## Description

Released on 23rd September, Vangelis’ breathtaking recording is inspired by the Rosetta Mission, a pioneering project by the European Space Agency (ESA) to land a probe on a comet for the first time in history. The release of the recording marks the culmination of the 12-year mission and is accompanied by incredible footage captured by the probe. Vangelis, whose celebrated scores include the trailblazing ‘Chariots of Fire’ and ‘Blade Runner’, reveals his musical inspiration: “Mythology, science and space exploration are subjects that have fascinated me since my early childhood. And they were always connected somehow with the music I write.” The project came about after ESA astronaut André Kuipers, a long-standing fan of Vangelis, reached out to the composer whilst aboard the International Space Station. After sharing stories and experiences via a video call from the ISS, Vangelis was inspired to write ‘Rosetta’. The music is dedicated to everyone who made ESA’s ongoing Rosetta Mission possible, in particular extending the track ‘Rosetta Waltz’ as an expression of his appreciation to the mission team.

Review: love it - Good cd
Review: Grand in Scale - Vangelis' career is stretching beyond half century mark. He has always been able to produce such a versatile array of genres, moods and soundscapes....from experimental, to pop, space, new-age, chamber, choral, and classical music. After 15 years, he finally released his first non-soundtrack recording. And what have we here? A refreshing, clear, cosmic, ambient and almost hypnotic sound that combines some of his best sounds he produced in the mid 70s, late 80s and early 90s. Enter Rosetta... My general opinion is that the second half of the album is where Vangelis truly shines, although the first half of the album is also very solid in scope and grandeur. The album opens bombastically with Origins (Arrival) track, that quickly descends into electronically charged space music. Starstuff and Infinitude are both elegant cosmic ballads about the grandeur and the vastness of the Universe. Both Exo Genesis and Albedo 0.06 are on the more experimental side, although with very fine polished synth symphonic sequences. Celestial Whispers and Sunlight have truly beautiful serene space/neoclassical feeling, while the title track is nothing else, but gorgeous, melancholic and almost mournful ballad (also is one of my personal favorites of the album). Philae's Descent is completely electronica track, probably reminding you to one of the earliest Vangelis space themed songs, Pulstar and Alpha, from his cult release Albedo 0.39. Rosetta's Waltz is truly a masterpiece and one of the best songs Vangelis has composed since the beginning of the millennium...the only downside is being too short. With Perihelion, Vangelis ventured some uncharted ground. This being the longest track, bears a striking resemblance to the best Berlin School music style, mixed skillfully with trademark Vangelis symphonic style. The background rhythm sounds sort of like 'Rubycon 2' from the album 'Rubycon' by the group Tangerine Dream, and also like 'Traveller' from the album 'Final Call' by Kitaro, only more 'muscular'. Elegy perhaps has the most classical sound on the record, and can easy be the bittersweet, and majestic farewell tribute to the mission itself. Returning to the Void closes the album with delicate, and ambient yet hypnotic sound, once more echoing the grandeur of the Universe.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Vangelis
*by M***R on 23 September 2016*

The Internet has been alive with stories and rumours about this album for a long, long time. Three tracks [subsequently remixed] have been on You-Tube for at least two years. One story elaborated on the fact that this is his first non-soundtrack release CD in 18 years which is factually incorrect. 'A Tribute To El Grego' was initially released a long time before 'Oceanic' as an extremely expensive collectors' piece, and Vangelis subsequently released it in 1998 to fulfil his contract with Polydor. Time as come to show it is one of my favourite albums of all time, with its dark, brooding and celestial orchestrations, ending with Movement X - my favourite Vangelis track ever. Since then he's released 'Mythodea'; Alexander'; the 'Blade Runner Trilogy' with one CD of new material; the 'El Grego' film soundtrack and 'Chariots-The Play' with a few new tracks. So to all Vangelis fans, 'Rosetta' is the first taste of new material since 2007 - disc 1 of the Blade Runner trilogy. Jump forward to now and we're finally here with the new album. I've played the album a few times before giving an opinion, and have to say it's good but not brilliant. All the ingredients are there in abundance: synth orchestrations; rumbling percussion; twinkling harmonies etc, all played with fresh feeling of spontaneity and coupled with loads of electronic background effects. Vangelis has nothing to prove to anyone. He's basically released album that's instantly recognisable, especially the sublime 'Starstuff'.
