A Primeval World. . . .

Mythodea is the most breathtaking music I have ever heard. Whenever I listen to it, I fall into a world that is dark and lyrical, wild, wonderful and primeval. For the length of this album, I am a wanderer in the mysteries of the universe.
Excellent!

For someone with so little in the way of "formal music schooling", this tour-de-force from Vangelis is simply astounding! For those of you who are fans of grand opera, massive choruses, inspired and inspirational musical lines and soaring melodies...this is the CD for you! I burned this one for my car stereo for the daily commute...a Blaupunkt 10-speaker 400 watt monster in my Audi...and, quite simply, forgot all about heavy traffic, backups and delays. If there is one piece of Vangelis music that I would say is equal to or slightly surpasses this entire piece, though, it would be Movement IV, from his lush "El Greco", featuring the legendary soprano Monserrat Caballe. Bottom line: buy this entire CD...and, Movement IV from "El Greco". Outstanding work...all!
simply superb

Most of my favorite Vangelis pieces are ones he did for motion pictures. This album is a prime example of how Vangelis creates such a stirring, emotionally charged mood that he is so well known for. Highly recommended album.
