okay I did listen intently with the cans on:
Ruby's description IMO was pretty well right (not that she needs nor wants my approval for her commentary!),
but still, there were four tracks that I thought were boring because I just felt there was nothing happening,
a few quick few word description of each track as I wrote it down whilst listening...
"origins" , I was thinking the origins of space, objects zooming through the great void and as they near a star or a planet
the gravitational pull builds up their momentum as they increase in velocity, much like the build up through the track
âStarstuffâ and âInfinitudeâ , did absolutely nothing for me, I just found the tracks to be monotonous and went nowhere fast
âExo Genesisâ , loved the piano and orchestra, lovely piece of work
"Celestial Whispers" , reminded me of what id imagine the serenity and quietness of space would possibly sound like if put to music
âAlbedo 0.06â , I learnt something about the reflective rating scale..but the track just didn't go anywhere for me,
âSunlightâ, as it built up through the song I was imagining solar power/winds
"rosetta" , this track just did nothing or me, I couldn't imagine anything...
âPhilaeâs Descentâ , I imagined a spacecraft descending for a touchdown, the suspense was certainly in the music,
I was hoping it wouldn't crash, and it didn't!
âRosettaâs Waltzâ , you can hear the jubilation in the fact the craft landed safely, music also had that "we got there", "we won",
"we got the prize" type music youd get at the end of a movie when the boy gets the girl and live happily everafter and everyone is saved
type music.
âPerihelionâ, the music came and went in slow waves with the occasional burst of energy and then slow again, like the title suggests
as you get closer to the sun everything increases, friction, turbulence etc but as you move away, t becomes calm again
âElegyâ , almost spiritual in nature, Ruby wrote Hymnal, yeh, i'd agree with that
âReturn to the Voidâ , by the end my imagination was in overdrive, I was hearing the "sounds of space" in this one, like bands of radioactive
static and things amplified that would normally be out of our aural capabilities without amplifiers...
all up, an interesting album in places, it makes sense when you actually know the meanings of the titles of the tracks and easy to imagine what it is...
Vangelis sure is an emotive writer of music...
I listened and I liked well over half the album, but I doubt it would be something I would go back to again,
like ive posted before, I know nothing about this sort of music but maybe one day I will have a better understanding and appreciation
for not only this album but other albums/artists in the genre.
