Free Music Notes for Tubular Bells 2003
Free Music Review: Good, but different from the original
Hit: 4 Stars
When I had bought this I had ordered the original version and received this version. When I saw that it was 2003 I thought about returning it, but decided to keep it. When I first put it on I immediately noticed a difference even though I had not heard this in years. I still have the vinyl LP from the '70s! I really like this version of Tubular Bells, but I am not sure if I like it as much as the original version. The original version was done with less instruments which lends to its uniqueness. The sound quality of this version is by far better than the original due to the limitations from the source tape of the original. All in all, I am glad I kept this version, but will buy the original version also.Free Music Review: Excellent re-make, excellent surround mix
Hit: 4 Stars
With this 2003 re-recording of Tubular Bells, Oldfield stays totally faithful to the original arrangements, not changing anything (except for the use of John Cleese at the end). Listening to this, it's sort of akin to listening to a performer doing a live performance of an old classic when they remain faithful to the original recording but everything sounds better due to newer recording technology, and this, of course is a new studio re-working, not a live performance so it's really immaculate-sounding. As for the 5.1 mix on the DVD-A, it is wonderful: you'll hear this work in an entirely new light. Highly recommended as a fine new companion piece to the original.Free Music Review: give the "get on with your career" judgments a break

This album sounds good. Do I care if this is the only thing he ever did 5 and 6 times? NO! If you are troubled by that, don't listen to it, but that does not make THIS rendition a bad one. It sounds GREAT, just as powerful, but I guess nothing is more powerful than nostalgia is it? If you like tubular bells, if you wish to hear a different take on the same music of lo those many years ago, then you will LOVE this album. If you are hoping for a comeback of high-heel shoes for men with goldfish in the sole, then better stick with 1973..Free Music Review: Good job Mike.
Hit: 4 Stars
Well this album is the result of a long journey and my personal opinion is that it has those new small changes that makes it refreshing than Tubular Bells I, but of course the spontaneity and passion of Tubular Bells I is unique as well as many others
on those years; " It's a good album."
Well I think that Mike can deliver an insuperable music as he showed to us in " Songs of Distant Earth " and many others.
Free Music Review: Aged well with the years

Think of this 2003 re-recording of the 30 year old Tubular Bells like your spouse of as many years with a new outfit; you'll remember what you love about it all over again. Now how about releasing that live version the Queen Elizabeth Hall in June 1973, with Mick Taylor, Steve Hillage, Fred Frith, Ted Speight, David Bedford, Kevin Ayers and Pierre Moerlen?!
