Reviews
-
For a lot of people, Ommadawn is their favourite Mike Oldfield album and its easy to understand why - it's very pleasant and listenable, with a a very satisfying build to a climax on Side 1 and On Horseback in Side 2. The LP sounds so much better than the CD which was very muddy and lacking in dynamics.
