 BIOGRAPHY
Following the brief stint of attention El Greco received in 2001, many watched as he completely disappeared from the face of the earth.
The first album was aptly titled "The First Album," and contained a dozen plus songs constructed of samples by various rock and metal bands combined with lines straight off of children's records.
El Greco has gone and rerecorded a chunk of old material (most of which are the songs performed on the BDF tour) with much better equipment, in order to help people understand what he had always heard in his head.

 "ELSEWHERE": Vangelis' albums 1
The release of this album was preceeded by a new live performance: a spectacular show at the Temple of Zeus in Athens, with the entire orchestra and choir present, fronted by Vangelis, Battle and Norman.
At first the album may seem to cash in on the Conquest of Paradise hype by opening with a bombastic (but solid) track that is reminiscent of the Conquest of Paradise single.
Because the album was being awarded with many platinum records East West organized a celebration party for Vangelis, who wished to receive the awards in Greece.

El Greco was released in a limited edition in 1995, being sold only at one museum in Greece packed in a luxurious box with a book and an authentic autograph by Vangelis on the disc.

EL GRECO extends his vision one step further.
Inspired by and dedicated to legendary 16th century Greek painter El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos), this is an impressionistic aural landscape.
The album is filled up by a single 11-movement symphonic piece written by Vangelis and rendering in a surprisingly organic manner on his arsenal of keyboards.

 Vangelis - El Greco
This 1998 album expands the original 'Tribute To El Greco' (released semi-privately in Athens in 1995) to a full-length CD by adding three tracks (Movements III, V and VII) to the original ones, which have not been tampered with for this international release, only reordered slightly.
Anyway, a great album it was so this re-release has been much welcomed by fans unable to get hold of the original.
This becomes apparent from a rare personal note by Vangelis in the booklet, which is basically the mystic statement that, in order to be a truly creative artist, one must be true to one's own nature and thus to Cosmic nature in general, as they are identical.

It is a tribute to a Cretan painter named El Greco (his Spainish name) who lived in the 1600s.
It is obvious that El Greco bequeathed in his work a tremendous amount of inspiration for Vangelis.
"El Greco" is not at all up to the standard of "Invisible Connections," and indeed Vangelis certainly appears not to have intended to produce a strictly classical work, but it is lovely, and, as is typical for Vangelis disks, beautifully produced.

 Album Review :: Thrice - Vheissu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Vheissu’s Masonic, Ouija-board- esque cover art incorporates choice Kensrue quips illustrating the album’s focus on philosophic hope and maritime imagery, hinting that Thrice has shed its rage against society and cast the exoskeleton of their signature hardcore edge overboard in favor of cryptic, nautical mysticism.
Thrice’s inclusion of low drifting segments of the album that are more mood-evoking than mosh pit-provoking risk losing worshippers of their former angst.
Whether the waves crash in the real world or only in their auditory wonderland, Vheissu is the conveyance that takes Thrice in the direction that they most yearn to go -- out to a kaleidoscopic sea.

This is the track that convinced me that if a film version of El Greco should appear, this should be the soundtrack.
However, if you ever look at El Greco's paintings, the color choices do not seem to fit the piece.

 1492: The Conquest Of Paradise (1992)
Some episodes are identical but much of the music on the album is not actually in the movie, or appears in an entirely different form.
This makes the album seem more like a studio album than like a soundtrack.
A magnificent collection of melodic music, filled with choirs as well as appropriate synthesizers and native sounds this album sounds relaxing and exciting at the same time.

Within the same period of the first releases of Voices Vangelis surprised the fans with this remarkable album.
The money it made has been put into restoration and maintenance of paintings in Greek museums, and followed a fundraising project initiated by Vangelis to purchase El Greco's paintings and bring them to Greece.
In 1998 a new version of the album was compiled, with 3 addition tracks, being released commercially and unlimited, with new artwork but no book, box or autograph.

This album was originally a limited release as a fundraiser for the National Gallery of Art, Athens to purchase some of El Greco's paintings from other museums (Britain and Spain they have bought from recently and those purchases made wire service news but Vangelis' name was not mentioned).
Basically the album is best enjoyed while viewing the works of the artist El Greco.
However it's a great album to listen if you enjoy that correlation between the visual arts and music.

“Take the El” foreshadows a longer project by the same title coming soon, and it also complements the acoustic-oriented “Jimmy and the Swingers” album that Kanas released in 2003.
This 4-song EP stimulates our taste buds for the longer project, and it’s definitely worth picking up to experience the singularly impressive guitar talents of Kanas.
