Texas - Ricks Road - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Ever the sonic experimentalist, Mike Oldfield uses guitars exclusively (strummed, plucked, struck, sampled, and more) to create every sound on InchGuitarsInch. The more delicate, acoustic pieces, such as InchSummit Days,Inch InchMuse,Inch and InchEnigmatismInch possess the meditative, elegant quality listeners have come to expect from Mike Oldfield. By contrast, the crunchier rock guitar ensembles seem to lack his usual sense of order and purpose. InchFour Winds,Inch an unfinished cluster of distorted racket, particularly misses it's mark. Innovative and at times beautiful, InchGuitarsInch remains another intriguing experiment from one of modern music's most ambitious icons.

The best of the Scottish band on one volume that includes the single InchIn DemandInch (produced and co-written by Dallas Austin) along with other previously unreleased tracks. The group re-recorded some tunes like InchSo in Love with YouInch, which features the return of original member Craig Armstrong. Gregg Alexander (of New Radicals fame) collaborated on InchMy Inner SmileInch.
