Mike Oldfield - Guilty

[@aleksandarpopov6664]

That was the soundtrack of a 10 minute info broadcast right before the 8 o'clock news in Bulgaria for years during the socialism. The synthwave part is imprinted in the brains of all of the people who remember the times, most of them have forgotten where it's from and probably never even knew it's from a Mike Oldfield song.

[@robicenco1]

That's very interesting - my first reaction on hearing it (which is now - I've been an Oldfield fan for 20 years but only ever owned his albums) was that this sounds like it was written for a news/current affairs/technology tv programme of its era.

[@sergiomontesrepisoSMR]

Particularly interesting that they used a song named "Guilty" for it

[@aleksandarpopov6664]

@@sergiomontesrepisoSMR The person who chose it might not have put any undertext in it, they have most probably translated this just phonetically at first. Also the regular viewers didn't even know the name if this song, let alone what it means.

[@sergiomontesrepisoSMR]

@@aleksandarpopov6664 I guessed so. Still, interesting/funny to think about the reactions back then of the people there that understood english, listening to the lyrics "I'm guilty" (in case it they didn't get rid of the vocals)

[@NigelRudyard]

I've been listening to this track since it was released in 1978, and it still sounds fresh to this day. Genius never gets old.

[@biketommy999]

The Mike Oldfield magic. One of the best instrumentals ever made.

[@joezava8257]

Oldfield le copia a Giorgio Moroder, Jean M. Jarre, Dan Lacksman (Telex), Claudio Gizzi (Droid) y YMO... En especial a Giorgio Moroder (EDM / HI-NRG y Synthpop). Fin del Progressive Rock & Krautrock Alemán.

[@RobertWeingher]

This track is fascinating, i remember listening to Mike Oldfield first live album, i had it recorded on a cassette, yeah, it was long ago, i used to listen to the full album before going to sleep, it was a very good time, all the people that i knew, friends and girlfriends were listening to Mike Oldfield, it was the late seventies and early eighties, the best of times.

Along with McCartney (see 'McCartney II') Oldfield was making music in the late 70's and early 80's way ahead of his time and reached the peak with this.

[@robert48719]

Come a come along with me to my darkroom.....

[@banbrotam]

@@robert48719 Classic. Macca at his pervy best. I remember buying this album around my 18th birthday and been blown away buy it. Way ahead of its time and it's great that this has been recognised by a lot of the techno brigade of the 90's and beyond.

[@robert48719]

@banbrotam yeah that was somehow the first song that came to my mind when you named the record. I would actually say that coming up might be my favorite song on it while one of these days or the instrumental frozen jap are songs I love to listen to as well

[@riddick9547]

Mike ... It was our beautiful time and age. Already people like you are not born, unfortunately. Thank you that you are

[@richardmurphy4520]

Great Oldfield instrumental, definitely stamped with the atypical production sound of its time ( 1979), ditto Herb Alperts ," Rise " and " 1980," from his " Rise" album a year later. ( 1980)

"But then I thought "You know what... It kinda sounds like a Mike Oldfield song,".... I think that's my nomination for this year's prize for the phrase in the English language that is the most right and the most wrong at the same time. I just searched for this because I couldn't remember which song had that trippy "not guilty" choir thingy thing in it... For some reason my back brain was screaming "MIKE BLOODY OLDFIELD!" and my front brain was shouting back "DON'T TALK SHITE!". It bloody was! HA! I was RIGHT (or WRONG)!

I've been a Mike Oldfield's fan for many a year and I've seen this video many times but I'd never realized on your point, and it really is a very good point. Whether or not, the Statue of Liberty and those four faces are icons of free-masonry, thus, GUILTY, in capital letters. Greetings from Chile.

[@Coneman3]

One things Mike has never been is political, although I suspect he leans to the right. He just objects to things which affect him directly like smoking ban. Probably makes him an MBTI Perceiver rather than a Judger. I heard INTP on internet.

[@Khatouche]

For some reason this came into my head this morning, so I thought I'd have a listen - and I swear I thought this came from when Mike was going through his 'Ibiza Moment' - but it's actually from 1979! You're right, it IS so ahead of it's time. Still great in 2016!

[@mrindecisive100]

In exactly the right time; 1979 was a fantastic year for music.

[@securityrobot]

It certainly was.

[@ZandaKristy]

I loved the b side of the single just as much as the a side. It was called "Excerpt from Incantation" and if I remember correctly it was more like a fast 12-inch remix, The tempo was faster than normal and quite rocky. It was Incantations compressed to a four minute single.

[@thomaskirchner691]

Much more better on the LP" Musik Wonderland" this beautyful Instrumental Song.

[@navalerman1508]

👑.

[@onsesejoo2605]

I remember an interview around the album Incantations. He mentioned disco music and the feeling of letting yourself go it can give. This was, obviously, his take on that. One have to remember that several major pop- and rock bands or artists were flirting around with disco, such as Elton John with Kiki Dee "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", Rolling Stones "Miss You" , -Rod Stewart "Do You Think I'm Sexy".

[@chopchung]

Yes,Onsease, they were ALL at it back then. It is not surprising when you consider what the Bee Gees managed to do in 1977, I.E. compleateyt re-inventing themselves and selling MOUNTAINS of records in the process.In my opinion most of the established acts who jumped on the Disco bandwagon made a VERY good job of it and thus Here Comes The Night" is, IMHA, a classic-complete with screeeeeeeching chimp on the VERY extended 12" mix.

[@chopchung]

Beach Boys- "Here Comes The Night", if in any doubt.

[@onsesejoo2605]

Kiss - "I Was Made For Loving You", ABBA managed to combine some rock and disco in their "Summer Night City".

[@johngallagher1262]

I was just in to my 20s when this wonderful track was released. It was a huge departure from MO's earlier work which I bought and loved. I recall a story about this piece where someone bet him that he couldn't write a disco track. Guilty was the result and MO won the bet!
