Anthem Austrian CD single front coverAfter the huge Mythodea project, Vangelis surprised everybody by writing the Official Anthem for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the most popular sporting event in the entire world. By doing so, Vangelis unveiled a new composition that really was masterful. He composed a track that was adapted for the orchestra (via Blake Neely) and within that composition, wrote a melody that has been turned into a masterful dance remix track. Very clever indeed. There have been singles released in Japan and Europe, and the song is highlighted on the Official Music CDs released by Sony/Epic (not covered here, go to the Various Artists Compilations section to learn more about those). For somebody who is supposedly not a "singles artist", Vangelis has once again proven that he can do anything that he wants. Keep your eyes open for the Japanese promo single of the Official Anthem, which contains a mix exclusive to that CD. And most importantly, Sony has pressed a couple of vinyl issues of the song! Vinyl lives! Incredibly, the Japanese 12" is already sold out and will become a valuable collectible! [Thanks to Roland Weißflog for the scan of the 12 snippet version of the Jingles and Snippets promo CD and to Walter Wachhauer for the scan of the USA CDR acetate with three versions of Anthem on it.]
