Other info from german sites:
Unter den Fans von Mike Oldfield gibt es eine ganze Reihe von Musikern, die ihrem großen Idol mal mehr, mal auch weniger gut nacheifern. Zu den besten in dieser Riege zählt sicherlich Johan P. van der Voet.

Der Niederländer hat unter dem Pseudonym Soundgram 2002 in seinem Heimstudio das dreiteilige Album "The One Man Journey" im Alleingang aufgenommen. Dabei kommen mehr als 20 Instrumente zum Einsatz, darunter verschiedene Gitarren und Flöten, ein Glockenspiel, Bodhran, Synthesizer und vieles mehr.

Das Resultat ist ein fast einstündiges, überaus mitreißendes Werk, das stark an Mike Oldfields Frühwerke aus den 70ern und "Amarok" angelehnt ist, und dabei mit einem Finale in bester Oldfield-Tradition ausklingt.

I downloaded this from iTunes a while ago and I really enjoyed it. I still listen to it quite frequently.

I don't want to give a review but in places it sounds inspired by MO but not copied from him.

It has recurring themes and motifs and holds together very well as a whole concept album.

Cheers,
Terry.
PS: I am in no way affiliated with Soundgram or Jahan van der Voet - just affiliated with good music! ;-)
