This review is from: Five Miles Out (Audio CD)
First, for the most-detailed review of this CD, see the earlier one by a reviewer named Adrian, who pretty much nails the concept, themes, and motifs. That said, I would add that I've thoroughly enjoyed Five Miles Out because Mr. Oldfield has brought some talented folks into the studio to augment his own talents. As a result, the sound is richer and fuller than his one-man-band efforts from the earlier stages of his career. Maggie Reilly, who has graced many recording by Mike Oldfield as well as Jack Bruce, really shines with her soaring vocals. The trio of Morris Pert, Tim Cross, and Rick Fenn---who anchor Oldfield's recordings throughout the '80s---create a solid, seamless backdrop that keeps Mr. Oldfield tethered to the music. Two long tracks, Taurus II and Orabidoo, consume most of the CD, but the title track Five Miles Out, a haunting tale of a doomed aviator, and the radio friendly Family Man, may be the two that embed themselves deepest into your auditory memory tracks. If you have not really listened to Mike Oldfield's vast body of work, or perhaps too quickly banished him on the basis of his earlier efforts, than either this CD or Crisis are recommended access points.
