Mike Oldfield: Tubular Bells

25 May 1973 · 54 YEARS

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

The artist recorded nearly every part himself through a series of complex layers. The result became a central feature of the soundtrack for The Exorcist.

Minimalist composition and detailed studio work remain the focus here. The repetitive patterns generate a dense atmosphere that reflects the experimental nature of the early seventies.
