has theme song from Death of a Princess / Cosmos

On this album, "Alpha" is the main theme song for "Death of a Princess" about a Saudi Royal Princess who was executed for adultery and this song was also part of Carl Sagan's Cosmos television series. This song alone is worth the purchase of the album

Probably my favourite Vangelis album

I know some people prefer his orchestral and choral mush but give me this side of Vangelis any day. This is by far his most free and creative album. No constrictions of compositional niceties cramping his work here. Jazz, rock, electronica. This is for me his most exciting album; it gets your pulse racing rather than merely tickling the intellect. I prefer the short version of Pulstar from the vinyl EP but this version still thrills.

I just wish he'd produced more albums of this sort.

Masterpiece.

Great instrumentation, and programming that Vangelis is truly great at. Synthesizers, and great drum programming, especially on the track Alpha, in fact you'll have Alpha on repeat for days. Pulstar opens the album, and really sets the tone, amazing!
