CRISES

Crises managed to stem the flow between commercial and "progressive". Here was overall a very good production of both instrumental and short pop type songs. He collaborated with the likes of Jon Anderson and Maggie Riley. Taurus 3 has some great guitar work too . I scratch my head in amazement that some reviwers find this album garbage when it ideally struck the best balance of Oldfield's albums in terms of good quality short compositions and one long track, ' Crises'. " In High Places" with Jon Anderson on vocal is IMHO one of Oldfield's best short song/collaboration work.
