This is a real little gem.
I downloaded it, put it on my player and after a brief sleep played it at 3a.m. I was immediately awake and just listened to it all. Got up, had a drink, coffee to ensure I stayed awake, and back to bed to listen to it again. Wonderful.
I imagine this is how Tubular Bells 2 would have sounded if Oldfield had recorded it straight after the original and not waited 20 years before doing so. I was around for the original release and this is spot on for both the artist and the period. Even down to the odd "duff notes and splicing" of the original.
OK, I would have like an "Oldfield ending" and perhaps a few less themes included to allow a bit of development of some of those that remain, as they are good enough. Minor points though.
This artist is new to me but won't be for long if this is an example of is on offer.
Really enjoyed it!
