One record ata time: 445. Vangelis - Invisible Connections

I can only imagine that whoever bought this record from an Our Price store back in 1985 felt they had just wasted £6.99. Like "Beaubourg" that came before it, this is a Vangelis album that polarises opinion. I've seen one website rather generously describe this record as an "avant-garde puzzle". Personally I would describe it as a "flaming pile of crap". 

I dislike this album as the 'music' it contains consists of nothing but intermittent bleeps and rumbles that are bathed in a long reverb. The fact that the tracklisting on the sleeve is completely incorrect has absolutely no bearing on the experience of the victim....sorry listener. 

I acquired this record without having heard it and, like the person who bought it originally, I feel like I wasted my money (admittedly I didn't spend as much as £6.99 but the statement still applies). There's a lot you can do with thirty nine minutes of your life; whatever you think of, go do that instead of listening to this.  0/5
