CRISES is one of my favourite Mike Oldfield albums.
I wondered how an ultimate rerelease of that album would look like.

Which bonus tracks should be on it?
Should we include lyrics, liner notes and some nice photographs?

TRACKLIST

Crises
Moonlight Shadow
In High Places
Foreign Affair
Taurus 3
Shadow on the Wall

Moonlight Shadow (extended)
Rite of Man
Shadow on the Wall (extended)
Jungle Gardenia
Crime of Passion (extended?)

The German 12" of Crime of Passion clocks at 4.08.
It's the only single on the Platinum Collection that wasn't
included in its longer 12" version. I wondered if the UK 12"
had the 3.38 or the longer 4.08 version of the song?

Dear Mike,

please please tell us you still have the masters for this one and that it will get remixed. You can skip the songs. But please remix the suite. And release a single edit from the "watcher and the tower" bit.

Thank you for your attention,

a Crises fan

Please please please (with a cherry on top) can we for once have the 5.1 audio track encoded as DTS 96Khz/24bit; and NOT lossy Dolby Digital! :/

It makes such a phenomenal difference to the audio quality and personally I consider it is a crime to see Mike's outstanding musical compositions compressed to hell with Dolby Digital 5.1.

FMO and Crises are without a doubt two of Mike's best compositions; please don't screw it up by using an abhorrent lossy matrix like Dolby Digital!  ;)

2CD+DVD for Five Miles Out
And 5 disc box set including Disc 5 (DVD) for Crises.

Doesn't look good so far for those of us hoping for a lossless 5.1 mix. No Blu-ray version, not saying 2CD+DVD-A.

Come on Bowers & Wilkins, let's get going on the other titles please. Universal have done some CD+Blu-ray releases already, why not do one for these upcoming titles?

An odd bonustrack list with Mistake on it,
although (Waldberg) The Peak is on the Five Miles Out box.
And I can't spot Rite of Man between the Crises bonustracks.

Hope the tracklists are incomplete for the moment.

@equinoxe: Why 4 live shows ?

According to the tracklist FMO deluxe features a German concert from late October / early November 1982. Unfortunately Ommadawn, Platinum 1+2 and Conflict are missing.

It seems there's no unreleased studio track. The only surprise could be the 2nd FMO version (track 7 on disc 1). But I guess it's the 7" version (German 7" & The Complete).
... wait and see

Crises box set appears quite strange for me. Mistake seems to be in the wrong place as it belongs to FMO.
My guess:
Disc 1: 1-6 original mix / 7-8 extended versions /12-13 alternative versions of MS and SOTW or 2013 remixes
Discs 2&3 Wembley 83 audio
Disc 4 : 1-3(4) Wembley 83 Video / (4)5-6 Promo Videos
Disc 5 : 5.1 Mix

Didn't know the 4th disc of Crises Box Set wil be a live video show. However we are getting one live show on FMO and three live shows (every disc has a different tracklist) on Crises.

Also think, the Mistake track should be on FMO as this track came from the FMO era. Crises tracklist is not clear to me, so can't realize what this exactly will be.

The Amazon UK page is now showing an extra image of the Crises box. It looks like a hardback book in a slipcase and the discs (all CDs or DVDs numbered Crises 1, Crises 2 etc.) are in their own separate card cases.

The live content looks like the 10th anniversary WEMBLEY gig.
I really hope so, and hope that its remixed from the multi tracks.I saw that show and it was great.
As for the video footage from that gig....well. that is something i have dreamt about for so long, since the day of the gig, when they said that filmed it for Channel 4 showing a week later.
Then it was pulled, cos of technical problems with the filming.So 3 long tracks from it would be soooooo amazing.
Looks like a good package, even though its so over priced.

Any idea what the book will be? It looks pretty thick so perhaps photos from tours?

I hope, there will be a DVD or even a BluRay (dreams! :) ) disc with the Wembley Concert video hidden inside the book. :)

We should be able to tell you exactly what the contents of the box are verrrrry soon. I think I can probably go so far as to say that the details available online so far aren't 100% correct, though...
