Customer Reviews
With such fabulous compositions as "Missing" and "L'enfant", thrown in with established classics such as "Conquest of Paradise" and "Chariots of Fire", the listener is ensured a pleasurable experience- especially as the play-time is almost 79 minutes. I must point out, however, that most of the compositions on this CD have not only appeared on their original CD, but also on other Vangelis compilation albums. In some ways, this is a compilation of compilations.
The main selling point for me was the inclusion of two new tracks. The first, "Theme from Cavafy" is so-so, but the second (an entirely new composition called "Celtic Dawn") is brilliant. As someone who got no pleasure at all out of Vangelis's last original CD, Mythodea, I found it reassuring that the Vangelis I know and whose music I love, can still do it for me. I hope this is a sign that his new album will be a return to form.
Beautifully presented, the album is supplied with well written notes. Vangelis has remastered the disc himself, and even the established classics have been "tweaked" here and there to give a perhaps slightly softer, smoother sound.
Recommended.
This was a very good album, good chillout stuff. He is a musical maestro and as far as I can remember the only composer to win an Oscar with a synth score. Really the only complaints I can give is that a lot of his songs uses the same sounds. Musically they are different yes but his synth sound effects are very similar on a lot of songs. The two bonus tracks were a little eccentric but the rest is a great chillout album with some particularly memorable soundtrack songs, such as Chariots of Fire and the End titles from Blade Runner. This is a good album.
