๑ Not (quite) Tubular Bells


Not (quite) Tubular Bells

Hi Again, this one features some twisted versions of TB, TB Rap Mix, Tubular Affair, Funkie Tubular Bells and Mike Oldfield Early Stages of Tubular Bells (as you can see in image above rsrsrsrsrsrs)


"Early Stages, was released of an embryonic form of Sentinel, as a B side to the sentinel single. It presents a recording made before the arrival of Trevor Horn on the project. The track has a much darker, moodier sound than the final album, much closer in feel to the original Tubular Bells. It seems that Horn's influence turned Tubular Bells II into a much more light, airy sounding album, free of much of the aggression of the first album"

๑ Duo Sonare plays Tubular Bells 1996

Duo Sonare plays Tubular Bells
[1996]



"Duo Sonare seem to have researched the exact guitar phrasing very closely and it shows. I'm sure we have all heard 'covers' of favourite pieces of music and been disappointed by the results - parts 1 and 2 of this album are definitely NOT in that category!

Duo Sonare have created a wonderful version.

If you are a fan of the first Tubular Bells or its orchestral version then I highly recommend this classical guitar duo version to you. It is very relaxing to listen to.

If you are not a fan of the original Tubular Bells or Mike Oldfield I can still commend this music to you. It is wonderful.......and it may just sow the seeds of a an experience that will make you wonder what you have missed all those years since 1973"
