3.0 out of 5 stars Someday..., January 23, 2006

By

This review is from: Niki Nana (Audio CD)

Yanni, in his first album Optimystique, 'created' a sound known the world over. Unfortunately, that sound was a blatant ripoff of the artist Styx. Yanni changes style from his prior albums in Niki Nana. The sound here is much more synth-orchestral - something Yanni and many other people thought had never been done before.

Some of the reviewers here have been lauding the track "Someday" from this album. With a quick listen to Jean-Michel Jarre's Revolutions album, released a year before Niki Nana, one will find a song that is almost exactly the same as "Someday" entitled "Computer Weekend". Both tracks start off with a water crashing sound, then to an upbeat synth ballad with very similar rhythms. The sounds and rhythm work well for both artists, but I would be very surprised if Yanni didn't based the song off Jean-Michel Jarre's work.

I've been looking for the CD of this album for a long time. I had the tape and it broke from over use. Now I'm enjoying this again.

Although Niki Nana is not much seintillating as other Yanni albums,"Someday" is really Unbelieveable!!!! This track is really worth a million. I think,it shows some of the finest sounds Yanni has ever created. Go and buy this album,"Someday" will really touch your heart.
