It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Vangelis energies, virtually a rebirth. Oceanic carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Vangelis was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Vangelis and Oceanic together. Oceanic constantly brilliant.
Sirens’ Whispering - arguably the best track on Oceanic album. Dreams Of Surf - A nice song. Spanish Harbour good vocals. Islands Of The Orient (7:24) - Oh, this is one of my favorites!
After seeing Thanksgiving, I had to have a good George Winston cd. This is one of the best Cd’s George Winston has dropped to date. When you buy a George Winston album, you know exactly what you’re getting! This is what good Classical: Neo-Classical should be.
Jesus, Jesus, Rest Your Head - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Joy - This is a very lively song. Blew our minds when we first heard Prelude. Carol Of The Bells - George Winston first major hit. Night Part 1- Snow great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Night Part 2- Midnight - I like this one.
This is the first studio album from Philip Glass since bad diagnosis in 1997. Since completing 1997’s ‘Heroes’, Philip Glass fulfilled their contract with Columbia Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Heroes Symphony carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Oh yes, this album gets Array out of Array
Blew our minds when we first heard Abdulmajid. Sense Of Doubt one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard.
I am not a real Classical: Neo-Classical music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Born’ really is amazing. seven years ago, Bond briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Winter”. When you buy a Bond album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Bond is one of my favourite bands of all time.
Winter - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. Victory one is one of the better boring ones. Oceanic - A catchy, upbeat tune. First time I heard Kismet was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Korobushka - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Alexander The Great (3:00) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs.
After debuting at No. 1 last week, Secret Garden’s album Dreamcatcher falls to No. 2 with 562,000, a sales slide of 71%. There is so much to love about Secret Garden, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Since Secret Garden last CD (Dreamcatcher) on EMI Records back in 2001, I have felt a massive void in my life. It is very deep stuff - very exciting
First time I heard Prayer was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Moving - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Dreamcatcher - A nice song. Sigma is worth the money. Song From A Secret Garden has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. Sona - A catchy, upbeat tune. Once Passacaglia gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. Elan - a classic song. In Our Tears (4:40) - Oh, this is one of my favorites!
There is so much to love about Clint Mansell, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Now signed to Clint Mansell’s ForeFront Records, the title track from second album “The Fountain” leads Clint Mansell’s back-to-school campaign. This disc has all of the essential Clint Mansell classics. Overall, I would highly recommend The Fountain CD.
Holy Dread! - A classic Clint Mansell track. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Stay With Me - A catchy, upbeat tune. Blew our minds when we first heard Work.
‘Music in Twelve Parts’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Philip Glass’s album Music in Twelve Parts falls to No. 2 with 415,000, a sales slide of 75%. It’s natural for Philip Glass to take a stab at ‘Part 1′ considering her long-professed love for Orkrist. This is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
Part 2 - My least favorite song on this album. Part 3 - A catchy, upbeat tune. The song Part 4 ending is my favorite… so catchy! Part 5 [Beginning] is another favourite of mine. Part 5 [Conclusion] - To me, this is the best song on the Music in Twelve Parts. Part 6 - This one makes me want to not only sing along.
For older fans L’Apocalypse Des Animaux will put a massive smile accross your face. This disc has all of the essential Vangelis classics. Vangelis’s debut, ‘L’Apocalypse Des Animaux’, does not fit easily into one genre. Oh yes, this album gets Array out of Array
La Petite fille de la Mer - This is a very lively song. Le Singe Bleu (7:42) a good melody. La Mort Du Loup - Well, here we get a bit more meaning.
This album has some very good songs like Opening and Floe. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Philip Glass on ‘Opening’. Glassworks isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. This album is awesome.
Floe is worth the money. Blew our minds when we first heard Island.
