Mike Oldfield l'ho scoperto nel 1983 e da allora è sempre stato il mio musicista preferito. Mike è un genio assoluto e la sua musica mi ha tenuto compagnia per tutta la vita, è una parte di me (una delle migliori). Grazie di tutto, Mike...
Hola a todos, creo que NO me equivoco cuando digo que éste es uno de los MEJORES 👏👏👏 álbumes del GRAN maestro MIKE OLDFIELD, desde ésta MAGNÍFICA INSTRUMENTAL, hasta la canciones cantadas, es un álbum perfecto, FANTÁSTICO, APOTEÓSICO, con fuerza, con dulzura, todo directo al CORAZÓN 💖🎶🎸🎼🎹🎶🎤, GRACIAS por compartir éste DISCAZO 👏👏👏 y un CORDIAL SALUDO desde MADRID 🍻🙋 a todos los AMANTES de la BUENA MÚSICA, porque esto SI que es BUENA MÚSICA 💖🎧🎶.
Recuerdo cuando salió este album de Crises, solía escuchárselo a mi vecino y me encantaba. Ahora y después de 40 años sigo escuchándolo como el primer día, es más, lo disfruto más porque me trae unos recuerdos indescriptibles, es uno de los discos que más me gusta y sin duda Mike es uno de mis músicos favoritos. Gracias Mike por toda tu obra!!
Fantastico ,questo pezzo ti porta in dimensioni ultraterrene.....gli ultimi 10 min poi sono superbi,un capolavoro.....è come se facessi una cavalcata su una spiaggia della Provenza al tramonto,il cavallo procede lentamente, poi decido che è ora di galoppare ,di andare , di sentire il vento fra i capelli, l'odore salmastro degli schizzi d'acqua sul fianco del cavallo,sento il fremito del corpo dell'animale che vibra all'unisono con il mio cuore....x poi arrivare al climax finale (e che climax!!!)....grazie Mike x tutto questo!!!
@@paoloziviani4137 grazie Paolo.....sono consapevole che il mio commento può risultare un pò "ambiguo/allusivo " (soprattutto alla fine...)ma così è x me....mi fa piacere però che qualcuno apprezzi e soprattutto capisca quello che intendo esprimere a proposito di questa meraviglia musicale....se fosse musicoterapia la inserirei nel gruppo "stimolanti " (x lei e x lui😅) .....grazie ancora e buona serata 🙏👋
Same with me... got intrigued by MO when Platinum came out. Then i discovered his "lenghty" stuff as student in Kaiserslautern. I am a big fan ever since😂❤
Musica vera. Uno dei migliori lavori dell'immenso Mike, l'album che mi permise di scoprirlo a 17 anni. Mai più lasciato, una droga, vera soddisfazione per orecchie e cervello
12:56 Thats the way, synthesizers and drumcomputers should be used. 16:58 LET IT ROLL!! The first time i heared Mike Oldfield i was 15 years old. His album Tubular Bells was such fascinating. Now i am over 60, but the fascination of this music has never stopped. For me, Mike Oldfield is the Mozart of our century.
For me the magic starts at 10:01. The key change at 19:47 also gets me for some reason. In '83 I was on a school residential field trip and we had a massive electrical storm one night. I remember listening to Crises - on tape with earphones - with the dorm window wide open, watching the lightning fork and feeling, rather than hearing, the thunder because I had the volume cranked up. How could that possibly be 37 years ago!!
Oldfield is one of those musicians you can't pass by. He's a man of different colours and moods, but always a man of taste. A great player and a great composer. I especially like the different guitar sounds on this album.
This is brilliant and timeless 💜💜💜💜. My dream is seeing Mike Oldfield live. If he does that I will be there no matter the place no matter the costs. I payed 200 e some time ago to see Genesis. Music 💜. Mike is only 67...many artists of that age and even older still tour. But it is not about the age I suppose but other things.
each time I listen to this album, I remember when I was 20, a year after the release of Crises, I had a girl, a special one...she was my girl, but in fact she wasn't, she was married to one of my friends. I was totaly in love with her, and I think she was in love with me too, at least a little. And if you listen, at 10 minutes, you'll hear me pleading, you'll hear her teasing and finally us crying in each other's arms while making love. Shorts but extraodinary stolen moments, moments I'll never forget. Almost 40 years after, the memory is still vivid, her face, her smile, her eyes, and her body too. The way she looked at me, the way a girl could be in 1983, jeans, leather and running shoes, so smart, so cool, so beautiful...great times!
Amazing. I have always loved Mike Oldfield (mainly thanks to Maggie) but as I discovered THIS, I think I like him even more. I’ve never known his music tracks were so good.
Maybe ur right..Ommadawn is great, it could be my number1 too. It's a question of personal taste. As for his Return to Ommadawn, let's pretend it never happened...😊
