[Review] Vangelis: L’Apocalypse des Animaux (1973)
Soothing music for the savage breast perhaps, but also a great introduction into the musical world of Vangelis.
Soothing music for the savage breast perhaps, but also a great introduction into the musical world of Vangelis.
Vangelis releases a rock album. No, seriously, this album has vocals and guitars for a tactile, psychedelic experience.
Your dogs would be barking too if you had to carry your son for miles on your back.
Vangelis enters the ranks of modern classical composers with this musical battle between good and evil.
The epic battle of good and evil over, Vangelis goes into space, never to return.
Similar to the score for Frederic Rossif’s earlier film, L’Apocalypse des Animaux, but with a small party of African percussionists.
A direct and accessible album of sequencer-based songs sandwiched in between some of his heaviest concept albums.
Vangelis’ vision of metal machine music showcasing the Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer.
An improvisational jazz-rock jam recording from 1971 that finds Vangelis going around in Circle.
More jam sessions from 1971, this time featuring Aphrodite’s Child guitarist Anargyros Koulouris and drummer Micky Waller.
Yes should have saved their tomatoes for this album.
With friends like these, who needs short stories?
The soundtrack to the PBS series introduced many listeners to the music of Vangelis in a classical context.
Either their albums are getting better or I’ve lowered my standards. Probably both.
Maybe not as out of this world as Eno’s Apollo mission, this is still pretty cool.
