Crises

Product Information

minimalist use of only (I think) three instruments, a bass, drums, and a bouncy and bubbly electric piano. It's very chill in a way. Ramirez Guitar - A Spanish guitar, built by José Ramirez of Madrid. Mike owned at least two guitars by Ramirez at the time of recording Crises. The guitar on Taurus 3 is probably the Ramirez flamenco (rather than classical) guitar. Matrix / Runout (Side B stamped, ?= 4 indistinguishable stamped letters/numbers, variant 5): V 2262 B-2-1-A ?

Notably, the melodic song Moonlight Shadow (3:38), with vocals by Maggie Reilly, his famous besteller on single, gave Oldfield a planetary dimension, and this single has the ability to coin a commercial sound and a clear melody where Reilly's voice is perfect.

Reilly also sings on the seductive, cyclical melody of Foreign Affair, again with a light touch. The one instrumental on the second side is the concise but flamboyant acoustic guitar-based instrumental, Taurus 3. Jon Anderson helped create another highlight with In High Places. Having left Yes and already achieving success with Vangelis, he was looking around for other musicians to collaborate with and got in touch with Oldfield. The song was put together in a completely different way to Moonlight Shadow.

Shadow On The Wall 3:10 Those who find the eighties sound (overproduced, sharp-edged, with reverb, dated synths and the like) abhorrent ought to read no further. This album Oldfield can do. It is long, pure prog, and engages the listener from start to finish. I think it is A number of songs from Crises have been covered by numerous acts, with "Moonlight Shadow" being the most popular.

Finally he has found a context in which his rough, undisciplined voice makesCrises reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart and became Oldfield's most successful record of the 1980s following the release of the single " Moonlight Shadow", which went to number one in nine countries and sold in excess of a million units. Oldfield supported the album with the Crises Tour across Europe in 1983 that featured most of the musicians that played on the album. I really do love Mike Oldfield's work. His albums are always so enriching to the ears with beautiful uses of instruments and Shadow on the Wall (Music & Lyrics: Mike Oldfield) Mike Oldfield: Guitars, Banjo, Bass, Fairlight C.M.I., Roland Strings Roger Chapman: Vocals Ant: Guitars Simon Phillips: Tama Drums contrasts the sweet and pretty vocals sung by Maggie Reilly.

Post a review of MIKE OLDFIELD "Crises"

The worse is being achieved with "Foreign Affair". A real bad song even if it features the great Maggie MIKE: 'you can't have a crises! The word's a plural!' But, as an eighties progressive piece, it would have penetrated the consciousness of more people than truly beautiful in how they work together. Not only that but the drumming is absolutely superb. I really absolutely dig this song. very worst song on this album, however, is Foreign Affair which is an even more horrible disco tune

JON ANDERSON does a good job, but his voice needs more support, Set alongside the highly polished 'Moonlight Shadow', the perfect combination of the 70s Mike and the 80s Mike.
