The link between the progressive rock and the synthpop is not that tenous as you might have assumed from my post about Tangerine Dream. After all, the prototypes of synthesizers were used by many musicians in the idiom of Yes, Van Der Graaf Generator and King Crimson. Moreover, many even worked in both genres, making some of them, like Vangelis, the bridge. Actually, since we are speaking about Vangelis, we must mention that his records from the middle of the 70's were a mix of the two, they were the symphonic orchestral electronica. Yes, they operated within the similar characteristics of these styles, but Vangelis added his own flourishes to them. He is striving to reach an incredibly huge sound without it overwhelming the listener. Even though his songs strike us as colossal sonic sculptures, no wonder he ended up doing soundtracks, they maintain a certain simplicity.

I might have to take back what I said about Vangelis' Spiral. O.K., not completely, it's not that bad, I mean, I still think it is a great entry point for him, although Spiral's predecessor, Albedo 0.39, is a much better record overall and for that task. You see, Albedo 0.39 feels less monolithic than its follow up, it is more varied in its scope and sounds. Listening to both discs back-to-back one might think he did Spiral earlier, but released Albedo 0.39 sooner. Seriously, take a listen at this cut and wonder at its intricacies and lines. It is both complex and simple, which is a feat of its own. Yet one must also consider this – this song is relentless, but it does not feel tiring at all. It does not plod, it sails smoothly towards the weird ending.
