Only translation software version but you get the jist :-
In EMI edition will arrive in Spain on March 4 " Man On The Rocks" , the first album by Mike Oldfield with new material since 2008. To record it has had the help of musicians like bassist Leland Sklar ( Phil Collins, Crosby, Stills & Nash, James Taylor) and drummer John Robinson (Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton , Daft Punk) . " Man On The Rocks" will be available on standard CD , double CD " Deluxe" with the instrumental versions of the tracks on the album ; triple CD " SuperDeluxe " with the added eleven demos and alternate mixes of four songs , four boards and two portraits Mike Oldfield , vinyl and download .
" The logical thing would have been to make another album style ' Tubular Bells' to try to place their best, but I'm not well and the new album , 'Man On The Rocks' , is fully alive , represents a return to basic rock" says Oldfield.
Mike Oldfield himself presents each of the songs, " Man On The Rocks" :
' Sailing'
"When you're at sea,you invade that wonderful feeling of freedom ! Had the pace to a rocker theme and lyrics, ' sailing ' to the choir and I thought , no, I can not only use the word ' sailing ' to the chorus. There can not be another ' Sailing' and that's the Rod Stewart. But then I thought , why not ? And I dove for it. "
' Moonshine '
"I had ideas and loose parts for years as the theme ' Moonshine ' , working it took 25 years . It was originally going to be called 'Whiskey In the Wind ' . It was a true story : we were in a band on the way to the west coast of Ireland in Galway Bay and we had a bottle of whiskey, and it was really cold . "
'Man on the Rocks '
" Almost accidentally ended up becoming addictions topic , which can be anything from drugs to alcohol, or certain situations or even addiction to failure. The biggest problem was the issue to find out who sings it , the addicted person or anyone else looking at the addicted person . So hit me , who is really celebrating is the addiction itself . "
' Castaway '
"I was remembering my fear of abandonment as a child . Now I am psychologically at peace after years of psychotherapy. But I remember it used to be and childhood trauma are still inside me , although I am able to watch them directly and can not control my life. Children need security , so I devoted my music to my wonderful children and all children . "
'Minutes'
" One issue that comes to leaving situations in the past and how it feels to miss someone. It has a small instrumental hook, tried to catch the sound issues were in the 60s, Buddy Holly , early The Shadows , Adam Faith and Joe Meek , subjects listened to my sister in her Dansette . "
' Dreaming in the wind'
"It's about life after death , death itself. On a visit to a group of islands near here, the Exumas , virtually uninhabited . It's like a different planet , crystal clear water , virtually no ... there are times that the music speaks for itself . "
' Nuclear'
" My grandfather, Michael Liston, died when I was very small. Was Irish and was dragged to the British army in the First World War . One of the most powerful experiences I was alive when I visited Ypres and Passchandaele and saw many men of his regiment , Munster Fusiliers, were buried . I am very connected to the residual atmosphere and there you can still feel the desolation. It is a song about frustration , anger , despair . I wanted a powerful word and the word ' nuclear ' popped into my head. "
' Chariots '
" ' Chariots ' is similar to 'Shadow On The Wal ' " , a cry of desperation for any person or any group or culture feel oppressed. Sometimes you have to fight to conquer or overcome an obstacle or a situation in which nothing will change unless you get up and back against it . It is one of my favorite subjects. "
' Following the Angels '
' From my perspective on stage , all in the opening of the Olympic Games in 2012 came from above. There were waterfalls pyrotechnics, ' His Majesty ' it fell from a helicopter, after all Mary Poppins appeared. That night was amazing , I remember arriving at the stadium and think how lovely London can be . "
' Irene '
"Hurricane Irene 2011 was category three . The highest category is five, which is devastating. The eye of the storm was right over the house, it was scary but also outstanding. He had so much energy I thought, I have to write a topic about this, for inspiration I got old songs by the Rolling Stones . I love the harshness of their sound. I played the blues in the key of G , as Keith Richards used to do. "
' I Give Myself Away'
" I heard by chance and thought it was one of the most beautiful songs I had heard . I discovered that it was a religious theme Willian McDowell. I made a couple of changes to the letter so that it could be applied to everyday life. I was not going to include it , but the co -producer Steve Lipsion thought it was great, and to finish off the album fits perfectly . "

I am not a Facebook fan either, it feels like too much exposure.
