    Tubular Bells…

    Is my PM´s ringtone, but not in a stylish way; it´s one of those nasty bleepy self programmed versions.

    I actually quite like Mike Oldfield’s weird and wacky album. I occasionally listen to it while training on my rowing machine; the trance-like weirdness of it all distracts me from the agony that a Concept2 rowing machine can inflict on the body.

      Try TB II. Thats even stranger, but in a very good way.

          Oldfield got shafted by the bearded one on that record deal. Branson made Virgin off the back of that album.

            I love Mike Oldfield and I love TB I & II

            But my favourite is Ommadawn. I don't really listen to it in the summer. It's an album that needs wind and cold and kicking dry leaves on the ground and flurries of snow and scarves and...

              Ommadawn gets my vote too, and I somehow missed TB II.

                I was most disappointed when the cd of Hergest Ridge ( I think) was released without the drunken sea shanties....
