2 stars This album is totally over-rated. It is a bad remake of a once great reciepe, Bad ingredients ("happy", textes, phone rings ???), weak direction. I understand nostalgia of the great 70's era of Mike oldfield drive people to over-rate whatever has any, vague ressemblance to Ommadawn, but one must try to keep head cool. Since when recycling old material with a decade later, with nearly no creativity, makes for a great album ? There is nothing "great" here, just average. It's a fan thing only, with, obvisouly, a great effort on recording and mixing. That's not enough. Beside that, the world music edge is not my cup of tea. Sorry folks.
