If you have liked Maggie from her wonderful days with Mike Oldfield, then I recommend you buy this. Many of the songs are mellow, but they slide thru your ears like your favorite memories. Outstanding cuts include her first single, "Adelena," and one of my all-time fave Maggie tunes, "Talking to Myself." Just for that song alone it was worth the import price. Sadly Maggie has never had much of a US following from what I can tell, outside of those faithful who like the 80s pop CDs by Mike Oldfield. So I hope she can capture a larger audience with this release. If you don't buy this one, start off with her fabulous "best of" collection, THERE AND BACK AGAIN, which includes some great songs from her Oldfield career plus some knock-out beauties from her other solo CDs.

It's not easy to come after Eliot Grev as I think he has already said almost everything, and I do agree with his review !
Well, this album has sounded to me a bit "dull" on first listening (how wrong I was !). Actually the more you listen to it, the more it grows on you, and it's quite impossible to remain indifferent to the sadness and all the emotions that are conveyed by most songs. Very pleasant and appeasing stuff actually. Need I add she has a terrific voice as well ? On the whole, a great pop cd, which of its kind is very close to perfection. Buy it !

This woman can sing. Such a crystalline voice and so much emotion in her delivery. This is more on the mellow side than her previous three but still one of my favorites. Standout tracks are "Reunion" and "Half-light". Stunning. If you like Maggie, check out Sally Oldfield.
