Sally Oldfield comes from a famous musical family. Her brothers, Mike Oldfield and Terry Oldfield, are brilliant multi-instrumentalists. That talent runs in the family. On Flaming Star, Oldfield displays her vocal range, her production expertise, and her brilliant compositional skills. Her voice is the featured instrument. She weaves her delightful vocals through the atmospheres. The soundscape is large and dramatic. The essence of the music is that of a spiritual rebirth. This is deeply devotional music that begets spiritual experiences. This CD will appeal to fans of Vas, Enya, Loreena McKennitt, and Kate Bush.

A great release in the new millenium from Sally Oldfield. The eight minute title track opener is an incantation where SO sings a great backing chorus combined with some beautiful lyric led passages. The Flaming Star is really a spiritually uplifting affirmation of the cosmos and sweetly repetitive." Samurai Of The Sun" is pleasant and has a largely new age feel to it. " Bird Of Paradise" perhaps her most accessibly pleasing song she has ever released, lyrics always referencing " stars" and beautifully ethereal. You might fall in love with her here :-). " One To The Power Of One", another great track. The thirteen minute renditions of " Mirrors" begins with like a Pierre Moelen sounding keyboard solo before her extended song jam gets into swing. She is in high form on this album, lead vocals, backing vocals, the mixing, production, everything is superb. Light up some insense, go for mid volume, kick back, relax and let Sally Oldfield soothe your troubles away. Four credible stars.
