I need to give "War of the Worlds" a shot. I have a live Moody Blues album on which Justin Hayward does a song from it, which was pretty cool. Tales of Mystery and Imagination is a terrific album. I have all of Mike Oldfield's early stuff, up to Amarok. I've never heard Tubular Bells 2 or 3 - I really should try it out sometime. Very interesting and diverse list you have!

I've owned "War of the Worlds" on just about every media form that they published it in. The media form I like the best is the SACD I have of it in 5.1 surround, it's simply fantastic. Anyone who likes classic rock operas will enjoy it.

As for Mike Oldfield, all of his stuff is good and he's milked the 'bells' for all it's worth but with each version it has gotten better and better. The final track can induce goosebumps and chills.

I'm privileged to have a copy of "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" in two different variations. The regular release, which has been enhanced and reworked with Orson Welles doing the narration, and the gold CD release, which is from the original recording of it (no narration or extra instruments to enhance it). Both are excellent.

You could say that I have VERY eclectic tastes in music.

You have great taste, mister!!!! =3 Seatbelts WINWINWIN.

Thank you. I love all of Yoko Kanno's music.
