What do you think it would be like? -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

Joking aside: I think Mike conceived Tubular Bells as an unitarian work. The fact that he splitted it into Part One and Part Two was due more to the limitations of vinyl than to how he saw TB to be. IMHO, if CDs existed in 1973, there'd never have been a TB Part One and a Part Two, but just Tubular Bells. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
