It is from the album Discovery and features Maggie Reilly on vocals. The musical theme used in “To France“ was also used on the first track on side two of the Discovery album, “Talk About Your Life“. It references Mary, Queen of Scots, in its chorus. “...“To France“ holds the perfect mood for a romantic love story without slickness... with it’s Kate Bush like melodies and folkish melody motifs. To the end of the track the delicate arrangements change into a wall of sound made of sharp acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin and atmospheric keys...“ (Progarchives review by Fishy). - Mike Oldfield / vocals, electric, synth, acoustic & electroacoustic guitars, mandolin, Fender Rhodes, synths, electric & synth basses, Oberhei
