3 stars I know that this is not Oldfield's best album and even some people don't treat this one as his album as it does not represent his main musical style. But, I really enjoy this album for a very simple reason: it's relaxing and accessible. Well, as prog fans we need some "change" to a lighter music, I guess. And this album serves that purpose really well. From the opening track "To France" with great vocal by Maggie Reilly to my favorite (and chief reason to purchase this CD) "Poison Arrows". It's not prog at all, but I really enjoy this track because the combination of music and Barry Palmer's vocal work is truly stunning! "Discovery" and "Saved By The Bell" are also another excellent track that I enjoy most. Keep on proggin'..!
