Larry Fast played the "synths & processing" on PG's song No Self Control. I would guess he's partly (if not greatly) responsible for what your hearing. Also Robert Fripp played the "Guitar - Burst", John Giblin is credited for the bass and one of my favorites, Kate Bush, sings. Tony Levin plays the stick on a number of songs on the record, but not on this song (according to the album jacket).

>Ommadawn has that Celtic/gentry/Middle Earthy feel about it -- if you let it.
I get lots of pastoral vibes out of Oldfield's first three - I assume that's based on some rural living situation he had at the time, "Hergest Ridge" anyone? - but not being a fan of things Tolkien, and having an interest in Celtic stuff that goes only as far as "Jig of Life" by Kate Bush, I guess I don't "let it" :)

In the meantime, I'll listen to it again and maybe I need to recalibrate my ears (won't be the first time). :) (I felt the same about Kate Bush 'Hounds of Love'... both of these sounded way too much like just plain old POP ROCK to me. Maybe I just get turned off by so much on the vocals.)

>I have with Reinassance the same problem you have with ELP. Which record by them would you suggest me?
My choices for the Renaissance novice would be Prologue and Scheherazade And Other Stories, but for sentimental reasons I would add Live At Carnegie Hall. Annie Haslam really lets fly on the live rendition of Ashes Are Burning. It was because of Annie Haslam and Kate Bush that I started to get into female vocalists.
