Yeah, great.

One of the only decent sounding polyphonic ring tones you can get too. If you have a phone to support download it. Sounds best on the sharp's

Jus think, this was an experimental first release on brand new record label by an young unknown chancer called Richard Branson. And the name of the label? Virgin. It'll never get off the ground LOL

I struggle with Tubular Bells, i have to admit. It starts well, and the two "themes" are great, but there's a load of mushy, hippy stuff in between, which does nothing for me. A bit like some of the earlier Jean Michelle Jarre albums.
