RECENT RELEASES (click cover in this column to be taken to a retailer selling this title)


Michael Hoppé - Solace: Michael is a personal friend of Vangelis, and included on his latest album is a Hoppé composition, "The Parting", that is performed by Vangelis back from 1986. A rare treat that does not happen very often. To top it off, the rest of the album is very relaxing and enjoyable. Released on Spring Hill in the USA SHM 6042.2


Kathleen Battle - Classic Kathleen Battle/A Portrait: Her latest release is a compilation album, which happens to include the track "Movement IX" from Mythodea! Glad to see that Mythodea still gets promoted well after its initial release. In the USA on Sony Classical SK 89464


Neuronium and Vangelis - In London Platinum Edition: The studio session work between Vangelis and Neuronium has been re-released once again in a "Platinum Edition" with 24 bit remastering and deluxe packaging. From Spain on Neuronium Records NRCD 003
