Comments

Somewhat of an oddity of Mike Oldfield albums in that it's composed entirely of pop tunes. Even more oddly, the last two occupy one track on the CD. Though none of these tunes reached the dizzying chart heights that "Moonlight Shadow" did, they're all fairly good in their own right, and quite hummable.

This album is not highly regarded amongst Oldfield fans, but I quite enjoy it. Despite some dodgy lyrics at times, it has a charm of its own. Very much a product of the 80s.
