SPIRAL

Excellent music. 1977 and this is probaly one of Vangelis's top three ' progressive' sounding albums. The album is beautifully composed with elements of dreamy like layered songs to the more feverish psychedlic suite like the phenomenal ' Dervish Dance'. ' The Title track takes one on a slow meander witha steady mood before leading into the melancholic and sad ' Ballad'. Dervish D makes you want to dance ( yes even to Vangelis'!). Side two starts with perhaps the highlight of Spiral- ' To The Unknown Man', what a title for a song too. Spiral shows Vangelis nearing his musical peak in the 70's decade and is a must have to any Vangelis enthusiast.
