Mike Oldfield
1973
Tracks
1. Part One
2. Part Two
I red flagged this album immediately after reading its description in the book. The book described the album as music to play while eating dinner and a tad bit annoying. Even Mike Oldfield thought it wasn't that good. So why are we listening to it again?
Well, anyway, I wasn't expecting The Exorcist theme to play for like ten minutes at the beginning. It sort of creeped me out, to be honest, since I was alone. He then proceeds to outline what instruments he is playing throughout the album (i.e. "glockenspiel" and then a glockenspiel plays; fascinating, right?).
Overall, that was just weird. I mean, some of the melodies were pretty but his stupid voice ruined it (can you tell I am fussy from being sick?). An album filled with bells. Represents the early seventies perfectly:p.
RATING: 3/5 (ok, so I always appreciate a movie soundtrack; get off my back)
