Free Music Notes for Tubular Bells
Free Music Review: No imagination!
Hit: 2 Stars
Going through the reviews of Bells, I am particularly surpised by the irritation caused by the vocal bit on side two - The so called Klingon vocal. Well people, you simply have no imagination. I've always liked that bit. When it came, me and a friend of mine always had lots of fun, because we envisioned a little dwarf being chased by a pack of wolves. The little dwarf runs for his life, hindered by a full belly due to too much eating and drinking at a party the previous night. He has to puke constantly. Every now and then, he has to stop and lean against a tree to empty his stomach. That's where the SHLAUUUGHHH! noise comes from. meanwhile, you can hear the wolves, who are gaining on him, howl in the background.
By the way, Bells doesn't interest me much. It's a mosaic of little ideas and not particularly interesting melodies. Doesn't take a genius to put together. But, granted, Oldfield would prove his uncommon craftmanship years later, with Incantations and Amarok.
Tubular Bells Poster
The opening bars of this classic album by Mike Oldfield were heard by audiences that packed theaters to witness one of the scariest films of all time--The Exorcist. And it wasn't long before this debut release, not only from Oldfield but also from Richard Branson's new record label, Virgin, found itself in the upper echelons of pop charts around the world. Primarily an instrumental album, with performances on almost every instrument credited to Oldfield, it takes the listener into widely varying musical territories, ending as Viv Stanshall formally announces each instrument as it joins the mix. --Paul ClarkRemastered edition of the new age/art rock composer's 1973 release. Digitally remastered by Simon Heyworth (who originally co-produced 'Tubular Bells' with Oldfield and Mike Newman) using the latest technology. Artwork has been digitally restored and includes additional photos and brand new sleeve notes. 2000.
