| | New Sounds Interview |
 | | TUBULAR BELLS, the first volume, was pretty far ahead of its time in a lot of ways, in the use of incredible amounts of overtracking, it seems, and there was a lot of processing of the sound of guitar, in one way or another. |
 | | The combination of sounds on the beginning of TUBULAR BELLS 1 was a grand piano, it was a sort-of sustained flute-y sound on the Farfisa organ, and a glockenspiel, and there was that combination of three instruments that created that sound. |
 | | TUBULAR BELLS doesn't belong in that world, so it was inappropriate to use large elements of the classical world, and so we scrubbed that idea. |
