13CD box set, called
Delectus, features all of
Vangelis‘
Vertigo and Polydor albums – including the Oscar winning Chariots Of
Fire – newly remastered (from the original first generation master
tapes) ever under the legendary composer’s own supervision.
As well as the albums Earth, L’Apocalypse Des Animaux, China, See You
Later, Antarctica, Mask, Opera Sauvage, Chariots of Fire, Soil
Festivities and Invisible Connections, Delectus also features recordings
with
Jon Anderson as ‘Jon & Vangelis’. These are Short
Stories, The Friends of Mister Cairo, and Private Collection.
Additionally, this set features four bonus tracks, one of which,
Neighbours Above (on the See You Later disc) is previously unreleased.
Speaking about the box, Vangelis said “
I always welcome
remastering my old work for two basic reasons. Firstly, I get the
opportunity to bring the sounds to today’s standards, secondly, it gives
me the chance to go through the experiences and memories of the time.”
