Have to agree. I listened to it, but, wow, this is simply not good at all. It actually makes me think, perhaps Oxygene 1 is not that great either, and it’s just my nostalgia forming my opinion (since Oxygene belongs to the first music I’ve listened to in my life).

PS: sorry about the mess Emperor, but at least you get a nice new bath room! :)

After 15 minutes I realised that I didn't like the "acoustic" set in the beginning at all, a bit later I was underwhelmed by new arrangements of his songs, and overall I was shocked to see that my all time favourite musical hero was now an old man in a weird coat.

We went from "just glueing the stones back" to "complete renovation" in a couple of hours, and now we suddenly are in this huge mess.

There's loads of strangers going in and out, making a terrible amount of noise, using our bathroom, eating at my dining room table, burping, shouting, leaving the door open all the time (it's cold!). And they start work at 7:30 in the morning, so I have to get up at 7:00. Oh, and we have to shower at some neighbours house.
