Crises is an album by Mike Oldfield , released in 1983. It is a concept album about the Cold War on which Oldfield plays all the instruments.

The album's opening track, "Taurus II", is a twenty-minute epic about the nuclear arms race. The track was inspired by the Soviet false nuclear alarm incident of 1983.
