The instrumental disc, which is simply absent the vocals, doesn't improve it. It's not the vocals that turn me off, although the singer is a very rote rock singer, it's that what Oldfield does instrumentally normally, would suit a vocal iteration with the right singer, lyrics and lead melody. And it would sound like something recorded in this century.
