Vangelis tunnetaan parhaiten elokuvasäveltäjänä, esim. Chariots of Fire.
Hän luo syntikoilla unenomaisen ja kauniin äänimaiseman. Tässä levyssä on teemana meri ja aallot.
Sopii loistavasti musiikkimeditaatioon.
Oceanic (1996)
This ode to the Oceans was reportedly written and recorded by Vangelis at a beach house in Greece. It's a calm and gentle album with many sounds of waves and water.
Vangelis was personally involved in the sleevedesign, as he used to be in the late seventies and early eighties. The album proved 'too light' for many old fans who prefer Vangelis' roots with progressive music, but was welcomed by many of the new age generation of his fans.
According to East West (the recordlabel) some of the music was originally written for a documentary project about whales, but in the end Vangelis has taken the subject far beyond that.
