It must have been amazing to hear this when it first came out in May 1983. Actually, we did have a copy in our house during 1983 but I wasn't really old enough to appreciate it then.
Intercontinental and cross-continental changes of residence led to me part (very reluctantly) with a large vinyl collection. More than anything I miss my 70's and 80's Olfield albums.
Inspired to track them down again I must say thanks for posting this. Gives me goosebumps.
i was too young when i first listened to this... now tears come to my ayes when i heard this beautiful music. too good to have words to explain. thanks for this!
@nausitran no te preocupes todos somos jovenes para la musica,pues demos gracias a esos musicos o mejor dicho "genios" que llevan haciendo musica tantos siglos,es imposible quedarse solo con un genero,perdona que me atreba a recomendarte PINK FLOY-ECHOES
Today I have problems to get all of his great cd's! But I try it!
What i want to is that Mike's music is so great that he can't make more of it, because there will be million of people who will never hear his music, that makes me sad...
Me gusta M.O pero cuando eskio con esta musica en mis oidos, tengo maxixma satisfacion,relax total.

Most of Mike's music is ahead of it's time and incomprehensible to most people.

Noooooo!! It cut off just as you're getting to the really good bit - the drumming at the end of the track.
Pleeaaaasseeeee!!!
BTW anybody know the name of the track on Crises (I think) with the guitars - no lyric.
