Light + Shade is a two-disc record album by the English musician Mike Oldfield. It was the first album to be released by Oldfield following his signing with Mercury Records. The album was released on 26 September 2005. Some of the music on these CDs was originally released, with alternate mixes, on the soundtracks to his virtual reality games, Tres Lunas and Maestro.
Background
The album offers two genres of music for two different moods, a division which Oldfield created by making two CDs of music. The first nine tracks are dubbed "Light" and feature brighter and quiet pieces; the second half of the album is the "Shade" portion and brings in a much darker feel. Many of the tracks on the album are remixed and/or extended versions of the music from the Tres Lunas video game.
On his official website, Oldfield reported that besides the standard version of the album, a 5.1 surroundmix of the album had been produced as well. However, as of 2010 it has not been released. Four tracks from Light + Shade were made available in the U-MYX format for fans to mix themselves.
Following the success of the 1985 album Songs, Virgin Records had the band work on a follow-up album with the US as its intended target market. The first single "Angel" received moderate airplay on a radio station in Los Angeles. However, during this time, the US arm of Virgin Records dropped several artists off their roster — Fra Lippo Lippi being one of them. Frustrated by the album's failure to capture the US market, the band parted ways with Virgin Records in 1988.
Sleepy passion lie so close to me And contemplate the sky The moonshine Reflecting in your eyes Ooh, this is all that i ask for That these simple pleasures are lastin' forever Turn out the light, turn out the light... And let's crystallize in time Sing a song - it's just your soul laughing Sing a song - it's just your soul crying (can you hear it) Let this midnight never be gone No more searchlights, travelling on Holding you tight, tight in my armour Under my wings, love, you'll never be warmer Ah, then the cruel morning comes All my dreams are gone Sing a song - it's just your soul laughing, sing it Sing a song - it's just your soul crying So cruel is the day The sunshine showing up the cracks in my life Lighting up the hole in my heart Hey yeah, please, turn out the light
