4.0 out of 5 stars I seem to like this more than most people, 5 Aug 2003
By GoonMoon (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
Yes, there's a certain degree of naffness to this, as with most of Oldfield's song-heavy albums. For all that, I find it very listenable. There are three weak tracks on it: Hostage, Runaway Son and See The Light. The rest are pretty good, with the opener (Holy), the title track and the final, double-header track (Nothing/Bridge To Paradise) particularly strong. But most of all, the production on this album is excellent, giving most of the songs a rich, lush quality that make them come alive on a decent sound system. Play the CD on a weedy or thin-sounding system and you probably won't find much to write home about.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good songs, good album!, 3 Aug 2000
By A Customer
As a fairly long-standing Oldfield fan I have to say this is one of my favourite albums - especially as it also features Mark Williamson (who I like, even if you never heard his stuff). This isn't the typical Oldfield album - no long instrumental track, but it is lively, enjoyable, and Earth Moving is definitely the 1 track I would have to have on that mythical desert island!

2.0 out of 5 stars Is this really Oldfield?, 28 Sep 2001
Oldfield's delving into vocal songs provided some good results ("Moonlight Shadow", "To France"), but unfortunately, it left his music very shallow and his immense talents almost non-existent. "Earth Moving" is the only Oldfield album to be 100% vocal - all the songs are of a late-80s pop style that, despite all efforts, do sound bland and uninspired. On face value alone, "Holy" (sung by King Crimson's Adrian Belew) stands out quite favourably, as does his reunion with Maggie Reilly on the tasteful "Blue Night". Sadly, the rest of the tracks are mere satisfactory pop fluff - listenable and likeable but a sheer waste of Oldfield's talents, especially when you consider the masterpiece of "Amarok" was just 12 months around the corner. Still, considering the shallow commercialism of late-80's pop, "Earth Moving" certainly ranks above the chart-toppers in terms of musical quality. My recommendations are: if you prefer vocal works, try "Heaven's Open" where Mike finds a more consistent and personal approach which, against all odds, works better than on this CD. If you'd rather have a modernised bona-fide old-school Oldfield instrumental, you can do no wrong in buying "Amarok". Every musician has an off day, but at least this is something Oldfield has not repeated.
