a look at the music of Vangelis Papathanassiou

Introduction

Not counting the long due official release of the 'Blade Runner' soundtrack in 1994 (which was originally composed in 1982), the release of Voices in 1995 marked Vangelis' first new work and solo album since three years. It is his fourth album released on the East West label, right after 'The City'(1990), '1492 Conquest of Paradise' (1992) and 'Blade Runner'(1994).

The title of the album is an obvious reference to the collaborative songs featured, 'Come to me' sung by Caroline Lavelle, 'Ask the Mountains' sung by Stina Nordenstam and 'Losing sleep (Still my heart)' sung by Paul Young.
