Here's a crazy reference...So I'm watching Top Chef Texas last night, and I hear the IDENTICAL vocal lead at 2:27 in Tubular World as part of the show's theme song. Check out Top Chef's Intro song in the YouTube video "TC Season 9 Episode 3 part 1/3" @ 1:21 and tell me I'm not making this up.
with mike oldfield, EVERYONE is lead by marketing companies towards tubular bells I II and III, as a result, songs of distant earth is quite often overlooked, it is quite simply a gem of an album :)
close your eyes... listen to the music... you see... it's like a key that open the Time, the Space... everything become possible... just like a dream...
@OneInchDiving Oh! Thanks! Must be a newer one! I've never heard of it! I think the last one of his that I've got was something like, "Tubular Bells II", or "QE2", something from the late `80's, or early `90's.
@OneInchDiving It sounds like it'd be a REALLY nice album!! I'll have to see if I can dig up a copy!! Sounds like you might also like Solar Quest. Not the disco "acid" junk, the ambient stuff!! "Orgship" is "their" best album. "Sola Luna", is great, too. They're the only two I've heard so far. I just found out last night that there's at least 2 or 3 other albums I don't have yet.
