Members groutt Posted September 11, 2008 Members Share Posted September 11, 2008 I've been annoying a friend at work today by going on and on and on about how much I like the album Tubular Bells. On and on and on. Until finally he won't listen to me any more... Did I ever mention how much I like the album Tubular Bells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members groutt Posted September 11, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 11, 2008 Tubluar Bells II is good too, and very clean sounding, but I like TB1 best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Perfessor Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 I remember that album. A friend used it as his study album. I had the QE2 album that had Phil Collins on the drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rob Martinez Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 Great music, THE EXORCIST theme song which spawned tons of copy cat songs for horror films. I love THE EXORCIST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members groutt Posted September 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 i am familiar with the percussion instrument tubular bells but, what is this album tubular bells? It's only like maybe the greatest album evah. Here's a better description than I can give wikipedia - Tubular Bells The first few minutes was used as the theme for The Exorcist. I listened to the album about a bazillion times before I ever saw the movie, so I don't make the connection that much. It's got 2 parts. Side 1 and Side 2. Mike Oldfield plays most of the instruments (not that common back then). It was the first release for Virgin Records. It was pressed along with classical music records because they had better quality vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wades_keys Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 I used to know a guy that could play the Tubular Bells Theme on bass, using two handed tapping. Sadly he committed suicide in 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
