Initially, I found the beginning of Part Two to be entirely too congested and irritating!
As with other Oldfield works, (HR in particular,) after several listens I realized the intent was to create the dramatic contrast between the unnerving beginning of Part Two of Ommadawn and the very quiet and serene guitar section directly afterward - the chaos and then the peace - so to speak; the emotion of each part totally enhanced by the other.
Now that I "get it" (as many have said in these forums,) I respect how each part depends on the other, something Oldfield knew from the start...
