1984 Original. 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.
