Near the end of the seventies Vangelis began experimenting with new directions and this album was the result. A lot of people think different about this album. It's all synth swooshes of sound criss crossing a direction he would try again with Invisible limits but this is far better. Not unlike Conrad Schnitzler's Contrasts or Klaus Schulze's Dune. But Vangelis's music always has so much emotive sound its hard to see this as a sci-fi epic. Really here he was trying to get away from his usual emotional stuff and go for cyborg sci-fi thing but his own style betrays him a bit. Part one is great part two drags in spots.
This is the newly remastered version by Vangelis.
