Reviews4 Stars Out of 5-"...An Unhurried Journey over Hills and Along Country Lanes...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "HERGEST RIDGE is a 40-minute ramble down a warren of tonally winding landes, with crystal-clear oboes and microlite orchestral textures..."
Some very orchestral stuff in here that really is up there with some great classical music composers! In parts a truly beautiful recording. More a complete work of music than say 'Tubular Bells', which while great and ground-breaking when released, is a somewhat fragmented recording (which is also part of that record's appeal for me).
A fair example of Mike oldfields early work , some good sections and some ok ones . Not able to comment on the remastered aspect though as so long since I heard the original.
