Hypnotic! This 1973 album launched Virgin Records and became a hit after its opening was used as the theme for the film The Exorcist. Also read: "Mike Oldfield's strange journey from Tubular Bells to London 2012": http://bit.ly/OldfieldBells.

Is this piece of music creepy because it was used in the intro to The Exorcist? Or is The Exorcist made creepier by the music? A #Jamoween chicken/egg conundrum for you there.

From now until November 1, the Day of the Dead, Soundtrack Sunday will be dedicated to the best of horror soundtracks...and what better score to start with than the theme from The Exorcist...Mike Oldfield's 'Tubular Bells'!?! Enjoy, and peace out...

I know everyone will think I'm a Mojo-reading twat for saying this, but I bought the 5.1 mix of Tubular Bells the other day and it sounds fabulous.
Why did I resist for so long?!

40 yrs ago today, Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" hit #1 in the UK. It's a long, beautiful slow burn of a piece, that deserves at last to be stripped of its horror-film associations. Sit back and enjoy!
