13th January, 2023: Irene Papas - Odes (electronic dimotika, 1979)

An incredibly pretty album, with Vangelis just approaching his Blade Runner era mixing incredibly well with some traditional Greek singing. The mix of synths, ambience and folk music can give this a kind of hokey new age atmosphere at times, but when it locks in, it's quite captivating. There are elements of both traditional classical and folk music in it and it does manage to have a solid amount of variation - the synths occasionally locking into Vangelis' characteristic proto-synthwave sound, but at other times sounding more like a Tangerine Dream Berlin School record. A unique mix of sounds and definitely one of my favourite Vangelis related projects.

6.6 (3rd listen)
