	Albedo 0.39 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although it is uncertain which synthesizers Vangelis employs on this album, other instruments include acoustic drums, percussion, a xylophone, a gamelan (track 2) and recordings of the speaking clock (courtesy of Post Office communications) and the Apollo moon landing ("courtesy of NASA").
		The "Nucleogenesis" suite conveys a somewhat darker mood, employing a church organ, an organ synthesizer pulse, various lines of Vangelis' patent synthesizer brass, acoustic drums and basses.
		The title track, "Albedo 0.39" is an atmospheric track building on waxing and waning synthesizer chords and arpeggios, while a voice with a British accent narrates various physical properties of the Earth, such as its mass, length of the year in various measurements, and, finally, its albedo (amount of light reflected back into space).

	Mythodea by Vangelis
		Vangelis breaks the relative silence with his reworking of his 1993 composition, Mythodea.
		Vangelis' sweeping synthesizers and sharp accents can be found throughout every track, yet one's attention will remain on the chorus and the vocalists most of the time.
		Vangelis is very clear in what he wants to communicate through his composition - the wonder of Mars, its ancient appeal and inspiration to mankind, and the drive to reach it.

	Filmtracks: Alexander (Vangelis)
		Vangelis, whose real name is Evangelos Odyssey Papathanassiou, has a distinct, electronically-driven style of composition that has gained him awards in several genres of music across several international borders.
		In the film score realm specifically, Vangelis plucked an Oscar from John Williams (and Raiders of the Lost Ark) in 1981 for Chariots of Fire and his better known subsequent scores are those for Bladerunner and 1492: Conquest of Paradise.
		The rhythmic nature defines Vangelis and Alexander, and keeps you interested in the score from the battle scenes through even the stewing underscore of "Chant" and "Immortality." The only straight (and overdue) reprise is the title ("Titans") theme in "Dream of Babylon" near the conclusion.

		Vangelis was introduced to the CS80 at a trade fair in 1977, and was tremendously excited by the possibilities it offered, but arranged to have one on loan for a few weeks before deciding whether to spend the necessary £4850 (the 'CS80's asking price at this time)!

		Listening to this odd-man-out entry in the sweeping Vangelis catalogue nearly 30 years after its release, one is instantly reminded of the time and musical climate in which it wasrecorded--this is a disc that distills the glorious pomp and circumstance that was mid-'70s prog-rock.
		Liking both Vangelis and Jon Anderson in the 70s, it was great to hear they would be doing some albums together in the 80's.
		Compared to the other Vangelis albums I have heard, his style on this album is to me a lot more reflective, with some tracks bordering on the ambient.
