I'm a bit surprised by this. I'm sure you sung some praises for Mike Oldfield at one point  Thought it might have been your thing.

I think you're confusing me with somebody else.

This is a real circle-jerk we've got going here. It's not that good, guys.

Definitly 'of its time'. The concept and execution sound are very dated today, but I respect the album for the ideas and the sheer ambition of it, for what it is, when it was made. Obviously it's got a big reputation now for booting Virgin, but I think there's a lot of charm to the idea when it first came out that it was made primarily by just one guy.
It's practically deviod of any 'feeling' or 'soul', but it's careful considered enough to be interesting, and holds some really solid melodies and moments, especially in the first half.

Alongside Watermark and Heavy Weather in the pantheon of great albums that are so uncool Urkel wouldn't be caught listening to them. I like it, and unironically.
