MIKE OLDFIELD ....CDS. 1d2o5m

Part One-Part Two- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Definitely in my Top 5 Oldfield albums, and certainly in my all time top 15. This was released in 1982. It was preceded by Q.E.2 (home of Taurus 1) and followed by Crises (home of Taurus 3). I buying the vinyl lp in 1982 and have always loved it. ----------------------------------------------------------

First off the bat my review is for the 2013 Deluxe Edition. Now I'm guessing most listeners coming to this release will already be familiar with Mike Oldfield's Five Miles Out so is this remaster worth the spend out? Well actually yes. By the time Oldfield came to record Five Miles Out recording techniques and studio gear had improved a great deal since he started his career. It is from this point onwards in the Oldfield cannon that I always thought the remastering process wouldn't offer very much over the original releases. Well I was wrong, this release sounds absolutely tremendous. There is such definition and clarity and the bass is so round and warm. It sounds great loud too, those crunchy distorted power chords sound like they're gonna come straight out of the speakers. Musically, Five Miles Out is a real highlight in Oldfield's career. There are so many twists and turns and so many beautifully interwoven layers. Oldfield was riding the crest of a very creative wave, there is so much energy on offer here. Many of the ages are actually quite heavy in a heavy rock sense but the number of styles presented is baffling. Five Miles Out is a unique album and the title track is perhaps one of the most unique, idiosyncratic pieces of music I've ever heard, it's just so strange yet familiar! --------------------------------------

Five Miles Out is the seventh record album by Mike Oldfield, released in 1982, at a time when his music was moving away from large-scale symphonic pieces towards a more accessible pop style. This 2013 reissue sees the original album remastered and made available on CD. -----------------------------------------------------------

Letra de la canción Family man, de Mike Oldfield, en inglés (english lyrics)- She had a sulky smile She took a standard pose as she presented herself She had sultry eyes She made it perfectly plain that she was his for a price But he said, leave me alone, I'm a family man And my bark is much worse than my bite" He said, "Leave me alone, I'm a family man If you push me too far, I just might"She wore hurt surprise As she re-checked her make-up to protect herself She showed less than pride She made it totally clear that she was his for a price But he said, "Leave me alone, I'm a family man And my bark is much worse than my bite" "Please just leave me alone, I'm a family man If you push me too far, I just might"She gave him her look That would have worked on any other man in sight He could not mistake She wanted to go back with him and spend his night But he said, "Leave me alone, I'm a family man And my bark is much worse than my bite" "Please just leave me alone, I'm a family man If you push me too far, I just might"She turned, tossed her head and then She started to make her final exit line She showed real disdain As if explaining again she could be his For a price But he said, "Leave me alone, I'm a family man And my bark is much worse than my bite!" He said, "Leave me alone, I'm a family man If you push me too far, I just might" (bis x3) Mike Oldfield ft.
