I found Soil Festivities a rather difficult album to get into. But I know it was an inspiration for Jonathan Elias when he made Requiem For The Americas.
I have personally always loved SOIL FESTIVITIES.
It may have been my first “real” Vangelis album (after the New American Orchestra BLADE RUNNER album).
Such a lovely score. Super melodic, warm orchestral consonance. Even if I have no interest in Miss Marple (watched some as a kid, not keen on traditional crime these days). I like Scherrer (THE HONEYTRAP and BOAT STORY are two others worth recommending).
The old Ron Goodwin theme is of course a classic and one of my first film theme memories. Not familiar with Scherrer or this Marple version. First notice him with this weird British dinosaur time travel TV show PRIMEVAL I think. If anyone knows that…
Sorry, I’ve never been able to warm to SOIL FESTIVITIES. A bit stark. Maybe some day.
Interesting, it’s always been on of my favorite Vangelis albums, and I find it warm, with fluid, melodic soundscapes.
His next album, INVISIVLE CONNECTIONS (which I also like a lot) is maybe a bit stark, but I find SOIL FESTIVITIES quite the opposite.
