I really like Tubular Bells, but Larks takes my vote.

the second part is a bit disjointed compared to the first part which flows much better. However to Oldfields credit it is completely different and does have some beautiful moments. Maybe it would have been better to have left in the version of Sailor's Hornpipe with Viv Stanshall that's on 'Boxed' although I think it was not Oldfield's decision.

LTIA.
TB is a 'clever' album, but it's not the best from Oldfield IMO, and I've heard it enough. |

Actually, I do love just about half of the second side... it's got some moments that even surpass the first side... yet, once it gets to The Caveman I just can't enjoy it as much anymore. Too bad the music is working on a seemingly magnificent build-up... just to end up doing The Caveman. |

Love both equally, but for very different reasons. Complete an utter dead heat for me.

no, lots of respect but to me it ITCOCK is incredible, top 20 all time album for me and nothing else comes close. I do enjoy lots of the next 3 albums and a couple of mellower tracks on Larks. But I'm a big Oldfield fan.

yes, the guitars sounding like bagpipes is wonderful There is a live version of TB 2 on "Exposed" that includes perhaps Oldfield's best extended lead solo just before Sailor's Hornpipe. It's brilliant and obviously nothing like the more ambient (and quite delightful) section on the studio version

Yep that Exposed version is superb especially with Pierre Moerlen's fluid percussion/ drumming work adding so much.

I guess I need to get some more live Oldfield. As far as I understand, he liked to change things a good bit on his live shows. |
