Oldfield, Mike - Tubular Bells II
Oldfield, Mike - Tubular Bells II
NEW VINYL LP ON RHINO 2015
180 GRAM VINYL
Tubular Bells II (the first sequel to his original classic) climbed to the top of the chart in England. Tom Newman (who engineered the original) and Trevor Horn joined Oldfield as producers for the album, which includes the singles “Sentinel,” “Tattoo” and “The Bell.” Another sequel arrived in 1998 with Tubular Bells III. Oldfield returned in 1996 with an album that marked a dramatic stylistic departure. Voyager is a Celtic-themed album that’s filled mainly with traditional Scottish and Irish songs. To record the music, Oldfield used a mix of traditional, acoustic instruments as well as synthesizers.
Now Rhino are reissuing these first four albums from his Warner Bros. years on heavyweight 180 gram black vinyl, with Voyager and Tubular Bells III being made available on vinyl for the first time.
