	Tubular Bells - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tubular Bells is a record album, written and mostly performed by Mike Oldfield and orchestrated by David Bedford.
		Tubular Bells can be seen as the first of a "series" of albums consisting of Tubular Bells II (1992), Tubular Bells III (1998) and The Millennium Bell (1999), leading some critics to suggest that Oldfield was like Quasimodo - "chained to the Bells".
		Tubular Bells stayed in the British charts for over five years, reaching the number 1 spot after more than a year and taking there for one week the place of his second album, Hergest Ridge, thereby becoming one of only three artists in the UK to knock himself of the first spot.

	Tubular Bells III
		Tubular Bells of course started a career, Tubular Bells 2 was a relaunch on a new label with a more positive look.
		In my opinion, Tubular Bells III is one of his better works because it sounds excellent, mixing perfectly relaxing moments with others that leave you breathless with the "demiperfect" instrumental combinations in some of the themes like "The Source of Secrets", "Far Above the Clouds", and "Jewel in the Crown".
		Tubular bells was good but come on move on.

		Tubular Bells III was recorded at the home of club culture, Ibiza where Mike moved to initially for a house by the sea.
		As we left the rehearsal to the sound of the tubular bells known synonymously with their master we could hear their echoes filling the air of living rooms, bedrooms, cars and with a bit of luck, dance floors.
		Tubular Bells III is best synopsised by Oldfield, 'It's got highs and lows and hopefully by the end of it the listener thinks, "well, that was a really interesting experience.

	Medialunchbox - Music : Tubular Bells III (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In the beginning there was Tubular Bells, and it was good.
		"Tubular Bells" now is a brand, because Mike himself sounds convinced that anything that begins with a tinkly piano line and ends with the sound of bells instantly is "Tubular Bells" (check The Millennium Bell).
		As such, what once was a powerful name is banalised, brutalised and beaten to a pulp, because Tubular Bells III is nothing short of godawful.

		Tubular Bells is progressive rock starting to go New Age, but avoiding the later pitfalls of the New Age genre.

	DVD-Audio Review: Mike Oldfield - ‘Tubular Bells 2003’
		‘Tubular Bells 2003’ is a re-recording of the original 1973 composition and not to be confused with a new work based on the theme, as was the case with ‘Tubular Bells II’, ‘Tubular Bells III’ and to a lesser extent ‘The Millennium Bell’.
		Of the three, ‘Tubular Bells II’ is the king, the music is beautifully performed and the footage directed in a measured and engrossing way — watch out for the comic contribution of John Gordon Sinclair (of ‘Gregory’s Girl’, ‘Local Hero’ and ‘Fraggle Rock’ fame) during the ‘Altered State’ sequence, the 1992 incarnation of ‘Caveman’.
		So, on to the summary Musically, ‘Tubular Bells 2003’ is outstanding, superior even to the original; therefore as the two-channel track upon this DVD-Audio disc affords marginally higher fidelity (without crippling copy protection) than the CD alternative, it should be recommended for that element alone.

		Tubular Bells II is a very vibrant transfer with gloriously rich tones that frankly many a feature film would die for.
		Conversely, Tubular Bells III is a much more muted colourscape: no flashy, vibrant colours here and the tones are much more washed out in appearance.
		This is a dual sided disc, with the Tubular Bells II concert on side A and the Tubular Bells III concert on side B.

		Tubular Bells 2 was a disappointment - but Tubular Bells 3 confirms Mike Oldfield as one of the leading instrumentalists ever.
		Yes, Mike does seem to be milking the commercial potential of the name Tubular Bells a bit, but this is a good album.

		Tubular Bells III was recorded at Horse Guards Parade in London and features the tracks: 'The Watchful Eye', 'Jewel In The Crown', 'Outcast', 'Man In The Rain', 'Moonwatch', 'Far Above The Clouds', 'Serpent Dream', 'The Top Of The Morning' and 'The Source Of The Secrets'.
		There are several scenes, particularly noticeable with the Tubular Bells, but also evident with various keyboards and guitar sequences, where the musicians are apparently playing along to a recording; not what I’d expect at a world premier concert.
		This is repeated on TBIII during a close-up shot of Mike when the tubular bells chime before being struck.

		This is one of those 'double-DVD' on one disk type pressings, with 'Tubular Bells II Live (TB2L)' on one side and 'Tubular Bells III Live (TB3L)' on the other.
		TB2L is a natutal progression of the original 1970s Tubular Bells concept, except Mr Oldfield can now afford a sizeable ensemble of players to play all those modern day instruments that he once had to play all by himself.
		The music clearly showed its Tubular Bells heritage and the basic tunes should be very familiar to all.

	Mike Oldfield - Tubular.net - Tubular Bells III
		Mike may or may not have used a set of real tubular bells in the creation of the samples - he may have got the sounds from a sample CD or a synthesiser.
		The new sounds which Mike heard in the clubs were the inspiration he'd been seeking for a while, and he began work on techno-inspired variations on the Tubular Bells theme, which he then encouraged DJs to play, in order to see what the reaction from clubbers would be.
		As well as elements relating to Ibiza, Tubular Bells III contains elements which relate back to parts of his life and career.

		This DVD actually contains two separate live concerts, one side contains Tubular Bells II recorded at Edinburgh castle in 1992 and the other side contains the world premiere of Tubullar Bells II recorded at Horse Guards Parade in London in 1998.
		The two concerts are basically the two studio albums Tubular Bells II and III verbatim (simply live performances).
		On Tubular Bells II I also noticed that the "last" song (Moonshine) was done quite differently to that which is on the studio album (they had a little fun with it).
