Oldfield. Mike - Light + Shade (2005)

The 24th album from this artist from England.

Mike Oldfield does the guitars, grand piano, bass, synths and computers here.

After the awful previous album Tr3s Lunas, I had lost all hope. And the cover art work did not give me any hope either.

This album is a double CD album. That is more than eighty minutes of music.

The two CDs is divided into one acoustic guitars and one electronica. 

The first cd, called Light, is bordering to being new age and is as exciting as watching paint dry on a wall. How could a gifted man like Mike Oldfield sink that low ?

The second cd is more interesting with a lot of half decent electronica. All of it computer generated.

The result is still pretty dire and this is indeed a turkey of an album, despite of that not too dire second cd. But nothing can save this project when the first cd is so dire.

Turkey, it is.

1 point.
