Technical engineer Richard Barrie was well prepared for the move, having ensured that all of Mike's studio equipment was connected with multicore cables for ease of disconnecting and reconnecting: "When we took the studio out to Los Angeles, to Beverley Hills for Tubular Bells II, it took me less than a day, from the container turning up, to actually running the studio, and it was just a case of sitting there - you just kind of sit there, you look in the room and you think ‘well, the desk is going to go there, the monitors are there, the tape deck’s there.’ and then you just kind of clip everything together." He set up a studio in a hired house in Los Angeles to begin working on the album. Virgin had wanted to give the title 'Tubular Bells II' to Amarok, but Mike had refused, and it was only as he came to the end of his contact with Virgin that he began work on the idea of a Tubular Bells sequel. Mike first had thoughts of recording Tubular Bells II after recording a shortened version of Tubular Bells Part One for BBC Radio 1's Nicky Campbell show in 1989.
