About the track:

CYRK’s slick treatment of Mike Oldfield’s spellbinding 1973 prog-rock instrumental ‘Tubular Bells’ is much more John Carpenter-esque than the chilling original in ‘The Exorcist’ – and all the better for it. Going for a total sonic makeover melding electro-funk and synth wave, Goossens and Hetzel have left the main theme intact, dropped the tempo, and transformed the track into a neon-lit spectacle of dramatic synth riffs, bouncy basslines, and spectacular drum fills.
