Magic Touch (Mike Oldfield song)

"Magic Touch" is a single by musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1988 (see 1988 in music). It is from the album Islands.

Charts

The song charted at number 10 on the US Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart.

Release details

It was only released in the USA, Germany and Australia. The music video for this single was directed by Alex Proyas. The video for the song was available on The Wind Chimes and Elements.

Vocalists

The original mix features Max Bacon on vocals. This version does not appear on the European releases of the Islands album, due to Max Bacon still being under contract to Arista Records at the time. However, Bacon's vocals do appear on the US album version, which was not released until 1988 in an attempt to capitalize on Bacon's familiarity to US audiences as the vocalist of GTR . The UK album version features Jim Price on vocals.

Artwork

The single's artwork differed in the UK and US. The UK artwork showed Oldfield standing on a blue background, covered in shadows of hands. The US artwork is in a similar style to the album cover, showing hands rising out of the ocean.
