Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Nice Collection.......2005-04-09

Finally all the singles-stuff on one cd, the 1st, and, unknown but interesting, soundtrack-pieces on the 2nd. Highlight, however , on the 2nd the underestimated excerpt from Mike's 2nd album "Hergest Ridge".

2 out of 5 stars Not for general audience.......2004-12-24

For collectors or Anita Hegerland fans, a must buy item.

If you are an entry level Mike Oldfield listener(first time shopper who is wondering which CD to buy as your first Mike's CD), avoid this. This 2 CD set can never be the "Best" or "Greatest" set - mere sampling platter created by AI or human being without respect for the music or art.

"Picture in the dark" and "Innocent" sung by Anita Hegerland are rare items for collectors.

Disc 1 is collection of short songs for FM stations or driving, disc 2 is the evidence of the bad taste. I hate the way the publisher cut and shorten the original songs to pack up as many songs in a CD to make up CD set attractive. This will kill the music.

Graphics and pictures are also rough and bad.
