Tr3s Lunas, eh? Ever wondered what it must be like to live on a strange faraway planet orbited by three moons? Thought not. However, this is the very same question asked (and answered) by the dependably adaptable and not-mad-really multi-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield on the title track of this, his 22nd album. This kind of New Age mumbo-jumbo not withstanding, Tr3s Lunas is a perfectly pleasant record. Conceived at a favourite restaurant during a recuperative sojourn in the haste-sapping sunshine of Ibiza, Tr3s Lunas is Oldfield's self-confessed "chill out" album.
Given the it's unhurried pace, emphasis on creamy guitar lines and shimmering atmospherics together with--thematically speaking--some contented personal reflections on the joys of a non-materalistic lifestyle, it couldn't be any more "chilled out" if it came with an advisory sticker cautioning against listening to it whilst operating machinery.
Not a man much given to the daily hurly-burly and cut-and-thrust of today's shop-'til-you-drop society, Oldfield prefers his own company, be it wandering alone in a desert (on the Spanish flavoured "No Man's Land") or browsing the tombstones in Venetian graveyards ("Daydream") whilst the beauty of horses, insects and turtles are similarly addressed in an atmosphere of tranquil instrumental wonderment. The interactive element of the CD, namely "MusicVR Tr3s Lunas Game", is billed as a "non-violent" musical adventure through deserts and cities, meeting cats, dolphins and scorpions along the way. Bloodlusting, Playstation-fingering thrill-seekers may find its pleasantness hugely off-putting. --Kevin Maidment
