Actually, it was recorded in '78 or 79. It is very beautiful - as long as
you don't compare it to the music that inspired it (classical music). "X"
is more a hybrid of brooding electronics/sequencer and orchestral
instruments, (but used also in a rather textural, hypnotic way (as opposed
to emphasizing the typical qualities of "real" classical music - linear
development, orchestral color, complex themes, etc.)

Totally. Try cdconnection.com, I'm sure they have it. Vinyl however...
good luck. You're likely to find it on either the Brain label (Germany) or
Thunderbolt (UK).

np Alan Silvestri "The Abyss" more fusion of electronics + orchestra
PS> I saw "The Fifth Element" and have to say that Serra's ST was
definitely better than some of his other stuff (like the Big Blue). And
truly, only a Frenchman would think of setting a car chase to Rai music!
