Crises (Deluxe Version)

The remastered album is augmented with non-LP singles “Mistake” and “Crime of Passion” (along with its B-side “Jungle Gardenia”) and 12″ mixes and new “unplugged” mixes of singles “Moonlight Shadow” and “Shadow on the Wall.” Following a long-established production pattern, Mike Oldfield assembled some relatively simple pop-rock-flavored numbers following one long introductory piece on his 1983 release, Crisis. The 20-minute opening title-track is a quintessential Oldfield texture study that consists of sparkling synth washes with edgier material weaving in and out.
