From songfacts.com

Vivian Stanshall of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band serves as the "master of ceremonies" on this track, appearing near the end of the song when he introduces various instruments that then each play the same melody:

grand piano
reed and pipe organ
glockenspiel
bass guitar
double-speed guitar
two slightly distorted guitars
mandolin
Spanish guitar and introducing acoustic guitar
plus, tubular bells

Stanshall was available because the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band was next up in the studio. According to Oldfield, getting Stanshall to say the words correctly was a challenge: he was sloppy drunk and kept getting them wrong.

Sometimes RP gets on a groove that just grates.  I was about to turn it off when this came on.  All is good with the world again.

2009 remix. Hmm. It seems a little more electronic-y, a little harsher, a little cleaner, colder, more transparent. Not sure I like it as much. I fear change.
Still a 10, though.

 
yep, definitely sounds less organic than the original; a little too "clean". They did a live on BBC that's pretty nice.

8 on my part and to all the haters out there, there's always the PSD button guys...!!

My sentiment exactly. If there was doobie involved I might bump it up a little. But then again, no. No I wouldn't.

Use to fire up a doobie and listen to this in the pitch dark. Somenights would scare me terribly! Loved it then and now.......a 10!

Yes, this remix sounds a little different.  But I'm still enjoying it after so many years.

Not a bad remix and I usually don't go for those at all.

I was just talking to someone about this tune the other day.

I said it was one of the most perfect soundtrack selections ever.

Good stuff! Thanks for adding it, Bill! {#Clap}

A classic from the ol' days. Wow. Wore this one out way back when. Good choice, Bill.
