Title: The music told more stories than the cinema
Review: This album tells a full story of Columbus, more intense than that Ridly Scott did in the film. Just close your eyes, listen to the music, and imagine the epical scenes that Vangelis paint with his composition. Besides the composition, recording is also very fine. After his experimental trials in "Direct" and "The City", Vangelis' technique to frame his concept reaches a higher level in this album and "Blade Runner". He breaks the gaps between each single tracks and chains them together into a whole. The dramatism in his music is unparralleled.
