If you like electronic music and you've never heard of Mike Oldfield or Tubular Bells then shame on you!! It was Virgin Records' first ever release in 1973, and you will probably know it from providing the theme music to The Exorcist.
I've reworked the track into a dance-floor friendly version using Ableton Live 8, Reason, Sylenth, Omnisphere, Albino and Soundforge. I also made a little video detailing how I put the track together here:
You can download the track as a 320kbps MP3 for free from my website:
i like that airy guitar sample, real beautiful. How did you get it to sound like that?
Sounds like the kick needs more low end, it just doesnt sound powerful enough and im listening to this track on headphones but the kick has a click that I think is a bit too much. Otherwise well done!

Thanks! I can't totally remember how I did that guitar sound. I know it was an Omnisphere patch though. I think it was just careful use of velocity and pitch bend.
Fair cop on the kick, I think it sounds OK, but I do take your point!
Thanks again :)

I always had a mind to take this on!
Good attempt. To be critical I'd say you might inject a lot more grove and tension. Starting with the main bell famous riff, it could be more ecsoteric and unusual in the vein of the original.
Anyway good to see somehting a bit different cheers.

I hear what you're saying. I could probably have been more adventurous with the main riff :) Thanks for giving it a listen though.
