The amazing thing is, Mike Oldfield was one of the first to use a 32 track recording system and recorded every instrument himself as he layed down track after track after track.... The full original piece is absolutely awesome!!!
Another amazing song by Mike Oldfield 'Five Miles Out' it's an amazing song about a pilot having troubles within sight of the airport! My son did a school project on this song in 2018. The teacher was blown away that he didn't chose something more modern. My kids replied, "Too much repetition, these days." Yep, my words, leaving his mouth 🤣🤣🤣
I’m sure you know the song was born out of Mike and bands experience in the aircraft (as painted on the album cover) that got into difficulty when flying between tour dates. Was a close call apparently.
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 as below The song (and the music video) has an unusually complex structure for its length, and is mainly inspired by a near tragic airplane flight Oldfield was a passenger on, in which an inexperienced pilot flew a small craft directly into a violent storm. Having acquired a pilot licence afterwards, Oldfield here, among other things, makes an extensive use of air travel vocabulary to portray exchanges between a pilot in distress being caught in a storm, and a traffic controller
43 years ago, when I studied music in Oldenburg, I bought the piano score of "Tubular Bells" and decided to found an orchestra with 40 musicians to play this tune, so I spent 2 month of arrange this and then we could perform the wonderful amazing music of Mike Oldfield, 3 times in this year 1977, with a huge choir at the end and of course,... Tubular Bells. It was funny for our professors, because they never heard this, but wonderful for us. And the girl , which I admired, said after the concert to me: "Well, you didn't do anything"... yes , I didn't played an instrument -I was the conductor.. :-)
@@mogwaifan7094 you gotta be kidding. We always get the girl. You know he got the girl! All his buddies to this day tease him by calling her Remember Tubular Belle? She was Beautiful.! LOL! Great Story. TY. Even Better Song!
The first time I ever heard this was when the movie "The Exorcist" came out. I was in my 20's. It scared the crap out of me. Since then neither me nor my wife can listen to it. And we're 70 now.
Hahaha! I'm a little bit younger than you Victor. I was around 15 or 16 here in Australia when the movie came out. Being a horror movie fan, I had to wait until I turned 18 to see it (R certificate). My beautiful Mum didn't want me to see it, bless her. But this piece of music scared the crap out of me !
One piece of an evening celebrating "Movie music of the 1970s" on Friday Night is Music Night narrated by Mark Kermode .... I WAS THERE and it was INCREDIBLE!
You can get it on CD so MP3 shouldn't be too hard. My father has a copy, have you tried? Or are you wanting the full orchestra to play it for us? Check out Mike Oldfield's channel here or his website.
despite the liberty taken with the speed and orchestration, it is great to hear the piece this way and a reminder of how great a composition it really is...
Auch wenn Ihr den Brexit so dringend wollt...ich liebe Euch Engländer! Und eine gute Musik auf das beste Orchester der Welt zu übertragen, ist Euch hier gelungen!!!
Not sure what happened at 2:38. Sounds very muddled for about 12 or so seconds - plus the bass player in general - and then mostly goes to pot from there. To think it could've been a beautiful piece, because it really was nice till 2:38 (save the bass playing).
For a for such a lovely piece that's been on RUclips for 6 years there are surprisingly few comments,though over 390,000 views as of today. I was trying to pin down the meter - I think it's 7/4 but sometimes it fooled me and seemed to be 8 beats to the measure. Shaded of Rimsky-Korsakov's odd meters? (Like 11/4 in "Pictures" and 13/4 for one movement of The Snow Maiden)
draco bane Apparently writing and performing the album nearly sent the poor man mad, and of course the great Virgin, Richard Branson genius millionaire almost turned it down but was eventually persuaded to take it, wasn't that fortunate for him.
@@OstrogothRome Nigel Kennedy was asked, "who works the hardest in the orchestra?", and he told a story of how the Soloist went off sick and he was picked as his stand in, after two or three weeks the Soloist returned to work and Nigel returned to the Violin pit, and the guy he sits next to looked up and snapped, "Where the bloody hell have you been!?".
The conductor did a shocking job. Listen to the original then listen to this travesty. The piece did not start at the beginning and the sections were all playing over each other.
This is terrible IMO. The bass playing is stilted, from about 2:30 they're out of sync for large portions, and the main riff simply doesn't sit well on the strings. Always sounds scratchy and screechy, as it did on the original Orchestral Tubular Bells.
Unfortunately the Exorcist destroyed the magic of Tubular Bells which was a wonderful composition that stimulated the imagination. Many tacks have fallen to the commercialisation machine and lost their appeal. Tubular Bells being one of them. Never let your kids watch that horrible movie but allow them to imagine their own world in Mike Oldfield's wonderful composition.

