Club Music Fans Rejoice. Oldfield Fans Ignore.

"I wanted to like this single. I really did. I though the CD Single for "Let Their Be Light" has some really nice, dancable stuff on it that still had that Oldfield flare. I wish I could say the same of Far Above the Clouds Part One.As far as club/dance music goes, the first two tracks (the remixes) are pretty good. Not spectacular, but pretty good. The third is "Far Above the Clouds" as it appears on the Tubular Bells III album, so if you already own TBIII (if not, then get it!) there's nothing new in it.I think it's great that Warner is putting some marketing weight behind Oldfield. I hope they continue to do so. I just hope that their efforts will result in something that both old and new Oldfield fans can enjoy. This particular single isn't it."
