Yeah, the Vangelis forum is closed.

Speaking of Voices, I had more or less ignored that track and the album until the release of The Collection in 2012, after which I found myself strangely fond of that track (not the album, though). Then again, I've suddenly started to like the Electronic Night album version of Together Now a lot this year, so I guess it's just the effects of time. ;)

It makes me think of Crazy Frog's version of No Limit when I listen to that album. ;)

Just got the Spiral 2013 remaster... well, it's not that bad. A bit more space/trebley and the extra track (previously released on a 7' single only, IIRC) is nice. 8)

... the packaging, however must be from the cheapest stock. Just trying to get the booklet out of the front slit/compartment resulted in a 1.5 cm tear in the front cover. A shame.

I'm not sure if there was a reprint, but I really liked the packaging on the 2013 remasters in actual 2013.The actual remasters however... Yeah those I truly didn't like (outside of Direct and Page of Life).

I think we can say as a composer, improviser, keyboard player Vangelis is beyond JmJ.

However in terms of brilliance Vangelis JmJ same level.

Nocturne is a really enjoy album, the old tracks sound absolutely terrific! Hearing 1492 played on the piano and harp together is godlike!

In terms of brilliance JMJ is lightyears beyond Vangelis.

Any 5 year old is better on a piano than Jarre, but he makes some great sound design :)

I would argue with the brilliance part.

These piano interpretations hold up ever so well.

As synthesizer artists reach 60s 70s becomes
1. Far Harder to compose a synth album weaving textures sounds diverse synthesis.
2. Far Easier to improvise on one or two instruments as piano strings harp.
3. Far Easier just set a sequence play pads solos fx bits n pieces over the sequence.

Therefore at nearly 70 for JmJ to compose a synthesis album as EquInifinity is quite something.

Those here in our 20s 30s 40s wont understand this.

Thus Remember what I have said for the rest of your Creative Lives : Create NOW whilst you still have Juices Flowing in you.

I've been listening to the Rosetta album more often these days, and it still pisses me off that the audio distortion in "Sunlight" is present in both CD and LP versions, and to my knowledge hasn't been fixed at any point.

To me it really is so damn noticeable and ruins the track quite a lot (especially considering how climactic it's supposed to be). Crikey.

Yeah, that distortion was never fixed. It's on two tracks and I'm surprised that it slipped through honestly.

Alright, got this one recently as well:

Compared to the 2013 remaster, there's definitely less treble going on and the audio sounds very similar (but not identical) to a previous CD version I've got.

NASA released a new video with Vangelis music.

It's not from Vangelis' next album Juno To Jupiter, which will come out in December.
