4.0 out of 5 stars The CD May Play, The DVD Import Means Not For U.S. Market, August 10, 2003

This review is from: Complete Tubular Bells (+ Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)

The CD Is Encrypted To Prevent Rips To Computers, And The DVD Will Not Play Because It's The PAL Format, Not NTSC Format Like We Use In The United States, But The Music Is Still Great. It Has Been Completely Rerecorded And The Changes Did Not Offend My Ear. Why It Was Not Released In The United States Was A Gross Error On Their Part. I Feel It's Worth Adding The CD To Ones Collection.

I have both the early and re-release of this CD and I can honestly say that I like them both for different reasons. I think that the announcement of the various instruments on the re-release is too overdone - I liked the more natural sound of the first release. The instruments are much more apparent in the new release and don't run over each other due to the new recording techniques. As far as the DVD, you cannot play it on your DVD player, but try it on your computer and you will be blown away! After seeing the DVD portion, I would have bought the CD just for that alone! Everyone that has seen it on my computer just raves about it. There is one image that shows the reflection of a flower captured in a single drop of water. You would have to see it to realize how beautiful it is. The first time you watch the DVD it is like sensory overload. Fantastic!!

I am glad that I purchased this CD. It was a GREAT addition to my colletion.
