Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1870 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 16 2002, 07:58 I don't remember having read he says Tubular Bells is his best work. These days, even with the release of the new album Tres Lunas (usually you say and think your best work is your last work), he says his best work is Millennium Bells, mainly becasue of the Berlin concert. And actually he even said it would be his best work before releasing it. Personnally I don't understand him on this point, I dont think it's his best work and his best concert at all. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Aug. 16 2002, 11:12 I do remember him saying that Tubular Bells was his best work - it was in one of the interviews done at around the time of The Best Of Tubular Bells. He said that it was his best work and that he knows that he'll never do any better, or words to that effect. I think he said that The Millennium Bell was the pinnacle of his achievements, or something like that, which could mean several things... My question would be, whether he really thinks that Tubular Bells is his best work, or whether it's just his favourite. Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Aug. 17 2002, 02:44 There is a clear distance between 'the best' and 'my favourite'. For example, Tubular Bells III is my favourite album of his, but in terms of 'the best' I would have to say Amarok. I also agree that lots of people do seem to be taking the piss out of him for nothing other than having an opinion. If he thinks Tubular Bells is his best work then that's fine; we all don't have to agree with him (I don't). -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top
