4.0 out of 5 stars Mind the gap....., 3 May 2007
By Mr. J. Hulme (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is a good job you don't judge a CD by it's cover! What an uninspired cover, makes a certain cow cover album look special.

I really do love this CD, but in parts, hence the gap.

Taurus 1: Overall it is good, though in places it seems he has been listening to the odd bit of Tomita. Phil Collins on drums.
Seba: Love it, has a great feel to it with these voices almost making sense in parts. Great is the beauty of the human voice. Phil Collins on drums.
Conflict: Not one of his better drum beats, to bloody right there is a conflict, nice tunes but overall oppressed by some of the heavy thrashing.
Arrival: builds in to a great powerful tune.
Wonderful Land: Nice bit of arranging of the Shadows song, pretty good.
Mirage: I think this is the weakest track, it is just the same thing repeated. A slight change here, not enough though. Irritating whining guitars. And it last only 4.31 mins, it does?
QE2: This is better, guitar but not annoying, nice tunes, well done. Sounds like almost Morris dancing music in parts....fantastic. I knew there was a reason why I have bells round my ankles.
Celt: This is a drum beat led track, but this works far better, not so much of a rush unlike the track conflict.
Molly: Lovely Lovely, this is a joy far too short, but what a way to end. The bits you are not kean on are forgotten and you are wanting more.

Overall. There are truly wonderful pieces of music and some not so great and some filler. but taking it altogether it is not a fantastic album, but it is good and in some places great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Oldfield album but still worth having, 16 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This album continued Mikes slight decline at the end of the 70's that started with the filler album 'Platinum'. A very brash and tinny production does no favours to somewhat plodding melodies. Having said that, there are some gems, notably the cover of the Shadows' Wonderful Land and the cutesy lullaby Molly. This album is Mike treading water but is still worth owning for the few moments of greatness.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourite Oldfield albums, 9 Jul 2005
By A Customer
Maybe it was because it was my first Mike Oldfield album, but I have a soft spot for this album. There are some great parts to Taurus 1 and it leaves you wanting more of Mike Oldfield's distinctive instrumental sound. There is an electric-ey celtic-ey feel to many of the songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars This album is simply the best
Mike has done some great albums in his time, but this is one of the best by far and he should be proud. I would rate this album, one of my all time favourites. Read more
