I never saw it when it came out, only some time later, and it reminded me of The Blair Witch Project, which I also didn't see until later (and will never get that 20 minutes of my life back I wasted before I ejected the disk!)

But...Tubular Bells? Yes!

I was a big Drum and Bugle Corps fan back then, and one of my favorites was this corps, and this Drum Solo they did:

I loved it. All the people in my circle of friends did. Many of their instructors and members left to go to the Concord Blue Devils, which ended up blowing everyone away just two short years later, and is widely regarded as one of the best, if not the best Drum Corps of all time.

To think Michael Oldfield was 19 when he recorded it, and he played all the instruments himself. And there were some pretty heavy hitters in that video, including Mick Taylor of the Stones.
