SANCTUARY III

A little late to the party on Sanctuary 3. Sanctuary 1 was music that Oldfield should have been putting out rather than some of the past Poppy type efforts like Man on the Rocks. which joined Earth Moving and Heavens open in the I've got the album, but never listen to it" basket. Im a huge long standing Oldfield fan, Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn rate as the best two Albums ever for me. So Sanctuary 3......well Sanctuary 1 was good, Sanctuary 2 Ive never really got into it reminds me a bit of Amarok which is not one of my favourites, but Sanctuary 3 is just indescribably excellent.

Rob has captured the best of all the Oldfield sounds imaginable and added his own brand and style. Its an amazing piece of music and evokes those goosebump moments from early Oldfield themes. Ive played it over and over again since it arrived. Its far superior to Return to Ommadawn which I like but I dont love. This album, I adore

Rob if you read this, please keep on making the music we all crave.....along with the Magenta and Kompendium styles...an amazing talent, youve filled the gap Mike left gaping open. Thank you for the music.
