When will you stop to relate Tubular Bells to hell , death , halloween and exorcism and other " bul... ? And now with trash music ? Please no !... Tubular Bells is Holy and inspired by the Good spirits ; don't touch it with your dirty hands ; especially since this shameful topic ( removed now , fortunately ! )about the presumed death of who you know ! Sorry Jameson ,but this was my anger of the day ! Back to top

Regarding recent comments like that of Tubular Tos above, I just wonder if it's time for a follow-up to the "Is Mike Oldfield geek culture" thread; "Does your local church approve of Mike Oldfield?" or "Is Mike Oldfield christian culture?". There's always some remark, comment (or lightshow) that is too negative, blasphemous or satanic for some users, which I find a little odd. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

moonchildhippy Group: Members Posts: 1807 Joined: Dec. 2004 Posted: Oct. 04 2007, 12:21 The only thing I found scary about that was the terribly New Age Chill Out album version of Tubular Bells.   I don't find anything scary, hellish , deathly or evil about Tubular Bells,  yes it has dark moments in there, but the dark is linked to the light and each is a part of life.  I'm sure we've all a dark side, when I say that it doesn't neccesarily mean we've done something bad or wrong.  Halloween or the ancient Pagan festival of Samhain Prononced So'win) was a time for remebering ancestors, it's also a time when the land sleeps to be reawakened again in the spring.There's nothing hellish or evil about the festival of Halloween.   www.paganfed.org/pagan-wheel.php -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

Poo version of TB. *Thumb down* I watched The Excorsist once, and it scared the crap outta me,but Tubular Bells, is an old friend from years ago. Yep TB is atmospheric whilst driving at night, but nowt scary about it   , Tubular Bells is only scary when it's some crappy New Age cover version   . -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

When I grew up I knew several kids from christian families (i.e. families actively going to church) who like Mike Oldfield's music. I don't see the connection myself, but maby it's because of the absence of typicall rock'n'roll subjects or themes. I myself feels that al music is spiritual in one way or another. If it connects with me, then it's spiritual. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: Oct. 07 2007, 19:11 Well, that's the bad side of splitting up your compositions in small pieces.

It's only a light hearted bit of fun. Not as if it's going to cause damage is it. I do feel though, Tubular Bells is a more 'pretty' piece of music. sort of celtic undertones. Don't know why I think that though. Saw a copy ot Tubular Bells for £6 today actually, bit of a shame that price. Back to top
