Brilliant album! My dad originally purchased this album back in 1982 for himself and like most young teenagers, I kind of grew-up listening to my parents music...kind of brainwashed me, lol! Although, Mike Oldfield was famed for the Tubular Bells composition, I found his artistic talents going from strength to strength, even though some might say of his early recordings are a little dated ie. William Tell Overture, Blue Peter, In Dulci Jubilo & Portsmouth to name but a few. Five Miles Out, introduced a different style of composing with some interest irish musical instruments used on this, although his signiture guitar remains the same. Opening-up with 'Taurus II' introduced a rock side to his music and even though he continues to use moogs, sequences, and various other electronic keyboard sounds, it was re-assuring to hear talented singers like Maggie Reilly to give his music a whole new dimension - check out 'Family Man'. The single 'Five Miles Out' is certainly very creative, but must have been hell to record - a lone pilot whos plane is stranded in a violet storm causing electrical interference and the pilot relying on gut instinct, unaware of heading towards the eye of the hurricane - does he survive? Buy the album and see for yourself.Read full review
