Aguirre: Original Soundtrack

CD-Charts > Music > Neo-Classical
by: Popol Vuh

Release Date May 10, 2004
This is Florian Fricke's classic soundtrack to the 1972 Herzog/Kinski film, Aguirre: The Wrath of God. Well, part of it anyway.
The haunting main theme, the one that plays as the conquistadors first descend from the Andean mountains at the beginning of the film is played out here; as is the pan pipe song played by the Native American slave.
Sadly, other pieces of music from the film, such as the the song that plays when Aguirre and Pizarro stare out at the mud filled river at the beginning of the film are not included. This is very puzzling considering the main theme is included twice, as Aguirre I (L'acrime di rei) and Aguirre II, with basically no difference between them except for a guitar ditty that kicks in at around three ...

Gift: the Best of Vangelis

CD-Charts > Music > Neo-Classical
by: Vangelis

Release Date July 20, 1996
Iv'e owned the CD Vangelis "Themes" for some while now, and i rate it very highly. What a disappointment this CD, the best of vangelis was. Nothing of the quality and originality of Vangelis of the 80's and 90's (listen to "Themes" and compare). All i heard was re-hashing of old material from this period, and third rate at that. I wondered why it sold so cheap!? now i know.. And being a musician and composer, i do know what i'm talking about.

Odyssey: The Definitive Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Neo-Classical
by: Vangelis

Release Date
This is a trip in nostalgia for me as I used to have a copy of the original 'Pulstar' which opens the album. I always loved the theme from 'Chariots of Fire' and kept thinking - I haven't heard that in ages, each time another track came along when I first bought this album.

One of my favourite tracks is Alpha. Following it with 'Celtic Dawn' works so well I cannot imagine hearing them separately anymore.

Vangelis has been asked to write so many tracks which are used in films it is no surprise to find many of them here.

This is a well rounded and varied selection of his music which grows on me more each time I play it.
