1984 Original. Vinyl Appears Glossy. Slight Cover Wear. “Soil Festivities Dates From 1984, Before Vangelis Was Working With Orchestras. Some Would Say That It Was Before He "Sold Out" Or When He Was A "Real Musician," But Those Opinions Are Totally Subjective. It Is Certain That This Is A Different Kind Of Album That Features Five Movements, Each A Self-Contained Soundscape. Vangelis Surrounds A Subtle Drone With Heavy Sequences And Dense Atmospheres. He Uses A Symphonic Synth To Create Pastoral Textures.” Jim Brenholts, All Music Guide.
