David Emm Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 5:36. Further evidence that Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" is a classical piece in rock band clothing. He wore himself to an exhausted nub over many months, doing all of the tracking alone during studio downtime. I see that as a haunting modern version of what the classical greats underwent. I heart pipe organ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvAe2miZIoo 3 Quote Absurdity, n.

Jim Alfredson Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Super cool. I loved that album as a kid and never knew it was used as the theme for the Exorcist until much much later. Ommadawn, too was great. Quote Keep it greazy! B3tles - Soul Jazz THEO - Prog Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old No7 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I'd play Toccata & Fugue In D Minor or the Phantom Of The Opera Fanfare whenever I'd gain access to a pipe organ -- never thought of doing that one though... That was neat. And I'll have to break out my Converse sneakers for my upcoming gig...
