Earth Moving is the 12th record album by British musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1989.
It was the first time Oldfield recorded an album without an instrumental piece; each track being vocal-based pop and rock songs.
[3] According to an interview Mike Oldfield and Anita Hegerland gave on the television programme Good Morning Britain, the song "Innocent" was inspired by their young daughter Greta, who appears in the song's music video.
[4] "Earth Moving", "Innocent" and "(One Glance Is) Holy" were released as singles.
The album was recorded using an Atari 1040ST with C-Lab Notator software, a Harrison Series X console, a Studer A8800 tape deck with Dolby SR noise reduction, an Ampex Grand Master tape and ATC SCM200 monitors.
