Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
This is a live performance in Knebworth of the Tubular Bells, Guilty theme, and a part of Ommadawn.Absolutely superb, it is perhaps the most lively and energic way of playing these tunes. Unluckily enough, they are cut by five introductions and explanations by Mike Oldfild, which do through some light on his interests but make an inconvenient pause in the enjoying of the music. Make yourself with a copy of it. You won't regret it.Similar performances to be found in the live section of the Complete Mike Oldfield set, and the live excerpts in the complete 4box set of the Elements edition.
