Leider spreche Ich schlechtes (?) Deutsch, so instead I turned to the English or
French versions, though only the latter explains that the section titles do not
appear to bear any special meaning except that they refer to instruments (Fast
guitars, Basses, Ghost bells, Harmonics, Bagpipe guitars, Caveman (his voice),
Ambient guitars), muscial atmospheres (Latin, A minor tune, Russian, Peace),
musical styles (Blues, Trash, Jazz) or parts of a score (Introduction, Finale).
It also states--quite interestingly I think-- that these titles echo Mike
Oldfields sensibility towards the timbre of the instruments (whatever that may
mean) as well as his denial about any attempt at telling a narrative: Tubular
Bells, whether in 1973 or 2003, does not have a meaning to it.
