 Rating:  - One great albumBorn in 85 i wasn't really able to enjoy this music at it's peak, howeve my mom had it on lp and it rocked the house and as i got older i thought that i just have to get this on cd and i was right the whole cd is spectacular my favorite track is of course the 25 minute Taurus II followed by Family man and of course Five Miles Out Rating:  - Mike Oldfield approaches pop but makes safe detourThis is a great collection to listen to while you are working.

"Family man" is a ironic fast catchy pop song (Maggie Reilly on vocals) that was a big hit across the europe - later covered by Hall and Oates synth pop duet. "Orabidoo" is another great hypnotic track with a transe drums and ...
