The Dragon is a very different beast from the retro-futuristic synth opuses for which Vangelis is best known. The title track is all droning, trance-like psych with pounding, raga-like percussion, fuzzed-out guitars, glimmering sitar, lush strings, and a distinct lack of synthesizer; the rest of the tracks continue in a similar fashion.
Track listing:
1. The Dragon
2. Stuffed Aubergine
3. Stuffed Tomato
No air can come between them
Listen to these, too:

| Kemialliset Ystävät - Kellari Juniversumi (2002) |
Cool! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've taken a shine to this record of music recorded in 1971. Apparently Vangelis did not as he sued Charly Records over it. http://www.vangelismovements.com/thedragon.htm I dig it though, it is less structured than the Aphrodite's Child stuff. People who like this might also dig his first (I think?) solo LP, Earth, on Vertigo.
ReplyDeleteI love the wipe-clean quality of your ostentatious postings! No chalky aftertaste, with a minty hint of loon-panted idiosyncracy! Yes sir, we can boogie!
