Length[edit]

The article currently states: "Five Miles Out" is a song that has a complex structure despite its unusual length. "Five Miles Out" is listed later in the article as being 4 minutes 16 seconds long; should this sentence be interpreted to mean "... despite its relatively short length by Oldfield's standards"? --Metropolitan90 03:23, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've rewritten this. I think the author was trying to say that the song is unusually complicated for a relatively short pop tune (the production is very elaborate and the musical structure has several build-ups). But ideally this should be a referenced statement, e.g. "writing in The NME, Nick Kent said that QUOTE the song has an unusually complicated structure for a relatively short pop song UNQUOTE", otherwise it's just an opinion. I know that Nick Kent was unlikely to have reviewed Five Miles Out in 1982. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 22:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cover[edit]

Who was the cover artist? Drutt 22:25, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think there's a signature at the bottom right of the painting. But I don't have a copy of the album to hand. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 22:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Video[edit]

Is that Maggie Reilly singing in the video, or an actress miming her words? If so, who was it? Danceswithzerglings (talk) 03:47, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
