i have been in love with this mans music since radio plays of tubular bells opened my ears to a vision that has reached many highs and a few lows. this album proves......GOD IS BACK BIG TIME.
I HAVENT ENJOYED ON FIRST PLAY AN ALBUM SO MUCH SINCE AS FAR BACK AS INCANTATIONS. EACH track weaves a musical spell that leaves you wanting more , getting better as you get further into the magical sound play that mike has created. if you thought the king was dead.....think again.

I love this album. Forget the music snobs - this is lovely, relaxing, hypnotic music. Comforting but with a tingle. In the way that Puccini knew how to write songs in the middle register that most twangs the human heart, so this music appeals and lingers. It is memorable, haunting and yet comfortable. I never get tired of listening to it. I don't always want to be challenged, but I don't want to listen to schlock either. This is the perfect happy medium. Enjoy.

I am absolutely flabbergasted by the excellent reviews on this album. coments like starts off soft and ends with a bang, a kick ass album. What album are you peeps listening to I would like to know. there is nothing at all on this album that ends it like a bang. As a matter of fact, it ends with a load of africans chanting, just like peter gabriels Biko. Coments like this is a classical masterpiece and the future of classical music. Where do you peeps get off. I could have written this album blind folded. i am a big fan of Mike oldfieds music, and I mean a big fan, who has purchased every album the guy as ever made. And I can honestly say that this album is probably the worst album mike as ever made. Were are the instruments. All he as done, ... Read More:
Rating: - Mike's Best Work Ever?
You are either a big fan of Mike Oldfield or you probably haven't heard of him. When he dies he will be remembered for his concept debut album, Tubular Bells and this album won't get a mention.
But I believe this to be his finest hour. Mike has gone on record (excuse pun) that he was never completely satisfied with Tubular Bells so who am I to complain?
SoDE is a unique album. Never before nor since has he managed to create such variety and depth in a jam packed recording.
The album has 17 tracks but ostensibly they run on giving an uninterrupted listening experience.
The album starts off fairly quietly and finishes up with a bang. As usual, Mike likes to build up his music so that his best efforts are usually at the end. ... Read More:
