 unbelieveably brilliant May 7, 2007
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
This guy is brilliant in every thing he does with music, it's hard to understand sometimes that there isn't a full orchestra backing on the tracks... but of course there isn't, it's beautifully created electronic music with some wonderful melodies that haunt you for hours after listening to it. If it's relaxing music you want, there's nothing better than this
It's not a best of....... it's just the best. April 25, 2007

I feel a bit stupid, as I bought this CD a while ago under the impression that it is one of them countless Best of's. So It was in a pile for a long time waiting to be played. What a shock I got when I banged it on.
Great opening track. Vangelis at his peak. Love the Voices, and the stirring anthem. Come To Me is just such Celtic brilliance. Then Track 5 Ask The Mountains is the music from the washer advert were the clothes turn into fish, a conger eel and jellyfish. Prelude has some gorgeous piano playing. Losing sleep[still,my heart] is such a moving love song.
It is all good. It is one of my Favourite favourites Vangelis CD ever. I need to have my backbone reattached as I am that blob on the carpet slowly spreading. Must stand up........
Vangelis is the master and Voices is a tremendous album. April 25, 2007

I remember when I purchased this album almost 12 years ago. I listened to it once and ever since, have hardly taken it out of my hi-fi. I find it an absolute joy to listen to and it's so relaxing.
It starts off with the title track 'Voices' and that flows seamlessly into 'Echoes' which is one of my favourites. Another favourite is 'Ask The Mountains' featuring the voice of Stina Nordenstam. I would have to say that my last favourite is 'Messages' as it mimics moments from the title track and it flows beautifully into 'Dream In An Open Place'. This last track is so delightful and dreamy with its piano lead and muted trumpet phases.
This is definitely one of my favourite Vangelis albums and it shows him in a new light. There are three tracks where guest vocalists appear. One of them is mentioned above and the other two; 'Come To Me' features Caroline Lavelle on vocals and cello and 'Losing Sleep (Still My Heart)' featuring Paul Young.
This album is possibly showing Vangelis taking another genre to his finely tuned bow. This sounds more classical and maybe jazzy compared to his previous albums. Which is a good thing. This is a great album as you'd come to expect from a genius like Vangelis. Superb.
In my top 5 cd list! February 21, 2005

I bought this when it was released, and lost track of it for a few years - it became just another cd in the collection. However, I gave it a go recently and couldn't believe how good it still sounded ten years after the first listen!
There's one melodic track after another, some very clever harmonies and manipulated vocals, and it's a perfect cd to end a stressful day. It's creative, imaginative, multi-layered, and the production is as good as the composing! I can't recommend it highly enough, and do wish I hadn't forgotten about it for so long. Losing Sleep and Messages are two of my favourite tracks by anyone, and the whole album is right up there in my top 5..
 Ambient electronic at its best September 23, 2003

A perfect example of Vangelis at his best. In my opinion the most engaging and enjotable of all the artists work. Fantastic sweeping synths and varied, striking vocals. Definately one for the chill-out collection. An easy entry into the Vangelis style with no strings attached.
