Vangelis-Heaven and Hell (1975)

In 1975 Vangelis had just signed a succulent contract with the record label RCA, he settles in London where he begins the construction of his own recording studio, which he calls "Nemo Studio", at the same time that he begins to compose and record this great work.
Vangelis in this sumptuous album achieves a sound as revolutionary as it has been unpublished until then, a true fusion of classical forms with electronic music, and where the collaboration of Jon Anderson also appears for the first time.
In "Heaven and Hell" the Greek musician creates an impressive variety of atmospheres ranging from the frantic to the dramatic and the sublime.
With a part as aggressive as before, Vangelis had never experienced, and his mastery of classical piano, demonstrating the formidable technique of the musician.
It's no wonder that a band like "Yes" were so interested in hiring him to replace Rick Wakeman when he left the band in 1974.
A preliminary version of the classic "Chariots of Fire" already appeared in "Movement 3", which would appear years later and would become a Hollywood Oscar-winning song, but "So Long Ago, So Clear" is the most unforgettable song of the album with Anderson's voice as the main attraction.
"Heaven and Hell" was an innovative work at the time and today it is still so current and intact.
