Spiral (Vangelis album)

Spiral is a studio album by the Greek electronic composer Vangelis, released in December 1977.

[1] It was the third album produced by Vangelis in Nemo Studios, London, which was his creative base until the late 1980s.

[3] It is a concept album, thematically inspired by ancient Tao philosophy, exploring the nature of the universe moving in spirals.

He goes on to say that "although the structures and the overall dynamics of the pieces are less complicated and less sophisticated, Spiral's keyboard utilization is still extremely effectual", and "musical movement does seem to transgress toward full, complete soundscapes", especially in "To the Unknown Man".

[6] Henri Stirk from Background Magazine rated the 2013 edition by Esoteric Recordings 4/5 stars.
