Tubular Bells III is a 1998 album written and mostly performed by Mike Oldfield.
It features vocalists in the following songs: "Man In The Rain" features Cara from Polar Star with additional vocals by Heather Burnett. "The Inner Child" features Rosa Cedrón (Luar Na Lubre). "The Source Of Secrets", "Jewel In The Crown" and "Secrets" feature Amar and "Far Above The Clouds" features Clodagh Simonds and Francesca Robertson. Also, Mike Oldfield can be heard saying 'Out Demon' on "Outcast".
Oldfield has stated that he initially recorded over 70 minutes of music for Tubular Bells III but trimmed it down to the current 46 minutes and 38 seconds. "Man in the Rain" was written shortly after 1983's "Moonlight Shadow", and is similar in style to the song.
An early version of "The Source Of Secrets" appears on the compilation Mike Oldfield XXV. A live version of the complete album was recorded at the premiere concert at Horse Guards Parade in London and is available on the double DVD Tubular Bells II / Tubular Bells III.
