Avariety of instruments are combined to create an excitable multitude ofrhythms, tones, pitches, and harmonies that all fuse neatly into each other, resulting in an astounding plethora of music. Oldfield plays all the instrumentshimself, including such oddities as the Farfisa organ, the Lowrey organ, andthe flageolet. The familiar eerie opening, made famous by its use in TheExorcist, starts the album off slowly, as each instrument acoustically wrigglesits way into the current noise that is heard, until there is a grand unison ofeccentric sounds that wildly excites the ears. Throughout the album, the temposrange from soft to intense to utterly surprising, making for some excellentmusical culminations. Mandolins and Spanish guitars are joined by grindingorgans and keyboards, while oddball bells and cranking noises resound in thedistance. In the middle of the album, guest Vivian Stanshall announces eachinstrument seconds before it is heard, ending with the ominous sounding tubularbells, a truly powerful and dominating instrument. The most interesting andoverwhelming aspect of this album is the fact that so many sounds are conjuredup yet none go unnoticed, allowing the listener a gradual submergence into eachunique portion of the music. Tubular Bells isa divine excursion into the realm of new age music.
