Well, Tubular Bells may or may not be ethereal but it is definitely not ephemeral. From 1973, it is a key part of the soundtrack of its decade. Somewhere I may still have my copy on cassette.
Tomorrow, another and very different milestone album.

Advent 16
I remember reading the NME, cheap newsprint covering my fingers, and being struck by a review of one of Mike Oldfield's later albums in terms that have always stayed with me. It was something along the lines of: 'Some people hear the name Mike Oldfield and utter "genius". Others of us think it all smacks of fairies at the bottom of the garden."
Well, Tubular Bells may or may not be ethereal but it is definitely not ephemeral. From 1973, it is a key part of the soundtrack of its decade. Somewhere I may still have my copy on cassette.
Tomorrow, another and very different milestone album.
