The spirit of 70s Mike Oldfield lives in in this stunning instrumental journey through surreal pastoral landscapes. If I say, 'Think Hergest Ridge / Ommadawn / Taurus' that's only partly true - Taylor is his own musician and goes places Mike never explored. Probably the most original of all the Oldfield apostles - this is an absolute diamond of a find. Buy it! nickgreen90125

The third Sanctuary album is also the best of the trilogy. This one dares even more to expand the Oldfieldian style in new and exciting directions. It may be sacrilege to suggest it, but if this *were* a genuine Oldfield album, many might say it was one of his best, too. It's true that Rob Reed is standing on the shoulders of a giant, but he is a giant talent in his own right.
Often the music brings tears to the eyes, as if it were the soundtrack to the climax of a hard-won cinematic story. nickgreen90125
