... Thanks to shrewd promotion both men, as well as the record, 'Tubular Bells', and their label, became hugely successful. So was there really any point in Oldfield, having fallen out with Branson, decamping to another record company and launching a second 'Tubular Bells' nearly two decades ... Read review

together a sequence of musical motifs--managed to
sell in excess of 16 million copies, effectively
kick-starting the Virgin Records empire and
bringing its creator, then just twenty years old,
a level of critical and commercial success he
would never achieve again. Little wonder that he
should choose, years later, to revisit his most
famous work--though inevitably, this time the
stakes were much higher. Good thing, then, that he
took so few risks. Like its predecessor, the album
unveils a series of musical tableaux, though this
time without the slightest pretence of actual
thematic development: it's less a single, unified
piece, than a medley of pretty folk-rock
instrumentals. The mood sits somewhere between
foggy Celtic mysticism and pastoral elegy,
occasionally pausing for a moment of unexpected
light relief (the bizarre whimsy of "Altered
State"). Unlike the original, however, it sustains
its pleasures more or less evenly across the
entire composition. --Andrew McGuire

Review of Tubular Bells Vol.2 - Mike Oldfield by JOHNV

Advantages: Excellent reworking of an old theme
Disadvantages: None

...of each, a 'Best of Tubular Bells' (2001, also 11.99 from Amazon) features a couple of extracts from it, a fair quantity of the original work, plus excerpts from live performances of same, and even a couple from the later (and inferior) 'Tubular Bells III'. Sometimes you can take recycling too far, though I suspect in this case Virgin Records are probably more to blame than the artist himself. ... Read review
