Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This CD, as the customer's review before mine rightly points out, is not performed by Vangelis but rather by Space 2000. Some of the rendidtions are almost identical to the originals, but still falter somehow-the lack they soul of their creator. Some tracks are well produced such as "Bittermoon," "West Across the Ocean Sea" and "Echoes of Antarctica, whereas the rendition of "Blade Runner" is laughable. If you're a big Vangelis fan, this CD is worth having, even if only to compare renditions.
This type of album is a problem with buying on the 'net. It's a 'carbon-copy' album by a group of electronic musicians which lacks the soul of Vangelis. In a real shop it would be sold in the bargain bins, on Amazon it's listed (and recommended) as a Vangelis album. Sure the playing's not too bad, but when the originals are out there and easily available from this store, there's no need to waste your money

I see here that some people are led to believe this is real Vangelis, while it's not. That said, as a Vangelis fan, and not-so-fan of cover versions that add little or nothing to the original music, I have to say that I've heard better ones. But again, why buying an expensive cover versions album while you can get the original Vangelis por much less? People: get compilation albums like "Themes" + "Portraits" (or "Odyssey") and you will get the fresh and unparalleled Vangelis in full splendour, and cheaper.
Eine hervorragende Klangqualität, ist dem Original sehr ähnlich. Zwar fehlt der Choralgesang, aber es stört nicht weiter. Der Klang wirkt sehr dynamisch und kraftvoll. Die Cd's lassen sich ohne Probleme auf dem Computer abspielen. Eine sehr gute Ergänzung für die Musiksammlung.
