How come this guy isn't talked about more often among guitarists. he's not a superfast shredder but his solos is something special. 3:36 into this clip is some of the most beautiful soloing iv'e ev
er heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huRvdtTh2bA |

Yeah, he's f'n great!
But he only ever had one 'hit' ... it was the theme from a movie and it wasn't guitar focused, the Exorcist. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

He's more known over here in more 'Folk Music' terms. As to why he's not mentioned more? I have no idea, he's an amazingly talented multi-instrumentalist!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CCf7gvmDEU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCvz7uflMIU Then there was 'Incantations' a 4 part LP that was accompanied by a hugely successful Tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0qrRmiFRWI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMhCb-FPZF4 He's also written for Films and TV. All in all he's had 25 singles in the Charts and 30 LP's! This is a list of his Studio LPs:- Tubular Bells (1973) Hergest Ridge (1974) Ommadawn (1975) Incantations (1978) Platinum (1979) QE2 (1980) Five Miles Out (1982) Crises (1983) Discovery (1984) The Killing Fields (1984) Islands (1987) Earth Moving (1989) Amarok (1990) Heaven's Open (1991) Tubular Bells II (1992) The Songs of Distant Earth (1994) Voyager (1996) Tubular Bells III (1998) Guitars (1999) The Millennium Bell (1999) Tr3s Lunas (2002) Tubular Bells 2003 (2003) Light + Shade (2005) Music of the Spheres (2008) Man on the Rocks (2014) Return to Ommadawn (TBR 2016) -------------------- I'd rather have a full Bottle in front of me than a full Frontal Lobotomy!!

I know my dad has a few records by him, I think. Will have to check once I visit them next time.

I still think Tubular Bells would work great as a Death Metal/Melodic Death Metal tune
