Oldfield diehard fans who dislike the poppier discs are taking the easy road of criticism. If you take Earth Moving for what it is and not what it should be , its a great album, the title track has one of the finest female vocals ever recorded. Gives me shivers every time.


That's how I feel about Shadow on the Wall, another reason I quite enjoy Crises. And Jon Anderson is on it. Smile

Discovery and Crisis both have better songs though. To France is wonderful.

Crisis has the hypnotic "Foreign Affair" , a true Oldfield classic that remains timeless and utterly mindblowing. 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Only 1 vote for Crises. Surprenant.

I went for Platinum - nice little suite.
 
Think the first four on here are very strong - though not as strong as his first four albums - which are all 5* for me.
