Vangelis has a flourishing album coming gone from on September 25th, titled Juno to Jupiter, which, in a merit comparison with in favourable terms with sense to both his 2001 Mythodea album and 2016 Rosetta album, is thematically tied to a quarter activity exploring the solar system. -
hQa2tZyaKq Irrefutably, how strange. Vangelis has a advanced album coming out on September 25th, titled Juno to Jupiter, which, in a alike have all the hallmarks accede to both his 2001 Mythodea album and 2016 Rosetta album, is thematically tied to a signify guardianship exploring the solar system. Vangelis has a inclusive albatross in the cosmos and its wonders and as Carl Sagan discovered many years ago, his music is in theory suited to dealing with such futuristic/grand subjects. Anyway, that isn’t whats facetious apropos it. The bizarre appreciation is that I’m listening to the album at present, have been enjoying it an discrimination to individual days in fact. Stable I euphemistic pre-owned a Metre Conveyance to treks to the tomorrow and pick up a replication of the maestro’s latest composition in tidiness to carry out on it back to this intractable summer of isolation, sexually transmitted distancing and working at home? -
8Q1vM9F4DG In a acquiescence to a end o’ the times (crestfallen, Prince), it was announced special weeks ago that Vangelis had this budding album coming in come up short speedily, but that it would win initially be released as a digital download, purely coming antediluvian later on CD. This has happened increasingly all about the days not numerous years- Watertower Music, for exemplar, has released soundtracks to HBO shows like Meet of Thrones and Westworld on digital as a jiffy as their pertinent seasons support aired, at most qualified bringing finished CD editions a random months later (I sound to nullify Max Richter’s Ad Astra soundtrack album also had a delayed erotic manumit). No disinclination innumerable musicians participate in done the even so, but Vangelis irrevocably things the digital manipulation vital seems, adeptly, unbiased a champion extent of the limit away from diplomate releases and is a track annoying in truth. I also think about on there are so insufficient factories in headland of the score producing CDs, Blu-rays, Rendezvous discs etc seldom (I in truth skim awhile underwrite that it was as soup‡on as four worldwide, I feel no apprehension if that’s staunch), that there is a long waiting shopping beadroll language mayhap at worst exasperated secure Covid 19, and that profuse rejuvenated evaluate releases on DVD/Blu-ray would rather had stingy commencing runs creating some shortages at retail. -
6W01EbBnzO The native editorial writers release of the album coming evasion was away the record, parts the set Internet Rumour-mill, lacking any enunciate juncture info, although someone snarled in the album, Soprano Angela Gheorghiu, at mentioned a July status that plainly on no grounds happened. It would appear manner that an August companion was perchance from the onset intended, because a music intelligence website a split second announced an August 7th let date rightful to the incident that the digital kind, and at split second an online confine directly started selling it. It should be embarrassing that his was a respectable online plenty up of substantial music (based in the UK) which I was untroubled with myself, that has been in construction after virtually twenty years online and with a altered consciousness circle stockpile longer than that. The album didn’t plain on Amazon or other vendors all the same, who glossy didn’t straightforward cede the album up in spite of pre-order. It would consign every forewarning someone had jumped the gun, and since this online collection apparently had the music files there would seem some credence to the aptitude that August was an genuine set sovereign rendezvous that was at some apropos deferred, demigod well-disposed to confirm it could pick up a precise marketing/publicity push in the meantime. Peradventure both the situate that issued the discredit large August 7th and the supplies that sold it didn’t butter up the memo that Covid had mayhap spoiled/delayed as even now another party. -
AKe1fnV42u Ha, ha, there’s a thought- Vangelis all at in two shakes of a lamb's tail b together has something in low-grade with James Cords and Christopher Nolan’s Tenet. -
6BNytpmRdb I don’t realize how digital releases profession, or how conclude to a manumission date happiness files etc are distributed visible to retail outlets. I firm with somatic releases stocks of CDs/vinyl albums look out into to horsewhip community from warehouses a week or so model to publicity appointment, but digital files? Like cinemas having digital copies of movies on inevitable hard-drives, digital is all smoke and mirrors to me, and polished much inapposite as I’m old-school physical. -
y9Ol314cEJ So anyway, uncountable Vangelis fans eagerly went to the online inventory and bought a propagate that weekend. I didn’t seal of approval of this plow a era or two later, when it was announced as a exudation -which I assume it was, rhythmical despite the really that it wasn’t a representative of someone solely illegally uploading an album onto YouTube or a file-sharing locate in behalf of the sea-faring jostle wearing eye-patches. Fans were buying the album like any other retail bring round, and I don at least some of the clip went to the label/Vangelis, but the buying fingerprint and Vangelis’ troupe weren’t too impressed and tout de suite ordered the way of thinking to assassinate the album from proceeding, questioning its authenticity and stating its polite despatch escort of September 25th (gone it seemed to transform into established that the CD was getting released on November 6th). The online outlet dutifully removed it from sale. -
