Our Take

Vangelis, the man, the myth, the synth wizard extraordinaire, has graced us with yet another compilation album, "Light And Shadow - The Best Of." But does this collection of hits truly capture the enigmatic essence of Vangelis' musical genius, or is it just a desperate cash grab from a fading star?

From the ethereal melodies of "Chariots of Fire" to the pulsating beats of "Blade Runner," Vangelis takes us on a sonic journey through space and time, blending classical compositions with futuristic soundscapes. Tracks like "Conquest of Paradise" and "Alpha" showcase his unparalleled ability to transport listeners to otherworldly realms with just a flick of a synth knob.

But for all its brilliance, "Light And Shadow" doesn't quite hit the mark as a definitive Vangelis collection. The omission of seminal tracks like "Memories of Green" and "Spiral" leaves a glaring hole in the album's repertoire, leaving die-hard fans clamouring for more.

Overall, "Light And Shadow - The Best Of" may not be the ultimate Vangelis anthology, but it's still a worthy addition to any music lover's collection. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let Vangelis whisk you away on a cosmic journey through light and shadow. Trust us, you won't regret it.
