The album that would reunite Demis and Vangelis from 1977, proving that Vangelis is indeed a hit maker, and Demis knew it. This album provided a million seller in the form of "Because", sung in several different languages. Bert van Breda of BR Music was kind enough to reissue the album on CD with bonus tracks involving Vangelis previously unreleased. Unfortunately, this album still did not lift Demis to superstar status in the USA. So not exactly an Aphrodite's Child reunion, but still interesting. I personally like the fact that there is a disco sound to several of the songs! [Thanks to Walter Wachhauer for the scan of "Because" German 7" and to Peter Althammer for the scan of the Yugoslavian LP.]
