Editorial Reviews

Product description

1973

Amazon.com

The opening bars of this classic album by Mike Oldfield were heard by audiences that packed theaters to witness one of the scariest films of all time--The Exorcist. And it wasn't long before this debut release, not only from Oldfield but also from Richard Branson's new record label, Virgin, found itself in the upper echelons of pop charts around the world. Primarily an instrumental album, with performances on almost every instrument credited to Oldfield, it takes the listener into widely varying musical territories, ending as Viv Stanshall formally announces each instrument as it joins the mix. --Paul Clark

A masterpiece for the time it was released

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2010

Verified Purchase

I remember hearing "Tubular Bells" when it was first released back in 1973 on a radio station that played albums during the evening hours. Granted, I wasn't very old and I had to borrow my mother's portable FM radio, but nevertheless, it burned into my cranium and back then I believed it was a masterpiece. So, by getting the CD version of the album I heard was all I needed to re-live that experience. Like 'The Dark Side Of The Moon', 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' and 'Selling England By The Pound', this is what I consider progressive. In my opinion, it is an orchestral maven and it deserves to be in the collection of those who lived this period and still enjoy hearing songs longer than 3:30 minutes.

I realize the album version is different than what Mr. Oldfield expected. But, THIS is the version I remember hearing and this is the version that I enjoy. The infamous movie came later. The album was first. It is NOT the theme to The Exorcist. It is 'Tubular Bells' and I will continue to enjoy its beauty, no matter how minimalistic or dated it seems. At the time it was originally released, it was a monument recording and that is how I will view it. Avant-garde, yet majestic, haunting and in my words, symphonic.

I am pleased to finally have this in my collection.

I liked it once, long ago....

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2003

I was really into this album when it came out. I was in High School and I used to listen to it alone in my room with the black lights on and a candle or two burning. Way cool....
Time passes and I stumble upon a copy of it in a used CD rack. 'Hey I remember this!" $5.00 and I'm on my way to relive some of my lost youth.
I rip open the package and jam the thing in my car's CD player. I can't wait. Ahhh there's the familar theme from that scary movie. Cool. Stuff slowly beings to happen...more instruments start to come in...Yeah, just like I rememeber... 5 minutes in and I'm starting to wonder, "hey where's the good stuff?" Ten minuets pass and I can hardly keep from giggling. The melodies are simplistic and nieve, the sound textures are silly and the music is - dare I say it? - boring! Yes there are some nice tunes that start off filled with promise, but then they either get repeated over and over again into oblivion or they get swamped with cliche ridden sounds (When's the last time anyone used a fuzz effect on a guitar? There's a reason why, ya know. It sounds stupid!)
I really lost it when the caveman chorus started up. Talk about stupid! I used to think it was a nice and silly way to break up the piece - sort of an aural intermission - but now I can't help but think that Mike O. was serious about this section - well as serious as he was in the preceeding sections of the work anyway - and that he actually thought that this part was, well, meaningful or arty or ...something other than just plain old stupid.
At last, the really pretentious and inane part with the english guy introducing the instruments. YAWN! Who the heck cares?
And finally, the thing that sums it all up perfectly: the sailor's hornpipe at the the end speeding away into silliness. Couldn't think of a good ending, could ya, Mike?
I did try to listen to the CD one more time a few days later to see if I had missed something. Nope. I ended up giving it to my (older) brother - also a former fan of the piece - and I don't think he's gotten all the way through it.
Bottom line: Pretension posing as art, silliness posing as creative cleverness.
I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because it might be worth listen to if you're stoned. Or if you have nothing else to do.

The original, nothing more or less

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2007

I first heard this in its entirity via a scratchy record from a used record store. Scratches and all, I loved it (well most of it - I found the "Piltdown Man" annoying). Now I can hear everything clearly.

Since I ordered the CD used, I'm not sure whither I got the "remastered" or simply "transferred to CD" version. My CD sounds like the record (without the scratches). There's no dramatic increase in dynamic range.

