It always leaves it very interesting. Can't help but think how much i prefer his mamoth epic albums though.. The one's where there's no cuts from one tune to the next but they just seemingly merge tiny little melodies into one huge track.. like in Tubular Bells, Amarok, etc.. The albums he's released over the last 10 years always follow the same format 1 song followed by another of a different melody. Not that i'm complaing about that, i like his work fullstop but i do miss the albums that just seemingly develop and grow throughout. For me Mike has always been about slow progression in a song and thats what really got me hooked onto his work. The way he played around in 30 mins with a melody for it later to return in the track slightly changed and the whole album seemed to progress usually ending in a big finish. Back to top
