Book of Love took on "Tubular Bells", Mike Oldfield's composition, for Lullaby, the New York synth-pop quartet's second album, released on Sire in 1988. Flood produced it with the band's Ted Ottaviano, Alan Meyerson mixed, and Jeff Lord-Alge, Mac Quayle and Mike Rogers shared the engineering.
Lullaby was a record squeezed in between obligations. After their self-titled debut, promotion and nonstop road work opening Depeche Mode's Black Celebration Tour kept the band away from the studio, and it wasn't until the spring of 1987 that they could start putting demos down for the follow-up, writing new songs from March through August.
