Simon Slator @simonslator.substack.com · Nov 5 Was I mad to buy the 35th Anniversary 2xLP of Mike Oldfield's "Amarok" even when I own the CD version? Not really. I don't mind it broken up into quarters - it's chance for a comfort break or to refill my mug, and the side breaks do kind of work where they are. #nowplaying #musicsky #vinylsky

Okay - not as good as they do on "Incantations" - but that was DESIGNED to be a double vinyl. "Amarok" wasn't, but still works surprisingly well as one. Personally, I'd have started Side 4 a bit later, so it begins with the "Africa" segment heard on "Elements", but that would be nitpicking.
