Oldfield.Mike - Man On The Rocks (2014)

The 26th album from this artist from England.

Mike Oldfield does the guitars, bass, keyboards and some backing vocals here.

He has got help from numerous people who contributes with drums, bass, low whistle, violin, guitars, piano, organ, backing vocals and lead vocals.

After the previous albums, I was expecting another new-age album. I put on this album and got a shock. So much that I thought it was the wrong record and wrong artist. I checked ProgArchives and.... This is a Mike Oldfield album.

The music here is pop-rock with proper songs. That is everything Mike Oldfield has not been on previous albums.

The vocals from Luke Spiller dominates the album and Mike Oldfield's contributions are some good guitars. He has also written these songs and by then revealed some hidden talents.

The result is a pretty good album with some good and some decent songs. It is also a major surprise of an album.

I quite like this album but not all songs are good enough. Hence....

2.5 points
