I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

It is one of Oldfield's albums I have not gotten around to reviewing, yet, but I really like it. A solid 3.5 hours to 4 stars in PA ratings, I love the Celtic themes and the rock/folk fusion. The electronic percussion was simply a thing of its time, and it doesn't bother me overly.

Any love for Oldfield's Voyager? It's actually one of my favourite albums he released (along Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn obviously), and I don't think it gets the appreciation it deserves. The only drawback to it imo is the electronic percussion and fortunately it is not present on every track.  

Anybody else thinks it's great?
