 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."
