Mike Oldfield - Songs Of Distant Earth [ECD] (CD 2005)

I bought this because I collect Mike Oldfield, for that reason alone. I hadn't heard it before or knew anything about it. What a superb collection of themed melodies. I play this CD over and over again, Everytime, I hear something I'd missed previously. I put it on for background music while I'm working at home. Fatal, I just have to stop what I'm doing and listen. I have to follow the musical story, I'm mesmorized by the power and drama, the wonderful incantation on 'Hibernaculum' The great and emotive sorrow of 'lament for Atlantis' The wonderfully fascinating and etheric 'The sunken Forest' The sheer joy and hope of ' A New Beginning'
