Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing a massive, terrifyingly bombastic choral section alongside Jon Anderson of Yes, Greek synthesizer visionary Vangelis delivered a wildly ambitious concept album exploring the afterlife. 'Heaven and Hell' is an incredibly epic, fiercely triumphant progressive electronic symphony, contrasting beautifully melodic, deeply futuristic new age atmospheres with wonderfully apocalyptic, highly intense symphonic prog.
