Yep, I have a few Oldfields in my collection. The trouble with Mike is that
some of his stuff is really good (TB, Ommadawn, Amarok) and some is kinda
mediocre (Heaven's Open). I've always thought Kate would make a pretty good
job of "Moonlight Shadow", although it would take something to beat Maggie
Reilly's vocals...
