1 stars Two songs taken from Mike Oldfield's 1989 release EARTH MOVING. That album is without a doubt, in my mind at least, his weakest, most commercial, and least Prog work. But, it was the 80's... "Innocent" is bland, AOR pop/rock featuring Norweigian Anita Hegerland, who, I believe, was his girlfriend at the time. Nothing to write home about, I do understand why it was chosen as a single. Catchy but forgettable. "Earth Moving(disco version)"...you can pretty much see where this song is heading with that title.

So, two tunes from a less than stellar album. If you need everything Mike has released, than go for it and try to complete that collection. Otherwise put SONGS OF DISTANT EARTH or INCANTATIONS on and forget this one.
