Mike Oldfield is one of the world's greatest musicians, and I see Incantations as among his brightest works. If my opinion counts for anything, Incantations should go down in human history as one of the finest musical creations in all of history. I think people will think so for ages and ages. Rating: - If You Know Oldfield, Then Add This to Your Collection; If Your Are Just Exploring a New Sound, Then Definitely Try ItIf you're reading this, I will assume that you fall into one of two listener categories: either you already are familiar with Mike Oldfield's music and are wondering (if you don't already own it) whether this album is worth buying or, you simply are looking to expand your musical listening options by trying somethng different. For those familiar with Mike Oldfield, I will state up front that this review is not directed at you: you already have your opinions as to which Mike Oldfield albums are best, and those among you who have submitted reviews have very clearly articulated why you like or dislike this particular album. That being said, I offer the following: If you enjoy "experimental" instrumental music that I would ... Read More: |
