Oceanic
Principally fêted for his film scores--of which Chariots Of Fire, Blade Runner and 1492: Conquest Of Paradise are the most noted--Vangelis was composing music for wildlife documentaries as far back as 1972. So it's little surprise that Oceanic began life as part of a film project about whales before waxing into an electro-symphonic poem about all things deep, aquatic and Aegean-blue in hue. At face value, a concept album about the ocean from a Greek keyboard maestro, who once almost joined Yes, sounds as ominous as a tidal-wave warning. But Oceanic is not, to the chagrin of long-standing fans, topographical prog-rock twiddle but cleansing New-Age navel-gazing hydro-hypnosis--and pure Greece travel-brochure-perusing therapy to boot. With tracks as titularly enticing as "Dreams Of Surf", "Siren's Whisper" and "Fields Of Coral" and the whole album awash with pleasurable synth-strings, harps, pianos and blissed-out Clannad-style choristry, Oceanic gently beckons a finger and says "Come on in, the water's lovely". --Kevin Maidment Binding Audio CD.
