Greetings (from a newbie) 
Wanted to post about an effort I completed recently, Â "Tubular Bells Finale".
My version is rather ethereal in places, more synthetic, but pleasingly subtle in some ways before the announcements hit, I think. There are several other differences from the original (matching the original perfection seemed pointless, as it has already been done more than once, so perfectly, by the master author).
I ended up with 7 instrument intervals, where the original had 9 (no mandolin and double speed guitars) , and my version does a slow fadeout instead of the nice guitar ending of the original. My guitar playing brother wasn't keen on learning that last flourish, so it was either me and VST, or opt out for the time being. I may add something for any version 2.
My friend from the UK, Andy Pritchard, kindly did the announces (beginning 2:05), which are:
Grand Piano
Organ
Electric Glockenspiel
Bass With Acoustic Guitar
Astral Piano, With Steel Guitar
Plucked Electric Strings
Plus…Tubular Bells!

There is also an "Aftermath" piece I did as a quickie, from the left over energy of the long slog. It's a 140 BPM fun thing. The bells kick in after 0:50.

Hope something in either is enjoyable.
