As I increase my Mike Oldfield collection I finally got QE2 (as I'm trying to get them in order), this was my next stop. First up is Taurus 1 and it feels fantastic, the classic touch of Oldfield. Pulsing and haunting at the same time, which is followed by Sheba. There's something about the synthed vocal chanting which really captures me. Both tracks have it and make them very special in combination to the rich musical environment.
A very good reworking of Arrival (a track by ABBA)is also here, nice and atmospheric.

Wonderful Land is a great tribute to The Shadows, again the reworking is brilliant. The title track QE2 has tones of the first two on this album, like a continuing thread which feels totally comfortable.
The other tracks: Conflict, Celt and Molly are great tracks in their own right and fit nicely within the framework of the album as a whole.
If your a collector of Oldfield albums, or just looking to enter his wonderful world of music, I recommend QE2 as a brilliant choice.

One of the best albums by Mikael Oldfield. I like almost every track. I have it on download and vinyl. The album was originally released on 31 October 1980. I think it's time for an 30th Anniversary Edition release. Any one that agrees?

One of the first albums I bought, and stil one of the best. Other Mike Oldfield ones are a bit too wierd for me, this is just beautiful, 20+ years on...

Some nice pieces with a nautical theme
This is one of my favourite albums from Mike Oldfield. Although some of the tracks are cover versions, all of the pieces are of good quality. Read more

horrible cover .
the music inside is far better than the cover would have you think.

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

Mind the gap.....
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. Read more

One of my favourite Oldfield albums
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... Read more

Not the best Oldfield album but still worth having
This album continued Mikes slight decline at the end of the 70's that started with the filler album 'Platinum'. Read more
