Comments

A best-of covering Vangelis' work during the 90s. Unlike his earlier stuff which was very synthesizer and for which he's mainly known, this tends more towards the acoustic and orchestral end of the scale, with choral vocals lending a majestic quality to some of the more strident tracks. Most of the pieces are, however, quite peacefully mellow.

Vangelis is in a class of his own. You may also want to check out another of his best-ofs, Portraits, which has a proportion of his earlier synthesizer work.
