Congratulations to the 4,500 or so that made it all the way to the end!

[Dyslexica]

Love this album. I've wondered for years... What are the lyrics? When I tried to play the album backwards to try and decode it, it screwed up my needle. Other than that, This is MY kind of music. Total instrumental with a LOT of heart and soul poured into it.

[MiltonMONOMethMorbid]

that has to be the most rewarding ending to a song ever

[rexxcarz]

I have the vinyl record. Played it to death in the 70s when it came out. Haven't heard this in years. Loved both sides of the record. I can't imagine that my record is even playable - I've worn the grooves right out!

[biggeorge77]

Such a great recording and it doesn't contain the complete Sailor's Hornpipe.

Where did this recording come from originally? Was it vinyl or a CD?

[Tubularism1]

@Dyslexica Are you referring to the Caveman lyrics? No backwards meaning, but here is my interpretation. Flua Wach Dach Wa No Wow. Fluo Wach Dach Wadow. Repeat. lol 

[cogidubnus1953]

awesome hornpipe...

[Mundaraing139]

The ending is quite amazing, who could not like that !!!

[KaseyBrownFitness]

Mike Oldfield goes to Kentucky Fried Chicken at 7:25.

[MitjaShi]

I love the ending!

[KeithHarbaugh]

try GONG and ELOY and FLOYD and YES, and...damn...all of them. be true to the energy of Oneness.

[KeithHarbaugh]

expand yourself through mY chaNNel. i only wish to share the musical complexities and true spirituality they impose!

[KeithHarbaugh]

@ForeverYoung58 a scared soul whose inner voice hasnt developed a craving for true prog! he was either too afraid, or hasnt come to understand, the idea of pure inner spirituality through complex musics.

[ForeverYoung58]

Who is the cretin that "disliked" this? Tubular Bells is a masterpiece.

[ricronin]

Brilliant work. Just bloody Brilliant!!!!!

[Coneman3]

It's not hard to detect the lonely, torment of Mike when he wrote this. It sounds very stark and lost at times. A very primal scream, but unlike other music emanating from tortured souls, this is very beautiful and uplifting. The ability to turn pain into beauty is a great gift.

[vanishy0urself]

@fraroc and those grunts sound far better than most growls out there, LOL!

OK, so if this is the last part, I can say my opinion now, I believe, even before it ends.

When this record kinda "flatlines" it's still pretty good.

When it's at its best, it's FREAKING AMAZING. Basically, you can't go wrong with this.

[fraroc]

@Dyslexica The only vocal part is some death metal grunts around 00:30 the rest is instrumental genius!

[Redpy5]

I love the seemingly random "Sailor's Hornpipe."

[randolphmarshall]
