Voices is a deep and engaging album from an e-music legend,
Vangelis. This CD predates his regular use of symphony orchestras to augment his synths. His synths are, however, very symphonic. He creates broad atmospheres and dramatic soundscapes with synth hooks, chant vocals, and samples.
Vangelis also adds some experimental textures and smooth melodies to cap his soundscapes. This is an exciting CD.
Vangelis is in a league with few peers. In terms of stature and emotional response, this disc will appeal to fans of
Enya and
Yanni. ~ Jim Brenholts
