As an artist, Mike Oldfield's output is more varied than anyone I can think of. You could play 10 or more different pieces by him and they would sound like they were all from different artists. Truly a musical chamaeleon. His appearance has also changed so many times over the years.
The usual peerless writing and production from Mike Oldfield with superb vocals from Jon Anderson. Mike Oldfield's musical talent never ceases to amaze. I know critically his material in the 80's was never given the recognition it deserved, I think it has taken until now to look back and realize just how outstanding his material was during this time. A few people have commented on the video, it might look a little silly now, but I remember when this came out, hardly anyone used CGI in music videos at this time, and Mike Oldfield released this with a video which was produced, I think, in house. He was one of the very few artists who had a Quantel Video Paintbox. A cripplingly expensive and complex device at the time which was capable of these kinds of effects back then. Now, of course, this can be done on a laptop, but back in the 80's this was truly groundbreaking stuff.
Shit hot guitar solo. That Gibson had a built in Midi/Synth as far as I know. Mike use to use patches to enhance the sound. That gnarly sound on the low strings is superb. Mike is the most underrated guitar god ever. There are guitarists who people vote as 'the best' and then there is Mike Oldfield the genius.
KRAZEEIZATION He used the Roland GR-100, an old synth engine that generated a sound called Hex Fuzz, you can still find that sound on most of today's Roland V-Guitar systems.
This is probably my second favorite Mike Oldfield guitar solo (after "Magic Touch"). I remember that it was mentioned to Mike, a few years later, that Jon had said he loved everything about the song, except the "silly lyrics". This struck Mike as particularly odd, since Jon wrote the lyrics. ^_^
Such a ridiculously happy song, yes the lyrics are silly but all the same it is very catchy and it is so well performed particularly the guitar solo, it just makes me happy to hear it! Cracking!
oh man, I couldn't agree with you more, really makes you...just silly cheerful and jolly jolly happy happy modeish :P. Video clip itself is RIDICOLOUS, Jon and Mike in their 80's outfits and hair styles... gross :P
Mike complained that his records were not well marketed, so I suppose that's why I only heard about this song in 2013. And I was such a big fan of his, always scouring the record shops for new releases. You'd think that a single by two big stars like this would have got more publicity.
@@ambarcraft4476 Same here! I'm a massive fan of both Mike Oldfield and Jon Anderson, have been for donkey's years - yet I've only just discovered this! Thank goodness for UA-cam, eh! :-)
Mój Boże jak to mi się podoba aż po dzień dzisiejszy. Jeszcze mam VHS z Anitą Hegerland. Mike OLDFIELD najukochańszy. John ANDERSON pamiętam współpracował z VANGELISEM ......
Everyone on the planet has heard either Mike or Jon in some form or other, so much fantastic positive vibes from both artists. Special mention for Songs Of Distant Earth, amazing album.
A compact artistic musical demonstration of both Mike's and Jon's talents. Massively underrated at the time of release. The chess section of the video and Mike's guitar solo are wonderful.
In order to hear Jon Andersons voice there has to be SOME lyrics! So, silly or not, it is a very nice piece of music. Once MO even made a song with senseless syllables only to avoid "silly" lyrics.
Not the greatest music video IMO (you can tell it's from the Eighties!) but great song, especially the guitar solo :D Brings together one of my favourite vocalists and favourite musicians.
Somente alguém que não conhece as obras destes 2 dinossauros, pode dizer bem desta música. Por favor envelheçam bem sem estragar o património que ambos construíram.

Two talented men made song together❤❤❤ great song ❤ Jon - amazing and clear voice and Mike - guitar wizard❤❤❤
I love this song in billions of ways I think it is very underated
Oh Man! That solo!
Only a Genius can play so !!
Masterpiece!!!
Thanks mike
amazing
I just love how well the pitch of Jons voice and Mikes guitar matches. Wish they had made more tracks together. But grateful for those we got.
Fiatal korom egyik nagy kedvence volt !
Vagyunk ezzel még egy páran :)

Jon Anderson is unique in how he expresses joy and happiness in his voice. Truly an extraordinary talent

You're right, but in the same time there's always an "oldfieldian touch" that identifies Mike without explaining why!
I agree 👍🏽
@user-gv5hu5pyes si , tiene su melodía propia que lo identificaqj2u
2:00 - Probably one of the best (and most underrated) Olfield's fast guitar solo
amazing solo
De acuerdo 100x100
Desde luego , es genial@@pedroalmeida9596

I couldn't agree with you more. The fact that he is not even on any of these list is just a travesty against good taste.
I have heard Mike 'play' many instruments using the strings of a guitar. What he can make that instrument do is truly amazing.
Mike can turn is hand to most music realms: rock, pop, classical, Spanish, country, Bluegrass - Bagpipes!
KRAZEEIZATION He used the Roland GR-100, an old synth engine that generated a sound called Hex Fuzz, you can still find that sound on most of today's Roland V-Guitar systems.
You are very pretty

DallasHammster today I was trying to transcribe the guitar solo and I have to say that it is by far the hardest Mike Oldfield solo to play. Cheers!
I love Mike's self-deprecating and dry sense of humour. Such a nice bloke.
"Man in the Rain" is his best guitar solo.
Such a ridiculously happy song, yes the lyrics are silly but all the same it is very catchy and it is so well performed particularly the guitar solo, it just makes me happy to hear it! Cracking!

