... Tubular Bells copy has become worse for wear ...
Don't knock him too hard, the guy is a card-carrying Oldfieldolyte,
http://tmr-web.co.uk/robreedsancturay/Blank.htmlhearing Tubular Bells was pivotal for him as a young Welshman and this is a labor of love and reverence for Oldfield's early works (I read an interview of his in PROG Magazine, he basically took a sabbatical from his other bands and music to create this). With hundreds of bands emulating the sounds of say Jimi Hendrix, Led Zep, Nirvana and what have you, I think it's ok if one guy takes Oldfield as an inspiration and tributes him. And he does have that "violin-guitar"-tone of his idol down pat. Love the vid at 1.01, he's not sour-faced about what he does. But he did get MO's original producer to mix/produce it.
