In the shadows.....
So, welcome to the world of Mike Oldfield, you're probably here because you've heard a song or a snippet of Oldfield's work and want to delve a little deeper. The question is; does this album do the trick? Oldfield is a difficult musician to pin down; at one moment a complex multi-instrumentalist the next a euro-pop song-writer. This makes it hard to pick the tunes that best represent his Arsenal. Over the years we've seen a whole raft of Oldfield compilations and they have nearly all failed to do the job. The trouble is they seem to favour the big sellers over his best work. In Dulce Jubilo and the Blue Peter theme might be guilty pleasures but I doubt they are going to make you want more. There are some great moments on this record, Ommadawn, First Excursion, Diana, Sheba and Aurora for example. But in this age of youtube and the internet you may as well check out the excerpts available there and just dive in and purchase the albums you like the sound of. There is sound reasoning behind this; Oldfield's music is best heard as part of the whole. This may sound odd but it is testament to the fact that Oldfield really is an artist like no other. I recommend skipping the collections and compilations and diving in with Tubular Bells or the excellent Ommadawn and if you like what you hear then delve even deeper with Andrew Taylor's recent Mohribold album. It sounds like a lost Oldfield record from the 70's but with a contemporary edge, just what the Oldfield faithful have been wanting for years! Google it, I downloaded it from a site called bandcamp. In the absence of any decent new Oldfield music, Mohribold will keep me going until Mike re-discovers his mojo. Just a further note, the version of Guilty on this album is slower than you may be expecting. It seems the original vinyl release was actually sped up from the master-tapes. If you want the faster, more well known version on a CD compilation then track down 'The Complete Mike Oldfield' which is a far superior selection to 'Moonlight Shadow The Collection' anyway.

Nichts NEUES?
Leider gibt es von dieser CD keine Hörproben oder Produkinformationen (bis jetzt). Was ist auf dieser CD und was ist anders bei einigen Liedern. Der Sound ist voller, die Stimmen und Gitarrenparts sind klarer als auf den älteren CD's (Originalen). Ich habe alle Originale mit den Liedern auf dieser CD verglichen (hat mich einige Stunden gekostet und die Nerven meiner Frau) und hier mein Ergebnis: Nr. 1 "Tubular Bells" (13:32) in etwas neuem Gewand (Remaster von 2012) Nr. 2 "Ommadawn" (3:41) wie oben, ein Teil des Liedes (Remaster von 2009) Nr. 3 "In Dulce Jubilo" (2:54) Single Version von 1975 (Remaster von 2013) Nr. 4 "First Excursion" (5:55) von 1975 (Remaster von 2013) habe ich in dieser guten Qualität/Version noch nicht gehört. Nr. 5 "Diana" (6:36) super Aufnahme (Remaster von 2011) Nr. 6 "Airborne" (5:04) bessere Aufnahme (Remaster von 2000) Nr. 7 "Guilty" (4:16) Single Version von 1979 Nr. 8 "Blue Peter" (2:09) (Remaster von 2009) Nr. 9 "Sheba" (3:35) gab es in dieser Version schon 2000 (Remaster von 2000) Nr. 10 "Mount Teidi" (4:13) gleiches wie Nr. 9 (Remaster von 2000) Nr. 11 "Moonlight Shadow" (3:41) auch hier kommen Stimme und Sound klarer rüber (Remaster von 2000) Nr. 12 "Good News" (1:47) von The Killing Fields Album (Remaster von 2000) Nr. 13 "Amarok" (5:07) ein Stück von Part 1/ 1990 (Remaster von 2000) Nr. 14 "Slipstream" (5:18) Aufnahme ist gleich mit 2005 Nr. 15 "Sunset" (4:45) Aufnahme ist gleich mit 2005 Nr. 16 "Aurora" (3:44) Aufnahme ist gleich mit 2007 Wie schon gesagt: Die älteren Lieder sind neu Aufgenommen und alle Titel mit gleichem, sehr gutem Sound. Da die musikalischen Stücke von 1973 bis 2007 zusammen gestellt sind, ist vielleicht auch für den ein oder anderen etwas NEUES dabei. Zu mindestens Qualitativ hat mich die CD voll überzeugt. Man sollte sich alle Titel anhören (geht auch auf verschiedenen Alben) und dann seine Entscheidung selbst treffen. Ich kann dieser CD (aus den oben genannten Gründen) nur eine Empfehlung aussprechen, zumal sie auch noch (glaube ab 3,00 € zu bekommen) recht günstig ist. Mit freundlichen Grüßen an alle Musikfans Ralf Schneider

Moonlight Shadow: The Collection [VINYL]
I have almost all by Mike Oldfield so nothing new here.......almost. One of my favourite albums is 'Amarok'. I have only heard on CD. The snippet offered here sounds astonishing and has made want to seek out the vinyl album. So...it looks like this 'potentially' introduction to Mike Oldfield has done its' job. The Tubular bells snippet seems like the Original mix but sounds very smooth. All tracks do in truth. I suspect some form of compression has been used...maybe? I don't usually agree with some new productions but this works very well. One review staed it is a good introduction to a great artist. I agree! One thing to note are the stunning guitar sounds. It is worth listening to purely to hear them and they really stand out on this compilation.
