special.

Yes it would be a fine album to end on but I can't help feeling that there'll be another Tubular Bells  (TB5? TB6? I've lost count) before Mike finally retires.

He has talked about TB4 for many years now, but alas, we still don't have it.
