Never did the powered para-glider, but I had a coworker who owned one and loved flying it.

only heard "Tubular Bells", which somehow reminds me of Catholic priests. Didn't know of Ommadawn. Thanks.arthwollipot wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 12:02 am I may be old, but how good is Ommadawn?

I've never seen The Exorcist and have no intention to ever see it, didn't know that Tubular Bells was used in the soundtrack of that movie until years after I had been listening to it, and the opening has never sounded scary or ominous to me. I was rather surprised when it started topping the lists of spooky movie soundtracks.

(surprised he wasn't more famous. Looks intense.)
Always thought he said "thus, tubular bells".The track closes with a segment featuring Vivian Stanshall, formerly of the comedic rock group Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, introducing each instrument being played one by one. The idea originated when the band were due to use the Manor after Oldfield, and had arrived while he was still recording. Oldfield had liked the way Stanshall introduced the instruments one at a time on the Bonzos' song "The Intro and the Outro" on Gorilla (1967), and told Newman that he would like Stanshall to do the same. Newman agreed, but had to persuade the shy Oldfield to ask Stanshall if he would carry out the request. Stanshall readily agreed to the idea and is credited on the liner notes as "Master of Ceremonies", but Newman recalled that the job proved to be more difficult than anticipated, as Stanshall forgot the names of the instruments and introduced them at the wrong points. Oldfield wrote a list of the instruments in order, indicating where Stanshall should introduce them.The way in which Stanshall said "plus... tubular bells" inspired Oldfield to use it as the album's title.

He was also Virgin Records' first sign. Richard Branson owes his success to him.President Bush wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 12:22 amGreat get-high album for a high school senior smoking pot, it had just come out, guess I was seventeen. Read that Oldfield was only nineteen when he recorded it.
Sounds like Motown but I don't think so.stanky wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 11:26 pm the title of this song caught my eye:

it's the "again" that does it for me.
not sure if this is fake, though.
