Never mind the views, Jim! (even though I know you must think of that too, of course) This is really great music in my ears. I think of Bo Hansson as the swedish Mike Oldfield, both of them with troubled souls, and both of them coping with it by creating beautiful instrumental music! Anyway: cudos to you for going a bit off the beaten track, and for your honesty.
In a world with a vast selection of music albums to choose from, this is certainly one of them. 😁 I definitely wouldn't be returning to this either, Jim!
You're being kind here - 'Almost hypnotic' = essentially dull. 'You've got to applaud the ambition' = tried hard but it didn't work. 'There we go. I think that's the end' = Thank God that's finished. As I said on side 1, I have a copy and now I know why it must be 10 years since I last played it.
Hi Jim, I must say, I like the Lord of the rings album a lot more; this is quite boring here and there. You have to get used to his music. You certainly have to listen to it when you’re relaxing or even better Niksen; the dutch Zen way of doing nothing.
Competent, but rather uninspiring. I haven’t heard this album, though I did have the “Lord of the Rings” album many years ago. I thought that one was better, though not great.

Hi. Enjoyed side 2 more than side 1. Pleasant overall.
Pleasant.. isn’t the best compliment! I agree 😁
@@JimNewstead True. But sometimes, pleasant is comfortable enough 🙂

That’s a very fair assessment!
My copy still looks brand new. Might have played it twice in nearly 50 years. Beginings, but not carried through.....

I always try to be kind!

Quite boring here, there and almost everywhere!
