Advantages: Diverse sampler for some of Vangelis' extensive discography. Disadvantages: Lacks context, and ignores much classic material.
...of Vangelis soundtrack compilations: the 'Blade Runner' ending theme and 'Conquest of Paradise' opener. Beyond this, there's not a lot that would ring a bell for non-fans. Ranging from 1975 to 2001 it's certainly one of the more comprehensive overviews, though there are many important albums unrecognised; something from 'Heaven and Hell' would be especially welcome, and it's odd that even the most recent studio effort 'Oceanic' is ignored in favour of obscure film themes.
These rare tracks are the major selling point of the album to collectors, namely 'Theme from Cavafy' and 'Celtic Dawn.' The album tries to impress with 'Mutiny on the Bounty' excerpts, but these had already been dealt with on 1996's 'Portraits' collection. These aren't Vangelis' greatest work, and won't remain in your head after spinning the CD multiple times, but I guess it...

Advantages: An enlightening piece of music Disadvantages: Quite dull in reflection; and possibly quite depressing.
...Vangelis is not everyone's cup of tea it's amazing exactly whom it is appealing to.
Themes is available to purchase new on CD from Ebay at around 50p....

Advantages: Consistently rocking throughout, dude Disadvantages: Headbanging for the full duration may cause your head to fall off
...I was listening to the sounds of a Kerrang promo disc one day when a song of intergalactic rocking proportions began to play, needless to say I was blown away...
I was looking forward to listening to a Zakk Wylde (Ozzy's guitarist) track on this Kerrang disc, listened to it, thought yeah OK maybe I'll try his album (Black Label Society: 1919 Eternal). One song came up, snatched my attention and instantly got me rocking out...
Enter SOiL's Scars
-------------------------
This is a "balls to the wall heavy f'n metal" album according to Metal Hammer magazine who awarded it metal album of 2001 and I don't disagree. SOiL indeed are a truer heavy metal band in their mosh pit amongst the nu-metal crowd if you can forgive the hip three capital, one 'i' name. The title 'Scars' represents the scars in one's misfortuned life.
