Now, I am a massive fan of electronic music. From obscure freaks like Autechre and Aphex Twin to Orbital syle techno, to Jean Michel Jarre atmospherics, I love it all.
But the lousy use of synthesizers on Tubular Bells2003 is pretty annoying. I mean, I'm fine with MO using synths in his music, but this was supposed to be a re-recording of the original, not a half-arsed synth/guitar version (ok, that's being much too harsh, but you get my point..) The synth flute is especially offensive, as is the percussive sounds and some pianos which are obviously synthesized.
Tubular Bells1 sounded raw and harsh and charming. The new one sounds like some synthey-new age thing. He could have at least prgrammed his own synth sounds, but I recognize all of his roland ones as the cheesy presets...
