COP级别:★★★★☆

—  Unlike the previous sequels to “Tubular Bells”, such as “Tubular Bells 2” and “The Millennium Bell”, this is a straight reworking of the original album. Oldfield has apparently always been conscious of what he considered to be the shortcomings performance and production wise, of the original album. He therefore returned to the studio and remade the album in its entirety. The result is what sounds like "A tribute to Tubular Bells”. The original album may well have had its flaws, but in many ways, that was part of its appeal. Listening to “2003”, it is difficult to avoid constantly comparing this new recording with the one we are all so familiar with. Yes, the performance on “2003” is impeccable, the sound is crystal clear, and the music of course is excellent. I think however, I will be sticking with the recording I already know and love, warts and all. (John Cleese is an excellent master of ceremonies.)

--  不是很喜欢之前如Tubular Bells1,2,The Millennium Bell那样直接在原著上重作的曲子.Oldfield显然知道并考虑到原著的缺点和优点,因此他在自己的工作室里不断重复的修改自己的作品.这在"A tribute to Tubular Bells"中得以体现,原著也许有些瑕疵,虽然这样,它仍有吸引力.听着2003,我难免于他的系列做比较.没错,2003的演奏是很完美的,乐曲是如此的清晰,演绎出来真是绝了!我认为无论怎样,我都会一如既往,毫不保留的支持和热爱它!
