Halloween is near, so here is a version of "Tubular Bells", one of the pieces of music considered by many to by the official song of Halloween (Its main rival, the theme from the movie "Halloween", is a sort of rip-off of the earlier "Tubular Bells").
The song actually pre-dates the movie "The Exorcist", and when it came out, it was like nothing heard before. Its inspirations include "Brigg Fair" by Delius. But thanks to its association with the movie, "Tubular Bells", like the Sleestak, gives children of the 1970s the creeps.

That was interesting. I listened to a bit, fast-forwarded and listened to another stretch. I have never associated any music with Halloween, so this put a new dimension on the holiday for me.
This music has definitely become creepy by association...and was no doubt chosen for some feeling that was already there. It is actually quite lovely though.
PJ: "Tubular Bells" proper is a long double-sided album. So what was performed is only a fraction.
Laura: The Exorcist theme is only a fraction of the longer work, actually.
