Music : Tubular Bells Vol.1: Remastered

Rating: - "The Most Brilliant Beat and Style Ever Made!"
I became familiar with part of part 1 of this album in The Exorcist. So I purchased this album. It is so mystical, or you might say even creepy. But we must say this: it is brilliant. Throughout the approximately 20 minutes of each part, Part 1 and 2, Mike Oldfield show us he is the youngest performer to be such a multitalented genius. When this album came out in 1973, this was the best birthday present he could have gotten at the age of 19, something magical he created. In both parts, he even surprises us with beats we do not expect. It even gives us, at times, to matter how much we listen to it, a shock. There is no doubt in my mind that this was very influential. John Carpenter's theme for Halloween probably would not exist if it wasn't for this. I would even like to meet Mr. Oldfield one day to thank him for his brilliance. I love listening to this album when I take walks during the evenings. Grab this album now and thanks for reading.

Rating: - The original and still the best
This album unveiled a breath-taking aural journey to an unsuspecting public, over two 25 minute long tracks. At the centre of it all is Oldfield, playing almost every instrument, toying with time-signiatures, diverse and unlikely combinations of sounds, textures and moods. Imaginative and inspired.
