Spiral

by Vangelis

Spiral cover art

Composed and performed entirely by the Greek synthesist, 'Spiral' explores themes of cosmic philosophy and the nature of the universe. The album makes heavy use of the Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer, establishing the thick, brassy electronic textures that would become his sonic signature in the following decade. It seamlessly merges sequencer-driven rhythmic passages with vast, symphonic electronic soundscapes.
