by Jim BrenholtsInvisible Connections is a very interesting CD from Vangelis. He shreds his symphonic biases to create a totally electronic album with lots of quirky experimental sounds and sci-fi timbres. The atmospheres are quite stark and playful. Vangelis seems to have been trying to reach a broader audience. This is pure space music with icy tones and metallic textures. It borders on sheer minimalism and is an extreme departure for him. This rare gem will appeal to fans of Michael Stearns, Constance Demby, and Maitreya.
