* SopranoAndGravel: ''Tubular Bells'' has a wordless treatment of this trope via the "Girlie Chorus" and Mike's "Piltdown Man" vocals. The 80s albums would feature more of this by way of the assortment of [[VocalTagTeam male and female vocalists]] strewn throughout them, but was perhaps best heard on "Five Miles Out", where Mike dueted with Maggie Reilly. Mike used ''three'' different voices in the song: the majority of his vocals were treated through a vocoder, but he also employed a more straight singing voice like the one he would use on "Crises" and ''Heaven's Open'' as well as some brief flashes of his Piltdown Man voice.

** His first four albums were all instrumental, save for a few minutes of ''Ommadawn'' in Part 1 and its epilogue, "On Horseback"; ''Incantations'' in Parts 2 and 4; and though not sung, the introduction of the instruments by Viv Stanshall in ''Music/TubularBells'' Part 1. Then there's ''Platinum''[='s=] title track, ''[=QE2=]'', 90% of "Taurus II", and more.
