2 stars This album to is pretty much in the vein of « Soil Festivities ». Vangelis seriously dug into the ambient and new age spheres for "Soil" and "Invisible Connections" is a pure electronic prog album IMHHO. It sounds minimalist during the long opening number and can be related to the early TD ("Zeit") but less appealing.

This means that the music from this work is quite experimental as well and totally lacks in melodic passages. For those who were expecting a more commercial work, it won't be for this time.

To a certain extent, this album shares the obscure and avant-garde atmosphere from "Beaubourg" which didn't leave a great mark in my memory to say the least. I guess that most of traditional Vangelis fans will be perplexed while listening to this "Connections".

The minimalism portrayed during the title track is again repeated for the second track ("Atom Blaster"). Nothing virtually happens here. The transition to the last track is unnoticeable: some sort of all of the same. No big deal actually.

So, rating is tough: between one and two stars depending on my mood. I guess that I am quite positive today?two stars.
