''Tubular Bells II'' is the 15th album by Mike Oldfield, released in 1992. The album — the first for his new record label, Warner Bros., following an acrimonious departure from Virgin after twenty years — was a sequel to Oldfield's 1973 ''Tubular Bells''. Another sequel followed in 1998. The album charted at number 1 in the UK as did its precursor. It is Oldfield's third number one album (after ''Tubular Bells'' and ''Hergest Ridge'') and, as of 2014, his last number one album to date. ==Album development== Virgin Records had been pushing Oldfield to create a sequel to ''Tubular Bells'' for many years prior to his departure from the label, but Oldfield was hesitant to do so, although his penultimate album for the label, ''Amarok'', was in several respects a conceptual sequel to his 1975 album ''Ommadawn''. For ''Tubular Bells II'' Oldfield enlisted the help of Tom Newman, who had helped produce the original, as well as established producer Trevor Horn (known for his work with The Buggles, Yes and Art of Noise). "Early Stages" which is an early version of what would become "Sentinel" was included as a B-side to the single version of "Sentinel". "Early Stages" has a somewhat darker mood and is from the pre-Trevor Horn development of the album, possibly showing the kind of influence that Horn had. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tubular Bells II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
