Sine great albums there. The first half of the 90s were a welcome relief to me after the horror show of the 80s!

I oscillate between favouring Hergest ridge and ommadawn as my favorite, almost on a daily basis! Have you heard "return to ommadawn" - his retirement piece ... simply magnificent.

Yes I'm the same re favourite Oldfield - I put Incantations in there as well.
No , not heard Return to Ommadawn.

I'm constantly surprised how underrated Hergest is

I was going to have 'The Night Fly' but thought it might infringe the one album per artist rule even though it's a solo work.

No problem. Like you I'll have another list next week.
