Have you ever tried to translate universal love into music?

It's difficult; one can fall into banality or the incomprehensible. With this masterpiece, Mike Oldfield succeeded, it can't be described, it can only be listened to, so if you haven't, go buy it—it's the most brilliant work of one of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century.

 It is captivating music, sometimes hypnotic, undoubtedly inspired.

 The notes... take on life, shape, and color... I see vividly colored butterflies, deep emotions shake my foundations.

 "Ommadawn ideally closes the circle, offering a work less mysterious and more compact, but equally evocative and engaging."

 "An album of such magnitude is quite difficult to explain in detail: it must be listened to in one breath to fully understand it."
