Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells III

180g Vinyl Reissue Reflects Moods of the Mediterranean Island of Ibiza! Direct Metal Master!

Tubular Bells III is the 18th album by Mike Oldfield, released in 1998 by Warner Bros. Records. A sequel to Oldfield's 1973 Tubular Bells and his 1992 Tubular Bells II albums, it was released on the 25th anniversary of the first Tubular Bells album.

Oldfield created the album while living in Ibiza, and has said the inspiration for some of its electronic elements came from the styles of music played at the island's bars and clubs. Unlike Oldfield's two prior Tubular Bells albums, Tubular Bells III does not follow the pattern of pieces from the original two parts, but instead references some of the music from the albums in the series.

"The production methods are a bit more polished and the tone is more serious, but the music remains dreamy..." -John Bush, allmusic.com
