INCANTATIONS

I moved house last week and the last Cd which was available on my CD player was Incantations, so I listened to it quiet a lot while doing card box boxes. One it is a graet record to do card boxes. Two I got a little bored at the end and looked forward to something with more edge.I love Oldfield in general, I love minimal music too (Steve Reich, Phillip Glass) but there is so little variation in the melodic and rhythmic material...Well that is the whole idea of minimalisme, but IMHO this record is too long. It would have been more interesting cut down to a single record.
