Vangelis-Albedo 0.39 (1976)

The seventh album by Greek composer Vangelis is a masterpiece of electronic music, a work in which the musician further solidified his grasp on electronics and more ethereal concepts. Around this time, Vangelis began exploring Yamaha synthesizers, which, along with other electronic keyboards and synthesizers, plus a range of acoustic and electronic percussion instruments, allowed him to create unmistakable soundscapes akin to the typical progressive and symphonic rock. With "Albedo 0.39", the Greek musician completed a spectacular trilogy that had begun with the earthly "Earth" (1973), and continued with the mystical "Heaven and Hell" (1975), masterfully concluding it with a work in which his music is created from the perspective of space observing Earth. Outstanding pieces such as the spacey and powerful "Pulsar", the grandiose "Alpha", the astronomical "Main Sequence", the exotic "Free Fall" or the progressive divided into two parts "Nucleogenesis", make up one of the most avant-garde and solid works created by the Greek wizard of the keyboards.
