Album Reviews
This album's break came with the use of its theme on the soundtrack for The Exorcist. "Tubular Bells" has since gone on to become a hit single, helping to change a popular album into a smash. Oldfield has yet to tour the United States, but his instrumental one-man show (he plays everything through overdubbing) has caught on as a clever novelty it's progressive program rock. Light, rather showy and cute in places, it probably makes pleasant background music for a dinner or conversation. (RS 162)
