5 stars One of Oldfield's greatest works
From about two minutes into hearing this album for the first time back in 1989, I knew it was something special. While some will take issue with its length or seeming disjointedness, after a few listens its overarching structure, clever self-references, and judicious reuse of major themes becomes more apparent. This is the irreverent and playful Mike we heard on the first Tubular Bells, but with 16 more years of experience making magic in the studio, and seemingly on a mission to create something challenging. This was also the first album I ever heard that used the rear channels of Dolby surround systems, whether or not it was intentional, and the sound is incredibly pristine and dynamic. If you're at all a fan of Oldfield's progressive works, you absolutely need this album.

5 stars So far so, far so far so...
I'm ..happy.. to say that I've spent my entire life searching for music. This album is by far the most precious treasure I've found. I would go so far as to say this is the most important piece of music written since Beethoven wrote his 9th symphony. Unfortunately Mike Oldfield is perhaps the most unknown and unappreciated talent of our time.

5 stars Suprising.
Suprising is what you may think when you see that there is only one song on this album. But don't worry it is very enjoyable... much like tubular bells when I think about it. The music has strong rythmic energy. I was waiting to hear tubular bells but was dissaointed to find none, instead i found the bouzouki which is very cool.

5 stars An outstanding rhythmic voyage
60 minutes. One 'happy' track. This work shows Mike Oldfield at his very best: Rhytmic and energetic to the max. It contains an incredible amount of different, catchy rhytmic sequences, and they're all squeezed into just one track. Some would say that this is a waste of good ideas, since there is plenty of original material on this album for several "normal releases". But the rest of us are just happy that Oldfield for the first time in many years did EXACTLY like he pleased. It is both traditional, gaelic, experimental, rock, choral and grotesque. Perhaps it would be easier to mention the (few) instruments that Oldfield DOESN'T play! After 54 minutes, a grotesque parody of Margaret Thatcher appears. This little sketch was done by the actress Janet Brown, who also played Prime Minister Thatcher on the TV satire show "Spitting Image". If you're disappointed with this album, it's because you lack a sense of musical humour, otherwise you'll love this essential Oldfield album for the rest of your life... And one more thing: This album can make you 'happy'(!)

Enya And Winter Came... CD  (2008)

Amarok
CD $11.85  3.5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Unlike Enya's 2006 EP, CHRISTMAS SECRETS, with which it shares no tracks, AND WINTER CAME is not a traditional Christmas album. It's more impressionistic than most, placing a handful of Christmas songs such as "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" in the midst of a shimmering soundscape of keyboards, strings, and Enya's trademark overdubbed vocal chorales. The mostly original material does an exceptional job of evoking a comforting midwinter landscape without resorting to sleigh bells or other Christmas music clichés. Highlights include "White Is in ...

Tangerine Dream Phaedra CD  (1974)

Amarok
CD $9.45  4.2 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Widely considered one of Tangerine Dream's masterworks, fallout from the sonic phenomenon that is PHAEDRA can still be found lingering in the ambient movement of the early '90s and in much of contemporary electronica. The aural architecture that the band built from scratch remains unparalleled. Tangerine Dream was truly ahead of its time--the four epic-length tracks on PHAEDRA revealed a band that fully understood--and loved to manipulate--the complex array of knobs, dials, and switches that protruded from their synthesizer facades. The title track is an almost spooky exercise in synth/sequencer tension and dynamics: while eerie atmospheres of Mellotron go head to head with spiraling Moogs, dense, humming sequencer webs percolate along the surface, motile and mobile. The album's closer, "Sequent C," leaves the listener breathless, as black electronic clouds form and dissipate and the surrounding space becomes corporeal sound. PHAEDRA remains one of the seminal recordings ...

Memphis Bleek Understanding CD  (2000)

Amarok
CD $11.99  4 stars Audio Samples
Memphis Bleek's 1999 debut album COMING OF AGE, besides being the only hip-hop album of the year that didn't include any intentional misspellings in its title, signaled the rapper's emergence from the shadow of his more experienced mentor Jay-Z. THE UNDERSTANDING picks up where its predecessor left off. With his individual artistic status already satisfactorily established, Bleek is free to pursue his lyrical muse wherever it leads him. While his approach can't be said to have softened, Bleek does intersperse the thug-life themes with less overtly criminalistic scenarios. Though Jay-Z makes a few guest appearances on THE UNDERSTANDING, it's more as a peer paying his respects than a teacher keeping tabs on his student. Explicit Lyrics Engineers ...

Amarok
CD $13.29  4 stars Audio Samples
Flute virtuoso Nicholas Gunn takes his meditative wanderings past his usual Southwest terrain and deep into the wilds of South America and Spain for this breath-centric offering. Untamed percussion, impassioned backup vocals, and acoustic guitar both support and occasionally are mimicked by Gunn's nimble flute work in the lively opener. Other tracks delve into Spanish flamenco flavors ("Rosarita Sunset") and rainforest idylls ("Sacred Journey"). Evocative landscapes of sound blend the peace of a Zen meditation with the untamed beauty of the Andes in "La Morada in El Tempo Antiguo." The sound of gentle rain leads the combination of romantic flute and moody synthesizers into "Deep Water Island." Through it all, Gunn continually surprises with his dazzling mastery of a variety of ...
