And if so, should I be looking out for other TB references on Five Miles Out? I was just listening to this album again, very loudly, and... OMG it's soooooo awesome!!! *Ahem* Sorry, but sometimes I have to let the fangirl out. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Listen to the track from 00:09 to 00:14. It is very difficult, but try! -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top

Thanks for pointing it out, yanouch. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Almost exactly the same melodies with different arrangement can be heard at the beginning of 'Taurus 1' (from 1:12). You can hear this theme incorporated into the 1981 live version of 'Tubular Bells Part One' during the Introduction part as it really follows the same pattern as the famous repetitve piano theme. For similar similarities it's worth checking out the The Complete Mike Oldfield Reference Guide, the TB quote in 'Five Miles Out' can also be found there. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism.

I intend to pay close attention when I watch 'Montreux' again. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

I recall reading posts about people randomly hearing MO music when there was none playing, so who knows?? I don't eat Rice Krispies (think that's the same thing) and I prefer 2% milk, so testing it would be a bit of a bother. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Immediately after 'The Deep Deep Sound''s final line, "Here's a song to take with you", the first few bars of Tubular Bells is there in guitar and what sounds like a woodwind instrument.  It made me laugh when I first heard it; a nice 'in-joke' from Mr. Oldfield. -------------- "Our hope's with you..."
