Greetings from my bedroom. For the first time since i was about 10, I put on my brother's old copy of Vangelis' "Greatest Hits" double LP. After randomly dropping the needle where it seemed fit, I sat back to the melodic sounds of "12 O'clock." At the precise moment, I was flooded with the most astonishing feelings of familiarity, (a similar experience occured just last night when I walked into a tree after an interview with Front Line Assembly...I always was good at first impressions.) To get to the point, CJ Bolland's track "Con Spirito" on the newish "Electronic Highway" (R&S) is an exact copy of the Vangelis track...that is, essentially CJ Bolland has done a nice techno remix. The fundamental basics remain intact...theme and all. I was surprised at how similar they were... Anyways, we don't get much trainspotting up here in the North, so I thought I'd share this precious moment with y'all. ____ __,---' `--.__ ,-' ; `.
