Tubular Bells III, released in 1998, is the eighteenth album by English Progressive Rock multi-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield. A sequel to his 1992 album Tubular Bells II, the album stands as the third and final mainline entry in the Tubular Bells series (discounting the 1999 interquel The Millennium Bell, the 2003 re-recording of the first Tubular Bells, and the Remix Album Tubular Beats). Unlike II, which was for all intents and purposes a loose remake of the first entry in the series, III is far different in structure, tone, and composition, being far more electronically-oriented and only carrying over the most basic musical motifs from the original Tubular Bells. Interestingly, the album also acts as a nod back to Oldfield's post-Incantations, pre-Tubular Bells II output, featuring the radio-friendly "Man in the Rain" as an interlude for what is very much the most experimental entry in the Tubular Bells franchise.Released just shortly after the 25th anniversary of the original Tubular Bells, the album's structure and tone was heavily inspired by the club scene in Ibiza, where the album was recorded, and appropriately makes prominent use of acid house and Drum and Bass elements. The album also features a much greater amount of guest stars than before, including Amar, Cara Dillon, and Clodagh Simonds. Because of this, it stands as a major outlier compared to the orchestral-inspired direction of the first two Tubular Bells albums to the point where one would not be able to tell it was part of the series in passing. Consequently, it ended up being the least successful of the main trilogy, peaking at only No. 4 on the UK Albums chart compared to the chart-topping performances of its predecessors. Despite this, it still went quadruple-platinum in Spain and gold in the UK.Tubular Bells III was supported by two singles: "Man in the Rain" and "Far Above the Clouds".Tracklist: "The Source of Secrets" (5:35) "The Watchful Eye" (2:09) "Jewel in the Crown" (5:45) "Outcast" (3:49) "Serpent Dream" (2:53) "The Inner Child" (4:41) "Man in the Rain" (4:03) "The Top of the Morning" (4:26) "Moonwatch" (4:25) "Secrets" (3:20) "Far Above the Clouds" (5:30)"You're no loser, there's still time to ride that trope" | |
