Here's a piece of news I have not seen reported yet. El Greco is now headed to DVD in Spain after having a theatrical run there. While not as successful in the box office as in Greece, I am glad to see that the DVD will be released there and hopefully to be seen (and heard!) by many more people! The price is great (14.99 euros) and can be pre-ordered at dvdgo.com! Release date is listed as August 7, 2009! Great cover art, isn't it? |

And while you are at cdjapan.co.jp, order the new re-release of Vangelis-Odyssey on SHM-CD. It's only 2000 yen!!! |

First though is the discovery of another "CD on Demand" company. This one is located in the United States, and they have obtained rights to press Invisible Connections! The company is ArkivMusic and the CD can be ordered by clicking here. I noticed they also have the Julian Lloyd Webber 2 CD collection, Gentle Dreams (which includes "Un apres midi") as a CD on Demand. |

On October 21, 2008, the world-reknown company, Criterion, will be releasing the Costas-Gavras film, Missing, as a deluxe edition 2 DVD set. This will be remastered, of course, but the Vangelis soundtrack will remain in mono as originally presented. Isn't it strange that a movie from 1982 did not have a stereo soundtrack? I was always puzzled by this. It is a great film for sure, and if you did not pick up the Universal issue yet, then hold off for this one (unless you're a colelctor like me, then buy 'em all!) Amazon is taking pre-orders. |

And there are a bunch of things coming out soon and available for pre-order. My favorite Japanese store, CD Japan, has a bunch of new things. There will be new SHM-CDs coming from BMG on October 22, 2008 for Heaven and Hell, Albedo 0.39, Spiral, Beaubourg, plus Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe. Donna Summer's Gold 2 CD set (which includes her cover of "State of Independence") has already been releaed as SHM-CDs. Finally, Chariots of Fire Ultimate Edition 2 DVD set will be re-released there on October 24, 2008. |

One more piece of info. In case you thought about getting ripped off on ebay to buy the Jon Anderson 3 Ships CD, save your money. Amazon (US) is listing this CD for pre-order to be released on October 14, 2008. |

I'm
still alive! Even though I have little time to update anymore, this
site is never far from my mind. I'm thrilled though that there are
others out there keeping news current. I personally love going over

This
isn't really news, since the release occurred at the beginning of
the year, but I wanted to highlight it because it is a nice
collectible from Japan. For the first time, Raymond Lefevre's
"No.12" album has been released on CD, and on SHM-CD no
less. In case you do not know, the Vangelis composition
"Stephanie" is past of this album. This was
reportedly an Aphrodite's Child song but I'm not really sure about
that. Since these items go out of print quickly in Japan, I suggest
you hustle on over to 
Hi
folks. A long overdue update to the site! Not much in the way of
news though. Much of this will have already been reported on other
sites by great fans of Vangelis! But just in case you missed some
things, I'll repeat them here.
In
a variety of EU countries, a new 2 CD set has come out, pairing two
Vangelis back titles from east west: The City/Voices.
It has been a while since a record companies have done this type of
grouping. RCA/BMG are famous for doing this with Heaven and Hell/Albedo
0.39/Spiral,
but even they have not done that for a while (well, Christmas is
coming, so who knows). This item is available at amazon as well. In
the US, there is a link to purchase-click
