This album, originally recorded in 2005, was inspired by Vangelis' soundtrack to the movie, "Alexander," and so is a "soundtrack without a movie." (This particular release is version 1.0, a precursor to upcoming, remastered versions with enhanced orchestration and a bonus track, "Return to Asgard - Closing Themes.") Commissioned cover artwork is a watercolor by Steven Felicetti, whose excellent work attracted the attention of the composer. Enjoy this work, which Felicetti is delighted to present finally in digital form. "Felicetti picks up where Vangelis left off ... and sometimes hints at John Barry." -- Jackson Berkey ( pianist / composer )
