Guitars, pianos, synths, etc. I must say though, those bells sound the best out of any of them Tubular Bells albums. -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect. Back to top

Anyway, here's what I remember having found there. The bells were a real set of TB's (two octaves) by Premier, put through a Kurzweil K2000 sampler to enhance their already very prominent echo; most of the analogue synth parts were played on the Clavia Nord Lead; the flamenco guitars in Serpent Dream are by Ramirez (a well-known Spanish guitar maker) and, believe it or not, the drum track for Man In The Rain was sampled directly from Moonlight Shadow ...all Mike did was playing a new tune OVER IT!!! [Well...not very new...he wrote it right after MS hit the charts...!! ] -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
