An absolutely stellar and vital album that through its utter grandeur unfortunately inspired a myriad of noodly, artsy fucks in its wake to just blend instruments into one mush and call it prog. But hey, the best album any 19 year old has ever made.

Definitely an adventurous and great album at times, but I can confidently say I admire this album much more than I enjoy it. I know it is great, but I?m just more tickled by other prog of the era. Huge respect regardless, but I dont see this rating going up. Maybe like a 3.8

Mike Oldfield's fragile and pastoral classic. It's still interesting to note that Tubular Bells is almost devoid of rhythmic percussion but still holds a perfect pulse. Man plays a million instruments and still manages to have an inimitable and emotional guitar performance style. Side one is classic from beginning to end; side two is the afterglow.

You know this song and you know you love it. The classic "Exorcist Theme," except that it's so much more than the little piece they play in the movie. This two part epic masterpiece takes you on a journey through Mike Oldfield's mind and holds your attention until it ends with the quite humorous "Sailor's Hornpipe." Words alone cannot fully describe this album.

Classic. I used to hear it loads when I was younger and it used to scare me for some reason. Since, I've rediscovered it and realised just how amazingly talented Oldfield is playing virtually every instrument as well as his amazing composition skills.

Only one track (in two parts, but still)?!!!?!! Some might think that's just going over the top, but Mike Oldfield sure knows how to keep things interesting. Changing themes fluently every 5 minutes or so, this album/song floats along without every really changing abrupt (besides the ending maybe). Oldfield plays most of the instruments on this album himself, making him one of the most prominent multi-instrumentalists in pop culture. Yes, pop culture, because this album is one of the best sold albums of all time. Not bad for an album with only one (or two, depends on how you look at it) track eh?
