Well, here is my latest Vangelis discography. In the past few months, Vangelis hasn't released any new music, but his old companies (RCA and Polydor) have released some of his music that was previously unreleased or released in a new format. Albedo 0.39, Heaven and Hell and See You Later were all re-released in CD format. A CD single of Chariots of Fire was released. And Polydor released (or will release, depending when and where you read this) Themes, an album that contains some unreleased music with alot of previously released music. I haven't heard anything about the next orginal release in the "Direct series" that the Arista CD cover spoke of. Anyone else know anything? Well, the discography follows. The last release was version 2.1, made in Late April I believe. Please send me replies if you have any additions or see any errors. Thank you. -------------------------cut here------------------------------------------ VANGELIS DISCOGRAPHY VERSION 3.0 1 Compiled By George Regnery Worcester Polytechnic Institute Box 2337 Worcester, Mass 01609 Bitnet:regnery@wpi Internet:regnery@wpi.wpi.edu The following is what I think is a complete discography of all of Vangelis' albums.

ALBUMS WITH MILVA ----------------- Ich HaB Kein Angst Tra du Sogni _______________________________________________________________________ Vangelis' works are mainly instrumental, although a few of them have some lyrics and vocals. Following is a list of albums that are not entirely instrumental, and what kind of vocals they have: Albedo 0.39 English voice-over. Contains tapes of US astronauts on moon, and a brief recoding from Postal Tele- communications in London. Chariots of Fire On the non-Vangelis track, the Ambrosian singers sing music of Parry. China Short English voice-over with Chinese Accent Direct Short Greek (?) voice over on "Message" . English voice-over on one track. [Note: it's stupid...] Earth Singing and voice overs by Vangelis in English Fais Que Ton Reve... French singing and voice-overs (one from a news broadcast). Heaven and Hell Vangelis did this one with the English Chamber Choir conducted by Guy Perothe. Sing in Latin(?) Also, one track done with Jon Anderson from Yes. La Fete Sauvage Voice overs- jungle chants Mask Singing in an unknown language (Latin?) See You Later Some singing by Jon Anderson. Voice overs in English on some tracks (one by a man, one by a woman). Voice overs in French and Italian (Greek?) also. Aphrodite's Child ----------------- 666 Singing and voice overs in English. 17 second Greek voice over. (I don't know about the others, but I imagine they have singing in English).

Milva ----- Milva sings in German to older Vangelis music- such as "To the Unknown Man" from the Spiral album. ____________________________________________________________________________
