Joe Santa Maria & David Tranchina: Oblique Rhyme

Read "Oblique Rhyme" reviewed by Fran Kursztejn

At its worst, the music of Greek composer and multi-instrumentalist Vangelis is full of sounds and furies that signify absolutely nothing. At its best, his recordings incorporate many types of sounds and beautiful and memorable melodies that nod in the direction of a number of different musical styles without destroying the overall mood of his records. ...
