Oh, this album has a twist ending! Oldfield is the Shama Lama Ding Dong of music.

It's not a song, it's a musical journey!

Okay for a couple of minutes, then I start getting restless. By the end, if I haven't been able to escape, I'm homicidal.

By the way, do you know a German group called Spark?

I'd say it's more minimalist (Philip Glass, Michael Nyman, Wim Mertens, and so), which is based in repeating unceasingly an small motive, adding more and more layers. Tubular Bells has been labeled more than once as a minimalist work.
