Little wonder that he should choose, years later, to revisit his most famous work--though inevitably, this time the stakes were much higher. Good thing, then, that he took so few risks. Like its predecessor, the album unveils a series of musical tableaux, though this time without the slightest pretence of actual thematic development: it's less a single, unified piece, than a medley of pretty folk-rock instrumentals. The mood sits somewhere between foggy Celtic mysticism and pastoral elegy, occasionally pausing for a moment of unexpected light relief (the bizarre whimsy of \"Altered State\"). Unlike the original, however, it sustains its pleasures more or less evenly across the entire composition.\n--Andrew McGuire\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 745099061821\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745099061821\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40683144216760,"sku":"7N-0HZ9-LNFG","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/31urIab_PFL.jpg?v=1634132629","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/tubular-bells-2","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
