LP Record Conventional wisdom, which in this case might be correct, holds that Bill Evans's career peaked on 25 June 1961, when two live recordings were made: 'Sunday at the Village Vanguard' and 'Waltz for Debby'. These were the final two documents of Evans's first and finest trio, featuring bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. In his two years with Evans, LaFaro opened up new possibilities for the jazz bass, playing in a harmonically idiosyncratic, melodically fluid style that was unparalleled at the time. He died ten days after this record was made, at the age of just 25.

LP Record With this album, Oldfield followed up his brilliant debut, "Tubular Bells", which has long since made its mark on music history since its release on 25.5.1973. Listening to the new album, the parallels and differences with the original "Tubular Bells" are immediately clear. The structure of the music is partly identical. The "Master of Ceremonies", the "Monster Roar", and the "Western Saloon" at the end are all present once again. The compositions more or less correspond to the 'spirit' of the original in tempo and timbre, but the melodies are completely new. As a result, "Tubular Bells II" feels very familiar on one hand, yet quite different on the other. Any concern that Mike Oldfield had simply created a plagiarism of his own work is impressively dispelled.
