Our Take

The long-awaited return of the Tubular Bells saga is finally here, and Mike Oldfield does not disappoint with his latest installment, Tubular Bells III. Oldfield brings his signature blend of progressive rock and new age vibes to the forefront once again, creating a sonic landscape that is both familiar and fresh.

The haunting vocals of Amar make a welcome return, adding an ethereal quality to tracks like "Jewel in the Crown" and "Outcast".

But don't be fooled into thinking this is just a nostalgia trip - Oldfield infuses Tubular Bells III with a modern edge, experimenting with electronic elements and contemporary production techniques to keep things interesting. Tracks like "The Inner Child" and "Far Above the Clouds" showcase Oldfield's willingness to push boundaries and explore new sonic territory.

Overall, Tubular Bells III is a triumphant return for Mike Oldfield, proving that he still has plenty of tricks up his sleeve after all these years. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the Tubular Bells series or a newcomer to Oldfield's music, this album is sure to delight and surprise in equal measure.
