To a fan of early Oldfield works, his last two decades (and a half) might appear as sadly
boring, apart from some fantastic part-instrumental 20-minutes tracks in the 80´s
(Wind Chimes, Crises, Taurus II). These tracks were surrounded by pop songs that
most people would like to forget about today. "Amarok" is a lot different from any of his
works from late 80's and further. It seems almost like an "oasis" in this late Oldfield
catalogue. Previously the LP-format stopped him from doing this length of tracks
(there is only one track on the album which is 60 min long), so on this album he could do
what he does best: Fantastic and highly progressive loooong epics. "Amarok" is
beautyful, surprising, and mysterious, all in one!
