In a few words:

Gather your friends to your balcony, take your favorite drink, and put this album to the CD player. Alternatively, go to a beach, lay down to the sand and watch the sea waves while listening to this album. As you might think, the current album is highly recommended for summer-listening. Very relaxing and with many beautiful melodies, it will make your summer nights fantastic. It is quite underestimated considering Oldfield's discography and I really don't know the reason. The melodies are really catchy and the various electronic beats create a really chill-out atmosphere. The female voices are quite good and enhance the whole relaxing atmosphere. Personally speaking, this album is one of favorite summer soundtracks.

Personal highlights:
"No Mans Land", " Landfall" and "Turtle Island"
