Tubular Bells est le premier album du compositeur et musicien britannique Mike Oldfield. Cet album presque entièrement instrumental est une des plus grosses ventes des années 1970 au Royaume-Uni et le succès fondateur de l'empire Virgin. L'ouverture au piano est restée mondialement célèbre pour être le thème caractéristique du film L'Exorciste.

Tubular Bells II is the fifteenth studio album by English guitarist and songwriter Mike Oldfield. It was released on 31 August 1992 by Warner Music UK and is the successor to his debut album Tubular Bells (1973). It was Oldfield's first album for Warner after having worked with Virgin Records for twenty years. Like its predecessor, Tubular Bells II charted at number 1 in the UK Albums Chart and spun off a top 10 single, "Sentinel".

With Mike Oldfield clearly beginning his shift away from ambitious multi-instrumental epics into more pop-inflected territory, what better time could there have been for his label to remind listeners that he'd always had an eye for the three-minute single? True, nothing here is as overt as "Family Man," the hit that he and his band wrote for Hall & Oates, but still a cover of ABBA's "Arrival" swiftly followed by such stirring delights as "Portsmouth," "In Dulci Jubilo," "On Horseback," "The Sailor's Hornpipe," and a pulsating live take of the disco hit "Guilty" depict a musician who was a far cry from the super-serious prodigy that the media still preferred to view him as.

There are very few experiences that can be compared to reading Arthur C. Clarke's novel of the same name while listening to this album... After that, whenever you hear a track of this album your mind floods with images from the book. And when you read a passage from the book, the music pops up in your head... Simply perfect.
