CHINA

Ex Aphrodite Child, Vangelis gave us beautiful albums, sometimes agonizing, grandiloquants, synthesizer sounds powerful. "Chung Kuo" (this means that China, ideograms that compose it are "House" and "Man", and China means "house of men") begins very similar to Albedo 0.39 before losing percussion. Even s it is inspired by China is not the kind of music found in the background in a Chinese restaurant. "Chung Kuo" is very melodic and evocative. It gives the idea of being in China but not here nor offering Chinese folk music. A very good album. The theme is taken up by the piano solo in "The Long March." There is continuity. We can not speak of a concept album, but all tracks are inspired have the same idea and the music is so evocative that it is not too far from being a concept album, although instrumental. A good short piano piece. "The Dragon" is return to electronics. Nothing to do with the album omonimous and the title song omonimous. A fantastic way mail, even if it is the least "Chinese". "The Plum Blossom" and his violin are Greek. The piano accompanies the violin has an influence "sirtaki." Incidentally, the violin is played by Michel Ripochewho did the same thing about "The Dragon" and "Hypothesys." "The Tao Of Love." Pacific and the solar energy
