### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The end, recurring voice 'Albedo 0.39'
*by T***R on 8 August 2011*

Albedo 0.39 was the third LP I bought of Vangelis's. It never struck me as his best but certainly one the most interesting. The double-gated LP had an intriguing NASA launch-watching spectator rear cover photo(which appears on the CD insert).This to me, whether then or on the replacement CD was more of an intergalactic journey. Some planets interesting, some boring, some ugly, others very beautiful. Certainly, back in the early '80's when I bought LPs like the end of the world was nigh, apart from Star Trek and the occasional TV series, this sort of thing was the only scifi escapism a lad like me had. Not that I'm a fan of scifi, generally, though!'Alpha' always was my favourite, the theme to Carl Sagan's 'Cosmos' series. The 7" single had on its thin paper sleeve all those red blotchy faraway spots of cosmic light that fed my imagination and the music recreated that; the stereo separation of my "hi-fi" back then becoming even more impressive when this was played!Today, technically at least, there are slicker and shinier examples of synth rock, or whatever you want to call it. Some tracks do crash about a bit and get a bit too involved but all in all, this is an album of variety and substance over continual perfection and has indeed, stood the test of time. And what schoolboy, however 'young' can fail to be coolly impressed by that final soothing mathematical countdown - to Albedo 0.39?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing
*by P***M on 19 July 2024*

Duplicating the Vinyl records.The music is always goodWe will miss Vangelis

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ classic 70's electronica
*by B***N on 21 June 2008*

Produced in the 70's before he really hit the big time, this is a slice of what made Vangelis the master of synth rock. This is up there against Tomita and J.M. Jarre, and comes out very well. We all gasped that only one man was making such wonderful music, remember this was before PCs and samples took over the world. There are complex and melodic pieces alongside percussion. There is an other worldly feel to the pieces which explains why this music was used in Carl Sagans "Cosmos". The spoken title track is quite haunting and ethereal, the sound effects of the speaking clock and telephone dialling a little twee. A great introduction to synthesizers and the template for many a late night session staring at the clear night sky as a callow youth, dreaming about the Chariot of the Gods.
