as far as i know it was recorded in middle sevenenties beetwen OMMADAWN and INCANTATIONS - i don't know the exact reasons why he released it along with SHINE after almost 10 from recording....maybe he has lost it? anyway - better later than never!

Sure, we all know Mike Oldfield has lost it  :p  :D

Seriously, though, if I remember correctly this piece was specially written for the Space Movie or the Stonehenge movie or some other movie... and therefor not released properly, and I guess the Shine single seemed as good an opportunity as any to finally give it an official release.

Stonehenge movie? You mean Reflections (1976)? Because in this movie you can hear a piece from "The Path". So, there you are. :)

Actually, it is just called "Reflection". It was a Arts Council Film. I remember reading an interview of Mike at that time where he talked about the guy.

"In fact, I'm doing the music for a film at the moment by a guy called Keith Critchlow. It's a film about the relationship between... everything - to everything else. He uses geometry and patterns that you find in flowers and microscopic sea life, and human pieces of work like Chartres Cathedral. It's an Arts Council thing, about fifty minutes long, and I'm enjoying that."

I've seen the film. Very interesting! I like those documentries with this 70's atmosphere around it. It does not only feature Mike's music, but also by somebody called Alan Hacker. Actually, you can hear the very first mixes of Incantations in this film (which Mike made shortly before he went in the Exegesis thing).

Unfortunately, the director Keith Critchlow didn't become much of a fame after this period. His latest works were cheap horror movies.