i Remember this Album and the artist I know every song. but I don't know why nor do I remember when. l feel emotions of despair, grief, loss and very sad, So it must have been available during a really horrible situation when circumstances weren't in my favour. I cant' recall. I remember loving this album greatly. I'm thinking it must have been my comfort through a difficult time. I'm thrilled I can now listen to a forgotten memory. Accidents from the past can steal a memory unless research provides accidental clues. I feel great comfort listening to this album. Thank you so very much for this. I could cry I'm so happy and shivers up my spine.
I too remember this album when it first came out and at that time my life was difficult and I was lost. At that time the music gave me solace from my crisis . .
This came out in 1983. At the time, the music scene was pretty dark and in the doldrums in the aftermath of the disco revolution. Music like this stood out against all the gloom. I felt lonely and abandoned at the time and this music just accentuated that feeling for me, even though I knew it was superb music.
Yes they do because being ignorant sheeple they take what is force fed to them without questioning or searching. In music and in each and every part/sector/facet of life. As I always say "mangiate merda! 5 miliardi di mosche non possono avere tutte torto allo stesso momento" (eat feces! 5 billions flies can't be all wrong at the same time)
Without moving away from his deepest essence, as he did later when he experimented with techno, he was able to create atmospheres that could well come from other worlds, or maybe from the future, or maybe from another place that doesn't exist yet. Dive into it carefully because you may not want to return to this world.
Valamikor réges rég..Azt hittem hogy Oldfield és kortársaik szintetitzátor zenészek ezt mind szintetizátoron csinálják. Engem ez nem érdekelt ,de sokan azt mondták ez mű zene.. de tudjuk hogy ehhez nagyon komoly klasszikus zenei tudás és rutin kellet..
The themes explored seem so prophetic in England 2021. "And you can't get away" Glorious album....never dates, timeless, like if Handel had composed a progressive synth/rock piece.
My first real introduction to Mike Oldfield. A flatmate at university had the album and played it (he had the best stereo, a huge boom-box thing) and my first reaction was bemusement. Who sounds like this??!! No music sounds like this. But that was the start of a lifetime of being mad for prog of all kinds, but especially Mike's epic instrumentals. To this day, no-one else sounds like him.
@@selenerakel Yes it is ! With a very "spatial" feeling ! This part refers to the painting of the album's booklet. The next part (that sounds a bit like an intro of "To France" melody, is quite beautiful too), in fact I love all the parts except the rock part in the beginning with vocals"Crises, crises you can't get away...". But all the rest is superb.
Yes Mike is always respectful of the talent of others and happy to let them do their thing. As long as it fits the composition, which Mike ensures it does.
To a certain degree, this is a forgotten MO album. Not by me though. It got me through my late teens. I used to sing it full pelt whilst walking the dogs in the woods! LOL!
Es muy bueno este album a veces hay que dejar que pase un tiempo para volver a escuchar lo que te gusta y asi nunca te vas a dejar de sentir esa emoción como la primera vez en lo personal es mi criterio
Curious fact: I read and read and read Crisis on Infinite Earths listening to this and Tubolar Bells in a loop, when it came out (1985-86). I had a glorious youth, I experienced the works of artists with the talents of gods
Hey Johnny Shook from Skokie Illinois are you out there? We talked about Oldfield in 1984 and how we at 25 had seen so much change. And how we perceived the world around us. Now here we are in the crises that is not personal but throughout the whole world my childhood friend. I pray you are alright. Remember I called you several years earlier...or you called me and I said I am reading the gospel of John....and you said so am I. My long lost childhood friend we are in THEE crisis. I hope you are saved and that your love, out shared love or music and our similar tastes gets you to read this. From ST. Joan of Arc grade school through all of the crazy stuff to where we are now. Hope to see you in the rapture beyond the crisis. Through the ether your friend of old Richard Briggs.
E kitűnő zeneszám második fele, valami egészen éteri, különleges, egzotikus, extázist kifejező, fölzaklatóan, nyugtalanítóan szépséges darab.
Après tant et tant d'années, je ne me lasse pas d'entendre sa musique !!! Mike, tu es un génie de la musique, je t'aime

