When I first came to Jamendo, I hoped to find an album like this. Someone who can stamp their own identity on their music whilst being unashamed to admit that they're influenced by the great Electronic masters. The album does borrow a lot from mid-period Vangelis, particularly "Blade Runner" but also from other classics like "China", "Antarctica" and "Opera Sauvage". Really - it's an album die-hard Vangelis fanatics like myself are looking for, especially since the great man hasn't made a predominantly electronic album since 1996.
"Heaven and Sea" is an album that shows a delicate touch with plenty of atmosphere, emotion and melody. At a concise 36 minutes, it also boasts both a coherent and consistant quality, making it an absolute pleasure to listen to in its entirety.
It's an outstanding piece of work that I'm glad to have had the pleasure of listening to.