It would have been nice to have separate tracks for each "movement", not just part 1 / part 2. It would be nice to, say, jump to the start of the "introducing the instruments" section (which has a definite beginning) and to skip the "Piltdown man" (which has a definite beginning and end).

Epic pop poetry...

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2007

This too often gets tagged with the description "the music from The Exorcist", and that's a shame, because the whole album (especially the first half) is phenomenal. Oldfield played almost all the instruments himself, and the whole suite (it's one long song clocking in at just under 50 minutes) is amazing to listen to. I've always loved this album, and despite having other Oldfield albums (which are great as well), this is really the most exceptional of his work. There are many, many memorable themes played within the 50 minutes, culiminating in a wonderful, intense, and joyous ending. Oldfield doesn't get lumped as progressive rock, but his work is very similar to it, especially here. Remember to get the original version of this. There are many other versions (including a sequel, an orchestral version, and another version with narration by John Cleese(!)), so make sure you know what you're purchasing.

LOTS OF WORK~~BUT WORTH IT ALL!!!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

The reason for THIS rating is that Mike Oldfield is quite a GREAT MUSICIAN! THIS required QUITE A LOT OF TIME to compose~~Not to mention PUT IT TOGETHER IN THE STUDIO!!!!!!! In the EARLY 70s, it was/had to be done the 'OLD FASHIONED WAY"! For LACK OF A BETTER TERM! Sure there WAS TECHNOLOGY THEN~~Though NOT EVERYTHING was simply "PUSHING A BUTTON" to make it happen!!!!!!! It was A BIT MORE INVOLVED!!!!!!! LOTS OF REEL TO REEL TAPE! Timing was NOT IMPORTANT~~IT WAS EVERYTHING!!!!!!! Pots of COFFEE? YOU BET!!!!!!! Sleepless Nights? DON'T EVEN ASK!!!!!!! However, when you heard the FINISHED PRODUCT~~Was WORTH IT ALL & THEN SOME!!!!!!! I suppose THAT's why I appreciate THIS ALBUM AS I DO! I know SOME of WHAT WENT INTO MAKING IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!

Different to my 1970s LP, not as good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

I hoped this would be an exact duplicate of my original 1970s disc but it’s not, some bits sound different on this new record and on the whole not as good and lively. It’s a good quality pressing but sadly not good enough to replace my 40 year old LP which still plays well. A lot of the differences are minor but to me noticeable. It sounds more like a CD I have which is a messed about much later version, rather than a CD from the early 80s which is a much closer to the original recording. If your 70s disc is in a bad condition then this is a nice replacement, otherwise I wish I’d stuck to my old disc and not bothered with this one.
As I said differences are minor but something seems lacking in this new LP. After listening to this I then played my old LP at same settings and could immediately notice a difference.
This disc had a lot of flecks of paper on the playing surface and a bit of the paper cover had stuck to the playing surface at the start of side 2

Remastered

Reviewed in Germany on February 28, 2013

Also ich bin ein Fan von den frühen Sachen von MO und natürlich von TB. Besitze die erste Ausgabe auf CD, die mit der LP, die ich auch mal hatte, identisch ist. Die alte CD klingt eigentlich ganz in ordnung. Trotzdem war ich gespannt, was die neue remastered Version hergibt. Tatsächlich klingt sie .... erstmal anders. Teilweise merkt man, dass bestimmte Stellen verbessert wurden und viel tranparenter klingen, andere Stellen, wie das Finale des ersten Stückes, klingen ganz anders, als auf der alten CD. Tatsächlich gefällt mit teilweise die alte Aufnahme besser, teilweise aber auch die Neue. Wenn man beide hat, ist es kein Fehler. Also ich würde meine alte nicht hergeben für die Neue. Nur jetzt muss ich mir jedes mal überlegen, welche ich höre... ;-(

p.s.: wer noch keine Version hat und die Möglichkeit hat, beide zu bekommen, sollte sie nutzen. Das ist meine Empfehlung.
