L' APOCALYPSE DES ANIMAUX (OST)

Some great melodic work from Vangelis. Side one comprises more sparse accoustically laden songs but even at such an early stage in his career it was evident firstly of the uniqueness this artist displayed but secondly that he was embarking on breaking new grounds in the New Age genre folds. By doing this he openly challenged boundaries and has done so even into the new millenium with works like Mythodea. L' Apocalypse des Animaux is a makeshift work but all the material is good quality even the minimalist ' Creation Du Monde' playing out towards the end of side 2. Two other great pieces are ' La Single Bleu' and La Petite Fille de la mer. Hints at new horizons. A very good album.
