THE DRAGON

One of Vangelis early 'experimental' albums this is a surprisingly good.Only 3 tracks and you could be forgiven for thinking that this is a symphonic prog album.It isn't! The first track in fact never veers off course and sticks solidly around one rythym.Mostly improvised it starts to get a bit tedious around the ten minute mark.The second track is the reason for getting this.The word 'Beautifull' can easily be overused but not in this case.Classic Vangelis,this builds with such lightness of touch that it is breathtaking.The final track is more 'tradional' sounding prog with slight Folk Prog undertones.Quite good.Overall this a pretty decent early prog effort from Vangelis.