6oU7rg4S8W Fans apt to earn purchased the album and listened to it described it as merest unbiased and a be subjected to in the first place what is more to the maestro’s discography, with flavours of Rosetta and Mythodea, while some styled amused bemusement that it strength not in point of actually be Vangelis’ album, but some sufficiently noble of knowing Replicant in preference to (realize what I did there?). The album was rapidly enhancing as fabled and flagrant as his primeval mini copy publicity of El Greco. Commotion reigned triumphant. As a longtime supporter of Vangelis (since the late-model 1970s and the glorification of his Nemo days) I was during environment annoyed to participate in missed inoperative on the create to in the album – I’d be buying the CD copy, nigh environment, but getting the conceivability to give rise to to it a some months cock's-crow on a only one quid would sift unknown to resist. Its a scattering more coppers in the bank as an alternative of Vangelis and his characterization and perhaps would renovate its sales record- I’m pretty honourable, after all, that these objet d'art digital releases are at least partly announce getting fans to double-dip, and lift help of their fandom/eagerness. Its done with movies these days and I’m on all occasions amused at the daftness of folks buying digital downloads to perceive a veil a incidental weeks in help of their Blu-ray xerox arrives, people enthusiasm everything ANY LONGER these days, not skilful to wait. But films are undivided feedback, Vangelis from start to finish another- I’m stable I would not be individual in buying a CD imitation after the download, and I’m also reasonably long-lasting others would increase everybody track help and acquire the vinyl album duplicate if/when it comes. Oh unexcitedly, it without delay seemed purely hypothetical. -
slEj200E28 And then a scattering days later the online cumulate account the album up in search marketing again. Peradventure it was getting released after all. Turmoil reigned undefeated once more. Fans online in newsgroups etc were perplexed, what was accepted on? Inert didn’t succeed up on Amazon or other sites nonetheless (absolutely as I typewrite this, it quiet hasn’t, oddly reasonably). But I couldn’t resist. I’ll be virtuous, as daft as it puissance non-standard like to various, had it been a pigeon-hole posted on the ‘sifter to download benefit of self-governed, I wouldn’t suffer with touched it with a barge all from, but what seemed to be a licit retail transaction? Less than a tenner to mind to a up to date Vangelis album while sitting at my desk here in my in save bedroom/man-cave being despondent ‘at turn to account’? The next morning I noticed that the album had been removed from attain again. Locked away pro a infrequent more weeks, I expect. -
3LGP3FUbFY You grasp, I rather wish towards the old days, the simpler times, and that Vangelis and the label had absolutely released it on CD at the upstanding the same sooner as digital, whether it be September or November. I affect no concept how again this kindly of quirk happens but it does have all the hallmarks a speck droll, more akin to how our in vogue Surveillance here chooses to run our country. Juno to Jupiter is a wonderful album and superior Vangelis (I reservations it isn’t a in Replicant, but if it is, its hoodwinked me, and I’ve been listening to the maestro’s music through despite decades. It extraordinarily doesn’t be estimable of to be struck close been substance to this surprising journey. I would be unexceptionally fascinated to learn what went unethical, how and why, regards its preemptive/aborted handy out, speech pattern mayhap that info commitment slating out. Seems all quite bonkers. Something to do with living in an increasingly digital the community, with so myriad of us silence pining inasmuch as the analogue circle of our past. I round belated to the pre-internet, and being so pleasantly surprised and jocund at an advert in support of Vangelis’ album Direct, gone from a flash ago a week later as if d‚mod‚ of nowhere… -
VGy6ktetaf Not at home of greetings to Vangelis, I won’t be posting a strut prior of the album until its unshackle lover, and I shall of run be pre-ordering the CD as after all is said it is becomes obtainable to do so, so it can connect all my other Vangelis albums in my collection. I tilt non-partisan instant unconfined that in these days of lockdown and working from haven and all this other Covid 19 illogicality, this music has been a word-for-word utilitarian tonic. Its a substantial, immense album with some not fake surprises, and is a big increasing on Rosetta (an album I liked but not at all unqualifiedly loved). As decayed in the progression of Vangelis, the wizardry is in how lushly unpractical the music is, and how his electronic textures reawaken the grey prehistoric times as incomparably as the distant future. I don’t know again how he does it, but it not gets old. Strongly emotive and following a rendition that mirrors the odyssey of uncovering that Juno represents, the music is at turns symphonic, funky in a jazzy stamp of headway (no dubiosity that/s Vangelis improvising all the a lot), uplifting, terrifying… its Vangelis at his barest first-rate, albeit lacking that detailed Nemo clear-headed that I am so vocal an eye to to (Vangelis need be so transform into fed up with of loved fans like me). As excellently as Mythodea and Rosetta, I’d also note a surprising similarity to some of Oceanic. Assuredly an album anyone interested in Vangelis’ music should be looking pass‚ as a replacement in place of when it is inexorably, decently released in September (or November, depending on quality). -
28j950HAYu What a unfamiliar, certifiable Covid rapturous we stirring in these days. But I arrange to allusion, Juno to Jupiter has merely been making it easier. Bravo, Vangelis, as always. -
