New style in this album, which completely abandons chillout and pop to make way for rhythm-focused electronics. Bjork always knows how to innovate, and this is her latest, beautiful metamorphosis. more
Pop here finally of high class, the best production from Collins (which says a lot about the rest). Many beautiful and well-made tracks. But a prog album from Collins we will never have. more
I give a 5 to Exogenesis, which is their best work, light-years away from any other music they've composed. It seems that the three of them focused on that during the three years of its creation, because the rest (rating 2.5) only features Uprising (a new Time is Running Out) and Unnatural Selection. For the rest, there are too many references to other artists and it's too pop. The Pink Floyd did the same with Atom Heart Mother: the suite is beautiful, less so the rest. more
Perfect fusion of the darkness of Mirage and the rhythm of Moondawn. Excellently achieved, yet another masterpiece. more
Perhaps, along with Moondawn, the most complete of Schulze. Unforgettable is the first track. more
Together with Mirage, my favorite. A real addiction, I will soon celebrate 30 years of dependency. more
After years, a return to great heights, predecessor of the magnificent collaboration with Gerrard. A return to the formula of three long tracks and to a style familiar to Klaus. On the threshold of 60 years, a warm welcome back to the master. more
An album that should have been limited to the spectacular final suite. The first three tracks are ugly and uninspired. more
The anteroom of the passage to "simple" music will not be memorable. Beautiful the eponymous suite, in all its parts. more
A rather ugly album, the only save being the opening track (Taurus). more
It opens with another unforgettable hit, To France, and closes with a beautiful track, The Lake. The title track is also lovely, the only song where Barry Palmer's voice makes sense. Everything else is boring (quote), but the album is good overall. more
The worst album by Mike. A failed pop work, no interesting tracks, a complete lack of inspiration. He could have taken a break and spared us such rubbish. more
The fruit of the fury against Virgin yields good results, the best Oldfieldian work of the '80s. more
A highly successful journey into Celtic music with rearrangements of traditional pieces mixed with original compositions. Beautiful and catchy. more
Good album, great arrangements, an attempt to adapt Tubular Bells to new electronic horizons, but only halfway successful. Too far from the original, yet good overall. more
'Overall, from a solo guitar album I expected more, considering Mike's talent with the instrument. Nice but after a while quite monotonous...' more
A re-recording of Tubular Bells (the original) with separate tracks and "renewed" sounds. Good but unnecessary; a remastered version like the one from 2009 would have been more than enough. more
Oldfield's classic work, beautiful and moving. The only flaw is the style too similar to a film score, but no one is perfect. more
I confirm what has already been said before, a record born from a complete crisis of inspiration and nothing more. more
First album in the chillout style that struck Oldfield in the 2000s. A bit predictable in the arrangements, catchy without making an impact. more
