I'll never forget the first time (of many times) that I heard Incantations. OH MY GOD...where was I going. I felt like I was remembering something that I....couldnt possibly have knowledge of. Something ancient. I felt like getting up and doing some sort of tribal dance. I was totally entranced by it. This bit here at 8.04 and onwards....oh god it brings tears to my eyes its so good....
Sei Mitico...il mio idolo, proprio da questo brano ho scoperto la tua musica e da allora non vedo l'ora che esca un tuo lavoro.....io al tuo concerto a Udine cero...
I really wish to God Mike would go onto tour and revisit old tunes such as Incantations and my particular fav, Hergest Ridge.....In fact I just wish he would tour!
Wow, traded in my Barbie dolls to buy this album when living in Hastings! To see this live and properly performed, WOW, I can still type the words to the song, as I did in 1980
Got to admit, I am a person that usually likes thrash/death metal, with a lapse into some classical and prog rock. But, Mike Oldfield taught me a vital lesson; that not all music needs strepsil sponsored vocals and power chords to sound cool.
WhobearUK, I salute you. Cheers for sharing these amazing videos. If I ever cross paths with you one day, I would buy you a pint. Many thanks!

Listening to this was the closest I got to taking drugs. Who needs 'em with this kind of experience?
