Crises is Oldfield’s eighth studio album. Released in 1983, it arrived in my CD collection in the 90s and was probably about the 5th CD I ever bought.
Three things struck me about Crises.
- It features a song with Jon Anderson (Yes)
- The title track Crises features a great deal of Oldfield tropes; his distinguishable guitar sound, lyrical references to Virgin and musical themes that would reappear in later albums.
- It has the hit single Moonlight Shadow
For me, this album was the start of my theory that the music I like is all interconnected somehow. Something I’m still yet to prove.
