I'm really looking forward to this re-recording. Yes, I
know it's only a re-hash of a brilliant classic, but as Mike
Oldfield said so himself, "This Album went on to become the
most successfull rock instumental Album of all time. To my
ears however I was always aware of it's imperfections. Notes
out of tune, out of time, rushed playing, mistakes in
performance, electonic noise etc etc... "

Any Oldfield fans here? Or his not
noisy/random/scitzo/complicated enough? :D

Tubular Bells. Orchestral Tubular Bells. Tubular Bells II.
Tubular Bells III. The Millenium Bell. Tubular Bells 2003.
Hmmmm.

That said, I love the original. Infact, I think that,
Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn are fantastic albums. After that
he went a bit...well...

It's easy to be cynicle and say he's milking the music. He's
milking the name, that's true. But I personally thought
Tubular Bells3 was a storming album..very emmotional,
sometimes harsh, and well produced. Amorak was very
experimental, and Tres Lunars was alright as a chill-out
album. Yes, the Millenium Bell was..er..embarassing...:D

But he HAS done some good stuff recently.
