Album
China is a studio album by the Greek electronic composer Vangelis, released in 1979. Although he had never been to China, he employed Chinese instruments and compositional styles on this concept album. It was thematically ahead of its time as the eastern cultural concepts were mostly unknown to the western audiences. It is one of his critically most acclaimed solo studio albums. It was certified silver 1985 for sales of over 60,000 copies by BPI. Recorded: Nemo Studios, London, 1978 Released: 1979 Label: Polydor Producer: - China 1979. To favorites 3 Download album.

Vangelis in 1979 interview said Ive never been there, I had the idea long before the events that placed China at the forefront of the news. For years I have been passionate about the Chinese. What is happening there is miraculous, it touches me. He tried to capture in this record China as I feel it, with its peculiar character, its perfume. I find certain resemblances between the music.

Vangelis uses ringing synthesizer textures and stately rhythms to evoke the majesty of China, in a similar fashion to another of his geography works, Antarctica. While a few tracks use acoustic piano and other organic instruments, the centerpieces Chung Kuo, The Dragon and Himalaya use bracing percussion and synthesizer effects to emphasize the subjects each reflected by its title. A talented composer, producer and musician, Vangelis is famous for composing soundtracks to films such as 'Blade Runner', 'Chariots Of Fire' and '1492: Conquest Of Paradise'. To date, Vangelis has made over 30 albums, many of them collaborations. Vangelis: Delectus. 2016 Remastered. The Best Of. Light And Shadow: The Best Of Vangelis.
