When he released DISCOVERY, he said that it was his "best album to
date".  I wish I had more information in that respect, but Oldfield
fandom in this country is even sparser than Kate fandom.  There don't
seem to be any places to easily get your hands on that kind of
information.

Don't get me wrong -- I LOVE his earlier material.  But I like the
recent stuff too.  Depends on what mood I'm in.

>  My dream list for his female singers include: Kate Bush, Jane
> Siberry, Sinead O'Connor, Claudia Brucken.

My God, another Propaganda fan!  Have you been following the 'Act'
material that Brucken has been releasing with Thomas Leer?  So far
they've released three singles, and their first album should be out
any time now...
