Tubular Bells is right in that tradition. Agreed with Mike in OR. How can you judge a piece unless you listen to the whole thing? The point is the repetition, spread over two album sides. It's supposed to overwhelm you through its rhythm. I imagine getting you to appreciate Phillip Glass is out of the question.
During recording of Tubular Bells, Mike Oldfield was supported by only a few guest musicians; he played piano, guitars, bass, organs, glockenspiel, mandolin, percussion and the eponymous tubular bells in a celebration of overdubs. Because of its stark tone and odd time signature, Side One has a surreal feel while builds up an unbelievable ...
Friedkin originally commissioned Lalo Schifrin to do the score, but didn't like the results and went for already-released material instead. "Tubular Bells" is only one of many pieces on the soundtrack -- there's lots of modern classical stuff by the likes of Webern and Penderecki. Matthew B., Dec 8, 2006. #3.

Newcastle under Lyme, UK. There was an interview with Mike Oldfield a while back where he stated that he insisted that the album was pressed on virgin vinyl and cut in a specific way (lower sound at the beginning so the bells at the end would have maximum impact). I honestly can't remember where I read this, in fact it may even have been in a ...
“Tubular Bells” is Mike Oldfield’s first studio album, released in 1973. This emblematic album is often considered a pioneering work of progressive music. This is an opportunity to compare the new mixes produced for the 50th anniversary (stereo, 5.1 and Dolby Atmos) with original and other mastering.
127.0.0.1:443. IIRC there may have been 2 SACD versions of Tubular Bells: A 2001 version from Virgin, that featured the 1970's Quad mix from the original quad tapes (not that means anything) - This SACD was a 4 channel only and had no 2 channel and no 5/5.1. A 2003 (?) verison that has a 2 Channel and a 5/5.1.
Kiel, Germany. The first one is the 2009 remix, done in 2009 from the original 1973 master tapes by Oldfield himself. The deluxe version also includes the original 1973 mix on CD 2. The second one is "Tubular Bells 2003", which was a complete new recording of the whole album, done by Oldfield for the then 30th anniversary.