Robert Stewart I think this song is ace
I'm a huge Mike fan and I've never heard this before. Don't even know what year it's from.
And I never knew it until today lol

Came out in 1986 . No album to go with it. Today the Song is quite rare as it is not available anymore. Not even on Spotify.
Jon, the best vocal ever.
La voix de Yes et le talent de Mike Oldfield , c'est génial ...!!
Oui, c'est vrai! ...and that's pretty much where my French ends ;-))
Kocham kocham kocham i płaczę jednocześnie .To były cudowne czasy 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪💓💓💓💓💓💓💓👍👍👍👍👍
El video es un horror, pero es taaaan entrañable. La canción es una maravilla única
Typical los años 80
junto a Anderson y tanto tiempo pasado, y vuelta a escucharlos en 2019... eternos.
Mój Boże jak to mi się podoba aż po dzień dzisiejszy. Jeszcze mam VHS z Anitą Hegerland. Mike OLDFIELD najukochańszy. John ANDERSON pamiętam współpracował z VANGELISEM ......
Si , también hizo trabajos con vangelis anderson
Super guitar solo!! 1:59
Magic Patagonia I agree with you. So good guitar GOD
Why is this Song not to find on Spotify? Also only " Islands" isn't there, too
Ein fantastischer Song 👍🎶🙂
Jon Anderson colaborando con mis dos grandes.... Vangelis y Mike Oldfield.
Great guitar solo!!slow and fast at a time,chords and lots of notes in a simple pattern! very hard to do it exactly!!
MIKE OLDFIELD FOREVER SHINES
I loooooooved this song when i was a teenager
greatest guitar solo ever!!!!
A totally under-rated song
It would have been a hit if it was by other more mainstream artists.
Fortunately is rated correctely... This music is sheet... of course, compared with strastoferic music made for both many years ago...
Well, this is not his best song as well but to see how his Gibson ‘is going for a ride’ with Mike at 2:00 is pure gold.
Why why why isn't this song on any album😢 I hope it will happen one day, my soul needs it❤❤❤
Está muy bien
Watching this in 2022 I feel very amused cause of those special effects, but I like this!
Essa dupla Deveria ter feito mais coisas juntos.
Everyone on the planet has heard either Mike or Jon in some form or other, so much fantastic positive vibes from both artists. Special mention for Songs Of Distant Earth, amazing album.
silly clip, amazing voice and crazy guitar solo!
Cutting-edge technology in that clip at that time, though! ;-) Along with 'Money For Nothing' and some others :-)
Nail on head.
That solo alone ..GOD. By far the best.
Mike looks like David Mcallum in this :)
Lol!
A compact artistic musical demonstration of both Mike's and Jon's talents. Massively underrated at the time of release. The chess section of the video and Mike's guitar solo are wonderful.
Jon seems to me like Mike older brother cos there's a resemblance on their faces..my opinion..
Jon wygląda jak kosmita :-) (skąd on się urwał???), ale wokalnie WYMIAAAAAATAAAAAAAAAA! Nikt nie ma takiego głosu. Jak on to robi?
Perfect guitar solo.

a 38 desentendidos no les gusta esto :/
Yes + Mike Oldfield = *Shine*
We've got a Quantell and we're gonna use it!
john anderson es un fuera de serie
why this song is not in spotify?? It's so good
Man, this is CUTE
In order to hear Jon Andersons voice there has to be SOME lyrics! So, silly or not, it is a very nice piece of music. Once MO even made a song with senseless syllables only to avoid "silly" lyrics.
Está , junto con crimen of pasión y mistake , de las mejores canciones de Mike oldfield
Superb and catchy song, one of mike's best songs, despite those awful Infographics...
I like so much in extended version..thank you for share this video song...
I like how he nearly breaks into Moonlight Shadow around 2:31
Cheese my Life.
soundcloud.com/reminfic/mike-oldfield-shine-cover-old
Haha, this song brings back memories from when I was 3. I love how the video constantly shows off the amazing special effects that came out then xD
Step away from the Quantel, Mike
2 angels^^
I am made in heaven...............adam...a.s
A great combination
This looks like people were too excited about the new computer stuff in the 80's to notice that it's absolute rubbish.
The video montage, sure, not our Jon, 'per cortesia:
Not the greatest music video IMO (you can tell it's from the Eighties!) but great song, especially the guitar solo :D Brings together one of my favourite vocalists and favourite musicians.
Very sci-fi in sound
Esta preciosa canción no aparece ni en Spotify
nice song, about the video clip ..... mmmmmm
I thought Mike was with Virgin records until 1992?
1991, he finished contract with "heaven's open"
in my opinion... mikes best guitar-solo.
It's good, but Man in the Rain is better.
My favourite song 1986............adam.....a.s
I unironically love this music video
So bad it's good
Cheese my life
Good guitar solo, but a weak sound.
This awesome is very sci-fi in sound.
You can see the studio where Mike mixed this here: ua-cam.com/video/3967LEgTltw/v-deo.html
Terrible song, good guitar.
Probably Mike's best guitar solo
God... if Anderson would worked more with Oldfield than with Vangelis... how a lot more fun we'd had.
Cheese my life 🗣🗣
Exellent tube de Mike Oldfield
ace song

Amazing duo....
Siempre se reúnen y cantan los grandes!!!!!
