SPIRAL

Vangelis certainly put his sequencers to good use on this album. And, unlike so many synth artists who hit the "on" switch and let the sequencer play the same thing for way too long, Vangelis knew when to say when, tweaking the sequence a bit or adding enough other tracks to keep things varied and interesting. I would say that some of the tracks could have been shortened, especially the first half of "To The Unknown Man". At the time, this album seemed way ahead of its time.
