SEE YOU LATER

There seems to be a concensus about this album being one of Vangelis' worst. I'm not one to disagree. Clearly he didn't try to make an easily enjoyed album, nor finely crafted piece of arty-farty, but went into more techno-ish experiment this time, and also used many guest vocalists. But it's not all bad, no! The most techno-like tracks are likely to annoy his fans, sure. And the "safest" Vangelis track 'Memories of Green' can be heard as a better version in Blade Runner. But still there is some interesting and captivaiting, even beautiful material here and there. The two last longish tracks mix spoken voices (e.g. in Italian) and Jon Anderson's ethearal vocals into intensive and quite progressive music. To sum up, probably this is not worth your money unless you're his die-hard fan/collector, but if you get a chance to borrow it, try to be patient enough not to be directly disappointed. Some of it may "grow on you", so to speak.
