First a link to his home page
and his wiki page
Mike is probably best known for his album Tubular Bells featuring Vivian Stanshall
I guess Tubular Bells was such a success that there’s a Tubular Bells II and III. I won’t be sampling from any of these. Instead I’ll be selecting from his shorter works.
Lets begin with Moonlight Shadow
Moonlight Shadow is from the album Crisis. This is the original and to my mind best version although there are lots of covers out there some of which are excellent.
To France
To France is from the album Discovery
On Horseback
On Horseback is from the album Ommadawn
Guilty
A live version of Guilty can be found on Music Wonderland
That’s it for Mike.
