4/5What a strange album this is. There is little dialogue, many instruments, 2 tracks, both at great lengths, and yet it doesn't sound dated to me, and still sounds as good as ever. This album was created in 1973 by Mike Oldfield, who was only in his 20s at the time. He plays nearly every instrument that you hear(at one point you hear him announce which ones, on Track One), and he does so with great skill. Reminds me of Sting, being so multi-talented and versatile on all the instruments. This album got famous as the opening bars were used in the 1973 film The Exorcist(maybe I'll actually watch this movie this Halloween, as it's one of the few "scariest movies ever made" that I've yet to see, along with the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and A Nightmare on Elm Street). There isn't much to say about to say about this album, it's very relaxing, good for studying/reading good literature, with all the key changes, it's a good album for studying...umm......I don't know actually. I'm not a good enough musician, but I'm sure somewhere, if there are still classes trying to interpret what John Lennon was really talking about in I Am The Walrus, then there probably is a class studying and learning all the notes of Tubular Bells.
