From ."Universal Pop de.

I ran it through Google translation, as the original is in German. The translation results in "details that are the problem". I've also lopped out the first paragraph in which Mike mentions problems fitting into his drawers;


"LIGHT"

"Angelique" "is called one of the pre-setting on one in such a way my Synthesizer.  As always have I begun to develop the music from down and this piece sounded somehow.  I cannot really say, like it to it came, finally I simply only a few buttons pressed.  I normally come every three days from my studio and have a new TRACK finished.  Then I am only times finished.  Like a birth always feels."

"Blackbird" "I wanted to make a pure piece of piano, with which I use my last real instrument:  means 1928er Steinway.  I have the title from one of my motorcycles entliehen, because I have a whole garage with fast machines.  Among them is also a Honda Blackbird.  The piece is slower, but it is to be understood rather in such a way, how Stanley Kubrick worked in "2001" with music:  If one drives, then the time feels nevertheless at the same time slowed down on, as in slow motion.  I may it set me apart with my music machinery but then I need also again a break and disappear on my fast motorcycles.  I already airplanes out tried, even for mine flugschein made, but was me everything too reaming that.  Motorcycles are simply many more erholsamer, more relaxender."

"The Gate" "with this piece I worked with this singing software:  Vocaloid.  One takes that to completely rauen, untreated sound, sends him by few Plug in, and everything already sounds beautiful.  The title is of my grandfather, Michael Liston, from Cork.  I knew that he had disappeared an at night and only three years later returned, but then found out I that he had actually fought in the First World War, in Ypres in France, where also the monument was established later.  Once after Ypres and schau the museum starts for you - then you have exactly the tendency, this Song are subject."

"First Steps" "thereby concerns it a composition of pieces, which I made for my play ` for Tres Lunas '.  At the beginning of the play one is alone in the desert, stands before a Kaktus, and if one starts then, this music begins.  Robin Smith, a friendly Keyboarder, helped me with the arrangements for the piece."

"Closer""during my journey after Ypres I heard a Hymne and found out that it" was Pres De Trois ".  I liked the piece so gladly that I made even a keltische version of it.  But the violent Dudelsack melodies did not fit so well on the plate, therefore I made a Blues version from it."

"Our Father" "that was originally a melody out ` Tres Lunas '.  I changed the original at the time, when the Pope straight lay in dying, so that the whole fascination, which had its life on me, into whom Song flowed.  When it died then in the long run, I did not have the feeling at all that he was dead now, because I was thematically still completely conscious with him.  For me this Song provides its whole life there, and also its death."  

"Rocky" "is called my horse in such a way.  It is an Arab Hengst, which always arrives with me and wants me to embrace.  If we did not have it a daily no more with us, it determines an incomprehensible beast become."  

"Sunset" "with ` Maestro ', the second play, which I made, gives it this completely special melody, which one can only hear, if one created it in the last level.  In the case of ` Sunset ' I made a variation from evenly this melody, whereby I had however in the back of the head that it should become a Chill Out number.  Therefore also the name:  ` Sunset '."  

"SHADE"

"Quicksilver" "I does not find that this TRACK is Dance music.  Perhaps music with a Dance Beat.  I tried with the piece to after-draw underwater movements with dolphins and ascending blisters.  When I lived on Ibiza, I had often seen dolphins behind the ships - that was real impressing."

"Resolution"
"where I lives - in Chalfont pc. Giles - gives it a monument for Capitan Cook.  I stand on journeys, and Captain Kirk was based on Captain Cook, whose ship was called also ` resolution '.  With the ship it drove into the Antarctic.  Thus I made music, which sounds like ice.  When I was then however with the photographs, went in the Iraq war all more drunter and more drueber, so that here different elements accumulated."

"Slipstream" "I inquired with flat steel bar of studios whether I can work with one the demo Songs of its Fruity loop software, because I was from the reef really umgehauen.  They assured immediately, and from this reef ` Slipstream became then sometime '."  to

"Surfing" "I on my own being correct parts the virtual vowel parts from this software program ` CAN gate ' put - together with the sounds of robot then this TRACK came thereby raus."  

"Tears of an Angel" "at the time was very sad my daughter Molly straight.  I worked during its straight with the Vocaloid program.  The wrong voices with my own paired ensure for the fact that one has a beautifully close choir effect."  

"Romance" "the first thing, which beginners of Spanish guitar play learn, is that there are two sounds - one in Dur and one in Moll.  I wanted to actually make a Dance version, but the Dur variant did not function so quite.  Thus I remained with the dark side of the romance.  Perhaps one must imagine a dear history, which goes completely into the trousers, so that both parties get lawyers on their side, around itself to then fight correctly."  

"Ringscape" "still another piece of ` Tres Lunas '.  It originates from this place, at which an owl carries forward on a journey.  By a desert, into a tunnel, and then into a world from eispickeln.  And again Robin Smith helped me thereby."  

"Nightshade" "Christopher of Deylen and I settled that we help each other out mutually with in each case one of our pieces.  Thus I play now guitar on a piece its volumes Schiller, and he helped out me with this Song with bass and schlagzeug.  Except Robin Smith is Christopher the only guest on the album.  Everything else is from me"

It's Mike remembering his child years when he was into Catholic church,like his mother:

Mike Oldfield @ Heaven and Earth TV show,2002:
Well my mother being Irish, she was a Roman Catholic. They put me on the first stages of educating me to be a Catholic. I remembered just after my first confession, I just couldn't make any sense of it and I just starting evolving on my own. I am very spiritually aware and I love churches, it doesn't matter what religion. I just love any place where people focus on spiritual energy. It just gives me peace and it gives me happiness.