Music from another dimension.
Mike Oldfield is a great composer, musician and Crisis one of the most emblematic albums in the 20th century. Pure magic!!
And Simon Phillips is The Drummer...

I was 13 years old when i heard mike oldfield for first time. It was a love forever...now i m 55 years....i love his music :)

Enrico Pasquinelli hai perfettamente ragione genio nn vado oltre...... sicuramente hai anche ascoltato amarok
Verissimo, condivido in toto! Mike number one!
Obra maestra. El tiempo no pasa por ella, una belleza.
Competamente de acuerdo
Music from a time in history where originality, musicality and brilliance still existed in pop music.
Parole sante...
Album x me storico.. Pietra fondante..
It is still masterpiece today..

This Song will say: Listen me from begin to the end and you know all about Mike Oldfield!!!
I'm 57 and feel the exact way, just a marvel at making me feel a teenager again every time I listen :)

One of my favorites musicians, this is my favorite Mike's album
@@rubenjorge13 También el mío... Aunque el Tubular Bells original o el Ommadown también son la hostia...
Can't understand why he has not been knighted for his services to Music. Sir Michael Oldfield! 🙂
Bridie Maloney so true! But it could happen soon.. Think so..
superfluppe he is God ♥️
Mike, Simon and a Fairlight CMI III. A wonderful combination.
GREAT!!! MIKE!!! I LOVE IT!!
when I was teenager, when this LP was released I hear it hundred times is a MASTERPIECE
Album spettacolare
ganz sehr schön auch foreign affairs,, alle lieder get to france marry quinn will be find you ,,dark i feel ,,tubullar bells spannende lied
I listen this song from September 1983. Sill Amazing.
Si tuviera que poner una banda sonora de mi vida, este disco estaría.
One of the most mysterious and beautiful album covers ever made.
The legendary drummer Simon Phillips, was only 26, when he played on this track!!
Forty years, now. Still fresh!😊
This is brilliant and timeless 💜💜💜💜. My dream is seeing Mike Oldfield live. If he does that I will be there no matter the place no matter the costs. I payed 200 e some time ago to see Genesis.

Do you still keep in touch with her?
Amazing. I have always loved Mike Oldfield (mainly thanks to Maggie) but as I discovered THIS, I think I like him even more. I’ve never known his music tracks were so good.
I like the way Mike changed his style between Five Miles Out and Crises, from folk-influenced tunes to futuristic/synth music.
I always love how Mike exploited so many instruments, more than any other composer I can think of. He was the king of Timbre.
@@Coneman3 Vangelis comes very close with the Yamaha CS80.
A Gem forever engraved in my heart 💎💜
Esta fue mi primer álbum y aún . me gusta escuchar lo por completo
A chacun de poser son histoire pour le bien commun !!
So many memories with this song...
I think this is the BEST Mike Oldfield's album ...
Nah, Ommadawn. But close second❤😂
Maybe ur right..Ommadawn is great, it could be my number1 too.
It's a question of personal taste. As for his Return to Ommadawn, let's pretend it never happened...😊

Simply indescribable. An absolute milestone in music history. Attacks me emotionally real even after tens of years!
Fully agree :-) This masterpiece lifts me up into a new dimension whenever I'm down.
Have a nice day :-)

Where have you founded the name of the different parts ?
I’ve been an Oldfield fan since Tubular Bells (the original) and I never herd this music before. Thanks!
I so remember the day I bought this album on Cassette tape and played in my Kombi’s pioneer tape deck- I bopped till I dropped all the way home!!
12: 55 onwards * chef's kiss * 👌
Ya no se hace música de esta calidad!
12:58 onwards is pure Oldfield and Philipps magic.
this music is so epic, makes me wonder: really the people listen raeggeton when they have this
This is magic, purifies the soul

Epic is the right word. And I love that ! Just listen to " Five miles out". Epic, also!
I ve been listening to progressive rock and psychedelia for more than 20 years
Great song
15 years old , Metallica- kill 'em all came out and this album from Mike Oldfield , knocked me both of my feet
This Song will Say: Listen me from begin to the end and you will know all about Mike Oldfield!!!
Still knocks me out this one

this song is LEGEND ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Ho avuto come regalo di compleanno questo disco. Lato 1 con canzoni un po' più pop....lato 2 con questa suite che mi ha sempre intrigato.....
the best album in my opinion
La fusión de Simon Phillips y Mike Oldfield fue tan importante como la fusión del atomo, impresionantes discos!!
Without moving away from his deepest essence, as he did later when he experimented with techno, he was able to create atmospheres that could well come from other worlds, or maybe from the future, or maybe from another place that doesn't exist yet.

Rather poignant right now... masterpiece

There's a breach in security
A disturbance in tranquility
Take a walk until the next dawn
In the winter, rain and storms

Is beautiful
10:03 the sound of the moon
excellent !!!
Simon Phillips drumming and c-production/engineering (his first) really gave this album a great big sound.
Being a Mike Oldfield's gret fan, I consider this to be his last great work

The peoples knows only Tubolar Bells and Platinum. This the first album i've heard of Mike. And it's a Masterpiece.
Curious fact: I read and read and read Crisis on Infinite Earths listening to this and Tubolar Bells in a loop, when it came out (1985-86).
I had a glorious youth, I experienced the works of artists with the talents of gods
