![]() DAVID BEDFORD is a genius. If this were longer I'd give it five stars. 4.5 stars. P.S. I have now become familiar with Oldfield's 1979 re-master of Hergest Ridge and, while at first I found myself resistant to the added or amped up vocals, I have now become comfortable with them and understand and appreciate the more 'complete' feeling Mike must have had once he'd remastered it. I had no knowledge of the pressure and rush he was under when first composing and recording this, the follow up to Tubular Bells. It is even more remarkable, then, that this came out such a pastoral, medieval folkish masterpiece. Bump this sucker up to 5 stars! It is a masterpiece!
