Best of MikeOldfield: goo.gl/5FqCWf Subscribe here: goo.gl/xRrbjs Music video by Mike Oldfield performing Crime Of Passion. (C) 1984 Mercury Records Limited
I am 72. This song is without doubt one of the outstanding pieces of modern music ever written, produced and performed considering the restrictions in technology prevalent to the 1980's. It is hypnotic in it's repetition and beautifully backed with an understated rhythm. The extended version with I think 3 guitar riffs repeated stuns the senses. This guy was and is a giant of contemporary music which considering his catastrophic upbringing and early years supporting an alcoholic mother without most of the social skills enjoyed by most of us is a triumph of his spirit and humble humanity. Although no angel, he was undoubtedly gifted by a higher power to produce such spine tingling songs.
Mike Oldfields music is so unique. No other artist ever made music like his style. That mesmerising guitar is everything. Loved him since my childhood.
this guy has always had a phenomenal sense of unpredictable melody, and of beautiful idiosyncratic, unusual sound - including voices. the voices have always been unique, and extremely expressive, this one included.
The Medieval feeling of these harmonies is something that never, ever gets old. Moody, very English music with bright contrasts between light and shade.
Just found this song, but Im sure I must've heard it long ago, maybe as a child, as some fragments really reminding me of old times, amazing situation, like I could jump again in times when I was 7 and life was so simple ❤
