Customer Reviews timeless music of transcendant solitude.....and dogs...yes, dogs Late 1970's, 3 pm, sitting in my van, waiting on my laundry to cycle. . . . Houston, TX, sticky hot. . . . and some pretty good FM DJ whose name I have forgotten plays Vangelis "Heaven and Hell" all the way through. My life changed. (By the way, anyone who likes the music of Vangelis should immediately buy "Heaven and Hell"--anyone who appreciates cover-art should buy it as well. ) "Heaven and Hell" led me to Vangelis to "Spiral" to "Albedo" and to a near-deserted multiplex in southwest Houston to see the movie "Antarctica" MOVIE REVIEW---please see it in High Def, or on the big screen--stunning visuals---good news. . . . most of the dogs survive. . . . With heroes who cannot speak, the music speaks . . . . for the dogs, and for the humans who had to leave, but will return. The music speaks of vastness, cold, and despair, but also the hope that beauty brings, the beauty in the white ice and distant sun. This is music to listen to sparingly. . . . . on sunny days in winter. . . . on Sunday morning. . . . but it is music to keep, to revisit and renew. . A perfect accomaniment to a beautiful film The movie itself is beautiful and emotionally charged and Vangelis' stunningly melancholic score ups the emotional quotient and will have you reaching for the Kleenex once you marry the visuals with the music. I've owned this soundtrack for several years without having seen the movie it accompanied until today. Enjoy the breathtaking music on this cd and beg steal or borrow the movie to get the full experience. Almost as Perfect as 1492 Conquest of Paradise !!!!! THIS ALBUM KICKS MAJOR BUTT IN THE PURE MOODS DEPARTMENT AND THE OPENING TRACK IS THE BEST ON THE ALBUM, I HAD THE VANGELIS ALBUM TITILED "PORTRAITS" AND THE VERSION OF ANTARCTICA THERE WAS ONLY 4 MINUTES LONG, I DIDNT KNOW THAT THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF ANTARCTICA WAS 7 MINUTES OF PURE HEAVEN,THE 4 MINUTE VERSION ON PORTRAITS ONLY PLAYS THE FIRST DECENT HALF, THE OTHER 3 MINUTES OF THE SONG NEAR THE END ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST PERIOD !!! IM SO GLAD I BOUGHT THIS ALBUM TO KNOW THAT ANTARCTICA WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT :). .
