Our Take

Mike Oldfield's "Crises" is like a time warp back to the futuristic sounds of the 80s, complete with synths galore and epic guitar solos. From the hypnotic opening track "Crises" to the haunting vocals of "Moonlight Shadow," this album is a trip down memory lane for fans of classic progressive rock.

Oldfield's signature blend of new age and rock influences shine through in tracks like "In High Places" and "Shadow on the Wall," where his mastery of multiple instruments is on full display. The production value on this album is top-notch, with each layer of sound carefully crafted to create a rich and immersive listening experience.

While some may argue that "Crises" is a bit dated by today's standards, there's no denying the influence it has had on the music industry as a whole. Oldfield's ability to seamlessly blend genres and push the boundaries of what is possible in music is truly commendable.

Overall, "Crises" is a nostalgic journey back to a simpler time in music, when experimentation and creativity were at the forefront of every artist's mind. Whether you're a die-hard Oldfield fan or new to his music, this album is definitely worth a listen for its innovative sound and timeless appeal.
