5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb music that you might be surprised to find you like,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heaven And Hell (Audio CD)
Vangelis is an artist unlike others. This album seems to bridge a gap between classical and modern. Heaven and Hell is a superb musical journey that will be quite unlike most things you've heard before, but you may well find yourself converted. It is left to the listener to decide which movements describe Heaven and which Hell. Listeners of a certain age will recognise the 3rd movement as the theme from Carl Sagan's Cosmos series of 20ish years ago. My only slight complaint is that on the vinyl version, the song (with Jon Anderson as vocalist) is placed in the middle of the main theme, but this is not enough to cause me to award any fewer that 5 stars.

A Trip through the Cosmos with Vangelis,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heaven And Hell (Audio CD)
I first encountered Heaven & Hell when viewing the TV Series Cosmos, written and presented by Dr Carl Sagan. The music haunted me for days until I discovered it had been written by Vangelis and was available as the album Heaven and Hell.The haunting electronic melody takes the listener on a journey through time and space with changes in tempo which constantly keep you wondering what is coming next but at the same time, guiding you along the path, building to a crescendo with fury similar to 'Mars in The PLanets Suite. I venture to compare it to use this comparison but purists may well disagree. An album for which to set-aside time and drift off onto a higher plain.

4.0 out of 5 stars
the first solo album on RCA that fanfared a great talent,
By Rob Sanderson "Robscanda" (Haverhill UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heaven And Hell (Audio CD)
The first solo album and a great epic championed to a rock audience by the greatly missed Alan "Fluff" Freeman. Good themes with lots of monk style cloister vocals, scary synth effects and three absolute highlights: the Jon Anderson sung "So long ago so clear" -one of the very best songs he has ever written (and I am counting all his Yes classics) and sung - beautifully. The other stand outs are a galloping synth theme which has a Ride of the Valkries type feel and the main theme itself. There is a great atmosphere throughout moving from themes of dread and joy echoing the work with his previous 60s group on the classic 666. The only downside and the reason why I have not awarded five stars, is that there are only two track entry points on the CD, so the three tracks I have referred to above are not listed and can not be accessed separately. I am sure there were at least two-three track points on each side of the vinyl album, even if the tracks had no individual names. This CD urgently needs remastering, including new additional track entry points so that you can easily access favourite sections.
