Part chant, part nightmare, it brings out the best and worst of Vangelis’s music - the bombastic and dramatic contrasted with the understated and poetic. Fittingly, Heaven and Hell ends with 'A Way,' an expressive conclusion to a wild, thunderous musical ride courtesy of the musician and composer. I both loved and hated it. In the 1970s, Vangelis formed a musical partnership with Jon. To Heaven and Hell (1975) and some soundtracks by Vangelis from this period,.

Those used to Vangelis' later and lighter synthesized outings may not be quite ready for this dark, thundering album. While it did provide us with the theme music for the TV series Cosmos and bring Jon Anderson into partnership with Vangelis (following an abortive approach to Vangelis joining Yes) on 'So Long Ago, So Clear,' it also served up massed Gothic choirs and a musical depiction of all the tortures of the damned, with an impressive amount of string-driven shrieking. Even so, it's a brilliant piece of work that should not be absent from any Vangelis collection.

Heaven and Hell is a studio album by Greek electronic composer Vangelis, released in December 1975^[1] on RCA Records. It is the first album recorded at his Nemo Studios in London that he used until 1987. It is a concept album based on duality.^[2]

The album marks Vangelis' departure from the progressive rock sound on his previous album Earth (1973), with adoption of a more classical synthesized sound, as well his UK chart debut.^[3]

Overview[edit]

In 1975, Vangelis moved to London where he set up his own Nemo Studios. The album was his first record made at the studio. He recalls that 'I was trying to put together the studio while recording my first album, Heaven and Hell, at the same time. In fact, the studio was Hell because there was unmixed concrete everywhere, builders all over the place making a lot of noise, and next to all that, there I was, trying to finish my album. There was no limit as to how much time I could spend working on the album, but I felt I just had to do it, and in any case, the only way you can complete the construction of a studio quickly is to start working in it before it's actually finished'.^[4]

Vangelis recalls 'I don't like to prepare for a long, long, long time an album. It's more exciting for me to sit down and to play whatever comes. So this is the way that Heaven and Hell happens. I spent six weeks to make this album but I spent maybe two weeks to put down the first tracks'. Vangelis played all the instruments except the choir.^[3]

The album marked Vangelis' first collaboration with singer Jon Anderson, who sings on 'So Long Ago, So Clear', the closing section of Part One. Vangelis recalls how they 'sat down one day and I start to play the melody and he felt so comfortable that immediately he started to write the words'.^[3]

Release[edit]

Heaven and Hell reached #31 in the UK Albums Chart on January 10, 1976.^[5] The album gained further recognition when 'Movement 3' became the theme for the American television documentary series, Cosmos: A Personal Voyage by Carl Sagan.^[3] In 1981 it was released as a single titled 'Heaven and Hell (Theme from 'The Cosmos')', and reached #48 in the UK Singles Chart on 18 July 1981.^[5]

In 2011 the album was included along with Albedo 0.39 and Spiral in a 3-CD box set series 'Original Album Classics' by Sony, RCA and Legacy Recordings.^[6] In 2013 the album was released as a remastered and reissued digipak edition by Esoteric Recordings.^[7] The same label in September 2014 released a remastered gatefoldvinyl limited edition.^[8]

Composition[edit]

It is one of the most important works by Vangelis as it demonstrated for the first time his combination of synthesizer, percussion and a chorus in a rich orchestral style of electronic music. It is one of many thematic albums by Vangelis, contrasting images of Heaven, expressed with a more tranquil sound, and Hell, which sounds more avant-garde.^[9]
