Great CD, i love Mike Oldfiled and his "guitars" are excelent. I have no idea what else could i write in this stupid review to make it at least "100 characters" long, but...hey ! maybe it`s already more than 100, hehehe...Anyways, as i was saying, great CD
I bought Guitars because I've read the background and I liked the idea of an album created purely from the sounds made by the guitar. There are no other instruments on this album - Mike has used tape loops and effects to build a rich symphony of sound to support his excellent compositions. This album shows off all of Mike's skills and his astonishing virtuosity. Definitely worth owning.
Mediocre.42 minutes of doodling on the guitar,quite pleasant but unimpressive.It reminds me of some of his earlier albums though not as good.If you are looking for quality guitar cds I would recommend Paco de Lucia,Bill Frisell,John Scofield,etc.
