I bought this because the haunting sounds of Tubular Bells have always been on my Top 10 All-Time Favorites list. The CD opens with a modern update to that legendary theme, then covers a wealth of new ideas and directions. Sci-fi, techno themes mark the first few tracks; "The Bell" is a catchy, narrative, step-by-step adding cool sounds romp. "Tattoo" is a majestic march featuring the P.D. Scots Pipe Band, and the Celtic Bevy Band. The closer is the banjo-fueled "Moonshine". My only dislike is the track "Altered State"; to me, very disturbing.
Old school quality music

I have had Tubular Bells 2 on cassette for years and decided to move up to CD and boy am I glad I did. Not only are the tones rounder but the clarity is just phenomenal. Thank you.
Great Music!

Not the same as the original music from "The Exorcist" but better. I think what makes this album superior, is that the album is dividied into separate tracks, so that you can go and listen you your favorite parts without having to listen to the whole album.
