Oldfield, Mike – Tubular Bells III (2015 Reissue on 180g Vinyl)

Tubular Bells III is the 18th album by Mike Oldfield, first released in 1998. A sequel to Oldfield's 1973 Tubular Bells and his 1992 Tubular Bells II albums, it was released on the 25th anniversary of the first Tubular Bells album.

Oldfield created the album while living in Ibiza and has said the inspiration for some of its electronic elements came from the styles of music played at the island's bars and clubs. Unlike Tubular Bells II, Tubular Bells III does not follow the pattern of the two pieces from the original, but instead references some of the music from that album. For example, The Source of Secrets references the Introduction section of the original album, and Far Above the Clouds references the Finale section of Tubular Bells (Part One).
