Tubular Bells

[xiphias]

Picked up a copy of this today for a fiver.

Was the world a whacked out place 30 years ago? This is sketchy, but I like it!

Don't be CHEEKY....

You'll be calling me an old fart next.....

That's the Album that made Richard Branson his first million

[xiphias]

Yeah I read his biography over christmas, and being someone who can't stand "modern" music (unless it's metal ), I thought I'd check it out. It's disjointed, but also seems to flow at the same time.

Oh, that's good music.

I used to love tubular bells. Kept me quiet on long journeys.

Good Ol' Mike Oldfield

If you want sketchy try Steve Hillage's Green.

It's a great album but you have to be in a certain state of mind, much like Tubular Bells.

I dare say KLF's 'Chill out' comes into the same category.



WHAT a disc!

[lord summerisle]

the opening bars always send a shiver down my spine...

TUBULAR BELLS. Never quite hit the spot for me.

[dirkgently]

My first album. I cant sleep so I`ll just go and dig it out,thanks for reminding me

[406tm]

What about Tangerine Dream? Ideal for when you come home Pi55ed.

Despite being 'far too young for that sort of thing', I've had a copy on cassette for years. I also bought it on CD for a fiver the other day.

Great music.

Wrong thread it seems. Clicked on here thinking it was about some other "Issue"

[page3]

That is really spooky. Was just listening to this...

[ehyouwhat]

'Tubular Bells' is ace, especially the second album (Tubular Bells II). Been into it since my early teens. Some really mood-envoking stuff there. I also like his 'Songs of Distant Earth' album, some really good stuff there too.

For a bit of a different edge to the same styles of music, try listening to an Icelandic band called Sigur Ros. I can't get enough of it (although lot's of people think it's depressing), and I can't wait to see them live in Manchester in March.

Courtesy of my ex, I have Tubular Bells 1, 2 and 3, oh and the TB2 in concert video at Edinburgh... well worth a watch if you can get it.

(I also seem to have everything else that Mike Oldfield has ever done)

[john75]

My CD of TB tends to get put on in traffic jams rather calming.

If you like Tubbie Bells, find a copy of Ommadawn by Oldfield. Similar, but better...
