Tubular Bells II?

>Tubular Bells II?

    Really? I didn't know it existed. Will check it out. This feels like
    starting shopping for next christmas on boxing day ;-)
    
    While we are on Tubular Bells, am I right that it was the music
    to the movie Exorcist? Tubular Bells is not the soundtrack but
    some pieces were in Exorcist, right?

    I think this is relevant too, as far as scary movies go:
    
    The music of (the very lousy movie) Omen was my all time
    fave Carmina Burana.
    
    Lale
    

    I thought the traditional Halloween piece was Mussorgski's (sp?) "Night
    on Bald Mountain".

    Mussorgsky's (this is the correct spelling) Night on the Bare Mountain
    is excellent. Yeah, would make good halloween music.
    
    (I also love Pictures at an Exhibition)

    some of Bach's organ stuff is classic horror film fare...
    
    

Yes, there is a (released early this year I think) "Tubular Bells II".  Not
well received by the reviewers I read.  Yes, the "Exorcist theme music" is
from Tubular Bells.

    Lale,
    
      If you want something incredibly scary for next Halloween, check out
    Diamanda Galas's "Wild Women with Steak Knives".  It's on one of her
    earlier records, but I don't know the title.
    
      It runs about twenty minutes and consists of Diamanda's patented
    gibbering and shrieking.
    
      This one is guaranteed to keep all the trick-or-treaters far from
    your door and probably cause your neighbors to get *very* worried and 
    sell their homes.
    
    Sca-a-a-a-a-r-r-y stuff!

    }}Last night we played Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, except for the
    }}very end, which gets too folksy and not scary at all.
    
    }}Any ideas for next year?
    
    	Roxy Music's "In Every Dream Home a Heartache"  (The live version)
    
    				OR
    
    	Frank Zappa's "Where the Torture Never Stops"

    	Yes, yes, yes
    
    	Hello Recording Club's October issue is a 'group' called "Duplex
    Halloween Planet" - bizarre music and people mumbling/whispering/
    talking about Halloween in general - weird stuff.
    
    	John Skipp and Craig Spector's "Soundtrack" to a book they wrote 
    ( there's no movie, just a book ) called _The Bridge_
    
    	. . .uh . . . a warning, the title of this next one may offend....
    
    	The group Nail has an album called _Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel_
    - *don't buy this album!* - trust me, it's freakish and gruesome . . .

    re .8, Diamanda!  What a *neat* name.  How is it pronounced?  Is it
    Dee-Amanda or Di-Amanda (an in Diane)?

    Dave, good call on the Zappa - I forgot about that one!
    
    

    While hardly scary, my fav Halloween tunes are:
    
    
    All Saints Night ---- Loreena Mckenna (sp?)  This is an especially 
    	haunting tune which conjures up a lot of images.
    
    Tam Lin ---- Fair Port Convention  This is from a traditional scottish
    	tune I believe, but is great halloween stuff. Matty Prior also
    	does this on recent live Steel Eye Span album but I prefer the
    	FC version.
