INVISIBLE CONNECTIONS

One of the most obscure and hard to find Vangelis CD's. There's a reason for this, as the other reviews pointed out, and that's because the music within doesn't match the style most people think about when they hear his name. This CD contains mostly long, droning, electronic and percussive sounds, often processed with deep, gorgeous reverberation. The compositions are not for the uninitated. They contain no melody, little noticable rhythm, and are frequently open key, or serial toned (12-tone), styled contemporary music. It took me several listens to get the hang of this album, and that's what I think turned off most of his fans. But those that do listen, and allow the music to grow on them, will find that it's not just aimless noise, but very thought out and planned.
