A Good Idea Good Bad

"When I first heard that Mike Oldfield was planning to re-record the original Tubular Bells with updated technology, I thought that was a wonderful idea. But I did not take into account the measure of disrespect the composer must now feel for his once revered composition. Rather than making this a stronger recording than the original, it seems deliberately weak and watered down. Also, the announcing of the instruments and Cave Man lyrics are unbelievably contrived. You just want to say to him, Mike, are you really taking this thing seriously. And he seems to say back, I can't believe you ever took it seriously.If you pretend that this is PDQ Bach stealing themes from Mike Oldfield it might just be funny. But otherwise it's just plain painful to listen to.If you've never heard the original and are considering buying this one first, please reconsider. This parody may poison your appreciation of what was originally one of the most innovative and emotionally stirring classical rock compositions of the early 70's."
