Like the latter, \u003ci\u003eMillennium Bell\u003c\/i\u003e is a concept album. The only problem is that the concept in question is a fairly unwieldy one, namely the evolution of music from to 1 AD to the present day. It soon becomes evident that Oldfield's ambition has this time outstripped his talent, as he switches his inspirational focus from the Peruvian Incas to medieval Venice to prohibition era America. Where his epic dynamics were once exciting, they now seem hopelessly pompous, and his attempt to combine classical, choral, rock and dance music ends up sounding like the product of an ill-fated alliance between Nigel Kennedy, Aled Jones, Sash! and several members of Status Quo. \u003ci\u003e--Ed Potton\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 766485648228\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0784280583605\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 685738088522\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45963402903586,"sku":"ST-SRTD-VE7P","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/513sNsd-8mL.jpg?v=1783653515","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/mike-oldfield-the-millennium-bell-cd-used","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
