This is Oldfield's lowest point?his least creative, most generic, poppy, bland collection of vaguely recognizable pop songs. Luckily, his next album (Amarok) presented a complete resurgence of the unique creativity that makes Mike Mike. Skip this one and go straight to Amarok.

Mike Oldfield is a very diverse artist. In the more than 30 years that he's been around now, he has made a whole bunch of albums in a whole bunch of different styles. In the 80s, Mike made some extremely poppy, radio-friendly music but on most albums of this age he did include a song in which he looks back to his instrumental roots. Earth Moving, however, doesn't have this, it's all pop and there's nothing really interesting going on. And it's not the kind of enjoyable pop, it's the kind that works on people's nerves very easily. This is the worst Mike Oldfield album I own, and I've already given it several serious listens but always ended up disappointed. If you want a taste of Mike's more poppy work, check out Crises or Discovery but stay away from this album unless you're a completist.