It’s always been a beautiful track. From a wonderful album. So long ago.
Thank - you . ( 2023 / May / 18 )

Hopefully you were cured of watching cheap crap movies. Oldfield's work, on the other hand will survive.
If you have the Tubular Bells album, you appreciate great music more than many.

Beautiful.

Masterpiece defined.
Amazing !
Did the BBC concert orchestra play & record the whole piece for us to listen too in hindsight ?
360 view was a surprise !
Estupendo gracias
This is a great recording!
You have to think that this tunes were composed by a guy not even 20 years old. Just wow!!!
oh how i would have liked to hear the whole thing

très belle gestuelle !
Wow! An orchestral arrangement of Tubular Bells that I actually like!
The original orchestration by David Bedford is by far the best, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere!
the best
The music begins in 1:09.
flavio chab THANK YOU lol...
I don't use the word "hero" very often but...
Tubular Bells are not 'childish', btw. -It is the music that create dreams. Good ones. The kind that drives the world forward.
360 degree view..?
What?
This kind of thing exists on youtube?
Of course.
Thanks for mentioning that. Didn't notice it at until I saw your comment.
@@RodericSpode lol
Fantastique,une merveille orchestrale,

No electronic mixing I think is what caused this; plus too high of volume on low base instruments in some places.
Nice bass!
Recorded at Watford Colosseum
Just the intro but pretty good.
The scariest movie Ever!
Who are watching in 2019 say hi!
Daniel Almeida brilliant film, only scary at the age of 12. Somewhat older than that I can appreciate it more.

I think you can either count it as alternating bars of 7/4 and 8/4 or count it as 15/4.
The first album on vinyl I ever bought.
Nice version - just a little fast.....
Try changing to a more pleasing slower Playback speed 0.75x in the drop down menu in the top right corner! Cheers!
@@marceldee1163 Thanks!
And launched Richard Branson as well!
Is this the one with Brian Blessed announcing the instruments?
Régalez vous !! Pour bien commencer la semaine 🙉🙊🙈pilou pilou
Nice
Великолепно❤
Yo first 360 camera
More should be filmed using a 360 camera.
Really good.
I liked Lalo Shifrin's "Amityville Horror" 1979 and "Pet Sematary" 1989
Lalo Schiffrin also did the music for Dirty Harry and Enter The Dragon
I remember when this first came, still have Oldfields album. thought It a work of art back then...
And now?
@@lessevdoolbretsim still is...

Sounds good. I agree.

Apparently writing and performing the album nearly sent the poor man mad, and of course the great Virgin, Richard Branson genius millionaire almost turned it down but was eventually persuaded to take it, wasn't that fortunate for him.
Reminiscent of L's theme in Death note?
i was thinking "The Exorcist"!

Its a pain for musicians.

But WHERE is the FANTASTIC CLIMAX of this piece????
Nicely done, but it's tubular bells without the bells.
Exorcist flashbacks!! :0
👌👍👍👍👍👍😘👍😘😀
👍👍👍
QUITE GOOD but what about the rest of it ?
Too long. Nobody had time to sit through the entire song.
did they play too fast?
Try changing to a more pleasing slower Playback speed 0.75x in the drop down menu in the top right corner! Cheers!
no, this was slowed down for The Exorcist. The original version was faster.
Eyes wide Shut !
Good choice, half the orchestra sitting doing bugger all :).
Bugger

It's such a shame that I know the original so well - this is terrible. Sack the Bass guitar!
