Summary: Simply Splendid
Comment: Heaven And Hell - Vangelis :- The words Perfect and Life Enhancing spring to mind. If you don't have this work in your collection,then you are a very poor person (musically). Sell your house and car,indeed your soul if need be, BUT GET THIS MAGNIFICENT PIECE OF WORK!

Summary: the first solo album on RCA that fanfared a great talent
Comment: The first solo album and a great epic championed to a rock audience by the greatly missed Alan "Fluff" Freeman. Good themes with lots of monk style cloister vocals, scary synth effects and three absolute highlights: the Jon Anderson sung "So long ago so clear" -one of the very best songs he has ever written (and I am counting all his Yes classics) and sung - beautiful. The other stand outs are a galloping synth theme which has a Ride of the Valkries type feel and the main theme itself. There is a great atmosphere throughout moving from themes of dread and joy echoing the work with his previous 60s group on the classic 666.

The only downside and the reason why I have not awarded five stars, is that there are only two track entry points on the CD, so the three tracks I have referred to above are not listed and can not be accessed separately. I am sure there were at least two-three track points on each side of the vinyl album, even if the tracks had no individual names. This CD urgently needs remastering, including new additional track entry points so that you can easily access favourite sections.

Summary: breathtaking
Comment: I am a fan of Vangelis and spend hours listening. Heaven and hell is uplifting, mixing classic and modern, violent and peaceful. I particularly like the drums and the discordant parts...I strongly recommend.

Summary: Even better 2nd time round
Comment: Being of a certain age I brought this album first time round and spent hours mentally drifting and mediatating to the music. I had lost contact with it and have found my way back to it via the track 12 oclock, I'm now about to buy it again.

Summary: A Trip through the Cosmos with Vangelis
Comment: I first encountered Heaven & Hell when viewing the TV Series Cosmos, written and presented by Dr Carl Sagan. The music haunted me for days until I discovered it had been written by Vangelis and was available as the album Heaven and Hell.

The haunting electronic melody takes the listener on a journey through time and space with changes in tempo which constantly keep you wondering what is coming next but at the same time, guiding you along the path, building to a crescendo with fury similar to 'Mars in The PLanets Suite. I venture to compare it to use this comparison but purists may well disagree.

An album for which to set-aside time and drift off onto a higher plain.
