In 2003 Oldfield had rerecorded his first album, ''
Tubular Bells'', as ''
Tubular Bells 2003''. This was to become the musical inspiration for the second MusicVR game, initially titled ''The Tube World''. The final title became ''Maestro'' in 2004 and once again it was available for purchase on his website, and since has become available for free. The game featured segments of music from the classic ''Tubular Bells'', along with new music composed specifically for the game. In the game there are 24 medals and 4 'gravitars' to find. The original price was £14.98 for the download and £18 for the CD.
Both games are available for free download from the archive page of an Oldfield fansite Tubular.net.
