I'd call Tubular Bells electronic, there's a lot of synths in it anyway. Or am I wrong?

It's not cause it's electronic that it's dance music I think they mean

i think a lot of early stuff wasn't 100% dance oriented anyway.. it was much more of an experimental thing back then.

Mike Oldfield uses some synthesizers, yes, but that doesn't make it EM.
I know alot of other groups, including Rock that use synths, they're still not EM...

the music is based on pads, synths and samples as well as using instruments. that makes it electronic music in my books

Ok, I guess you could. So, this could be called one of the earliest forms of EM?
It's hard for me to call Oldfield EM, I've liked him since very little and never thought of him as an EM musician

Oops, I read the post wrong then. I thought he was talking about like real EDM tracks that have stood out from other. Like real songs that get you in a "trance".

Apologies

Unfortunately for you, those tracks are neither.

Have you even heard the tracks? There isn't a single synth in either of the original Tubular Bells sides. Tubular Bells 3 was quite synthy from what I remember of hearing it 5 years ago, but not the original. There's a list of instruments used on the back of the album, and no synths are used.
