I have a theory that the Tubular Bells albums represent the Hindu chakras, in which case there should ultimately be 7 Tubular Bells albums (or even more, if the minor chakras, such as Hrit, are included). In the first Tubular Bells album we hear the bass guitar writhing of Kundalini, which you would expect to be associated with the Root Chakra (number 1); and Tubular Bells 3 has all the power and strength associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra. Svadhishthana, the Sacral Chakra, is number 2 and is represented by a six-petalled flower. It is associated with water (cf the Venetian Effect), emotion, and sexual desire. Clearly the person who posted the video below of "The Bell" was thinking along these lines, as we see a six-sided box that ultimately explodes with what James Joyce might call "phallopyrotechnics"

Anyway, the above is just a theory; but my prediction is that when TB4 comes out, it will be about the Heart Chakra, that is, love.
