An interesting point of view - we would have been out of our depth with the weight of it at the time, our reasoning was more like - "It's a beautiful thing - glad to have done it! - All down the pub - Richard's buyin'!)
I know lots of ppl like to analyse Mike's music but just sit back and listen, there is nothing like it ,,,,,,ever,,,,a genius in our time
His young soul was fighting with demons inside himself and the result was three Masterpieces - Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn in three years - from 1973-75. At the time I was a teenager 15-17 year old and I and my friends called it Sympho Rock, today it's Prog. It's very hard to describe my feelings about his music, especially in a foreign language, but his music is pure life, our life with its emotions and Mike does it like no one before him and none after. I've been listening to his opus since 1974. IN the seventies I recall another young man and his very popular song - Sad Song :)
Ive been listening to Mike for over 40 years. Anyone here have a soft spot for Amarok?
TB was not a "stress-free" production... He was given 1 week for recording the first half and only after the other artists had finished recording for the day. For such a complex piece of music, that couldn't be stress free... Besides Mike had emotional problems too.
As a Mike fan, this video is lovely. And I encourage to all viewers to go and listen the rest of his work. He has 26 albums that covers and explores new and common generes alike, with beautiful and even controversial music.
I still have the first LP put out from when I was a young kid.
This is how to tell TB's story within 13 minutes indeed. Very well put together!
A few years ago, I went into a very well known record shop, and asked if they had any Mike Oldfield on Blue Ray, the sales assistant looked at me and said, "Who's Mike Oldfield, I've never heard of him".

In 74 I bought a vinyl more than Tubular Bells, and even today it remains in the original package of the store that no longer exists.
I first heard Tubular Bells when I was 15 and I was absolutely entranced. Mike's music has been a part of my life since then, I have all his albums and listen to them regularly. I always return to Tubular Bells, the original and best.
Tubular Bells is one of my favorite albums. Out of any of my records, Tubular Bells is the one I listen to the most.
My all time favorite album. I've had to buy it 3 times. Both tracks are top of my play list now. Thanks for the upload.
Wonder why has it taken years for this to be placed as a great piece of music. I loved it from the beginning.
Excellent exposition, well researched and very interesting. I never really thought of this as a modern classical composition - but that is exactly what it is. Inspirational! Thank you.
This is an extremely well-done presentation and analysis of a monster piece of music, in under 14 minutes :) Very interesting - thank you.
Fantastic explanation of one of the best albuns of all times, together with Ommadawn. Both will remain for ever. Thanks Mike. Thanks RF.
Very well done. <3
Great video! We all enjoyed this informative watch!
