Details: Amazon.ca Most composer collections are like those "clips" episodes that you get at the end of a long-running TV series which is low on budget. The tracks are akin to episode highlights and aren't really sequenced to do more than acknowledge what's made the composer popular. That's not the case with this collection. Although it only features two previously unreleased cues ("Theme from Bitter Moon" and "Theme from The Plague"), the whole album has been segued together to make one long unique listening experience. Opening to the lapping of waves (a watery motif that continues), "Bon Voyage" from Oceanic is a perfectly subtle place to start. The tracks are then sequenced according to an organic flow from the end of one to the beginning of the next, as demonstrated by the spacing of four cues from 1492 across the album. If you're unfamiliar with Vangeli's electronic soundscapes outside of Bladerunner (the drip-drip of "Rachel's Song" is included), there's no better place to dive in for an hour. --Paul Tonks Product Description Vangelis
