In my opinion Clear Light is one of the best tracks I have heard, by anyone. The gently guitar that starts at 1:49 is simply the most amazing sound (and it looks good on the DVD!), with a very nice backing, and the Bells!

My favourite bit, however, starts with the piano at 3:15.the guitars at 4:27 are amazing, and in perfect duet with the acoustic guitar. This, for me, is the most emotional mike oldfield piece, and i really get lost in the music. Anyone else feel this way?

I agree,have you heard the Clear Light demo?,that is also great.
But i think Tubular Bells 2 as a whole is just amazing,it was the album that really turned me onto Mike in the first place almost 10 years ago,and i keep going back to it again and again,it is so appealing to me,there is so much going on in the album,somtimes it is difficult to remember that it was composed and performed by one man!!!!!!!.But what a man!!!.

Hey! I just realised that it is the 10th aniversary of Tubular Bells II. Isn't that cool?

Tubular Bells II was the album that really got me into Mike Oldfield as well. Actually, it was the TB II/III DVD.

I don't have the CD yet, but I have the Clear Light MIDI thing, Also If you go to buy.com and amazon.com type in Tubular Bells II and find Clear Light and do the "Real Audio" Version of It, The Guitar Part there is My Favorite! One of the Best!


EDIT - Today, 6/26 I got TBII, I love the Guitar bit at 1:33

CLEAR LIGHT is really good track - kind of a in between of SENTINEL and BLUE SALOON - and it really makes a more interesting atmosphere of whole album
