VOYAGER

Okay, I am a great fan of Mike, but this album left me flat. I know it has great musicianship, and probably great Celtic influences and inspiration, but it just seems to be nothing more than a lot of new-age boring music to me. And I REALLY tried to get into it, too. Everytime I played this I was left with nothing at the end and almost no memory of what I had just listened to. It's interesting that a few people compare this to Songs of DIstant Earth but I find that album to be excellent compared to this. This is a very bland and "vanilla" album which turns out to be harmless if dull. COmpared to my favs such as Ommadawn and Five MIles Out this is pap. It is a step above Earth Moving but that's all. I grant it 1 1/2 stars (2). Any the cover???!!!
