That's the Devil's music. Begone Satan!
shareA band called Book Of Love made a dance floor version of TB that might be worth checking out, if you have a mind to.
shareI like how he announces the instruments. Glockenspiel totally ROCKS!.

Teeheehee. You're a naughty pet!
shareThat is so strange. I didn't know there was so much more to the song then just the Exorcist part, very cool.
shareit goes on forever.
shareI didn't either!
shareAt the time it was released there was nothing like it. The notion of one person playing all instruments, especially with the rudimentary studio techniques back then, was unheard of.
Personally I love side one but not a huge fan of side 2.
I also like TB2 a lot. And Ommadawn.
But Oldfield has a habit of going back and tinkering with it every few years. There was a TB3 that was not very good, and a few remixed versions that he did.
I had no clue (my usual state)
Thank youπ
The title reminded me of a couplet from the Edgar Allen Poe poem "The Bells":
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
