Active compensatory factors: The musical gene is strong in the Oldfield family. Not only Mike, but also his brother Terry, and sister - Sally.

I bought this album thinking that her style was going to be similar to that of Maggie Reilly (Moonlight Shadow). Sadly, it's not. It's a bit plumier, not so light and Celtic sounding (even though she was born in Ireland), and so, it doesn't move me in the way Maggie's vocals do.
Where do they all belong? She appeared on a number of Mike Oldfield's earlier albums, the first four, so I'll leave it at that.
