My wife and I were on a recent cruise where whenever the ship left port and raised the sails, the crew played the song Conquest Of Paradise from this album. The weather on the cruise was beautiful, and the mood of the music sent chills down our spines. We purchased this album strictly for this one song. Upon hearing the entire album at home for the first time, we discovered each and every song was able to induce a special mood. There is no "bad" song on the entire album. We are in our early 60's, and consider ourselves to be rock 'n roll fans. We are familiar with Vangelis from the "Yes" days, and are pleased to have matured at the same rate he has. I would consider the music on this album to be inspirational, yet somehow relaxing.
515 YEARS AGO A GREEK SAILOR FROM CHIOS ISLAND CHRISTOFER COLUMBUS REDISCOVERED THE WESTERN LAND.GREEKS KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR OVER 2,500 YEARS,AS THEY WERE THE BEST KNOWN SAILORS.VANGELIS' MUSIC FOR THE 500 YEARS OF REDISCOVERING AMERICAS FOLLOWS THE JOURNEY OF CHRISTOFER COLUMBUS USING A MUSIC FEELING TOUCH UNIQUE TO VANGELIS PAPATHANASIOU.I BOUGHT THIS SOUNDTRACK DUE TO MY LOVE FOR MOST OF VANGELIS' WORKS.HE WAS TALENTED FROM GREECE 40 YEARS AGO WHEN A MUSIC GROUP 'THE APHRODITE'S CHILD' WITH THE OTHER GREAT GREEK SINGER DEMIS ROUSSOS.AN EXCELLENT MUSIC AND A GREAT COMPOSER.
