New details on Vangelis' upcoming Juno mission album The release of Vangelis' new Juno mission album is coming closer. The album puts a spotlight on NASA's Juno mission: A space probe sent out to the planet Jupiter, currently still orbiting said planet for continued surveillance and research.
Soprano Angela Gheorghiu (Vangelis collaborator at the 2011 concert in Doha, Qatar) revealed in a recent interview that she was invited to sing on three songs on the album. observatornews.ro/eveniment/angela-gheorghiu-colabor... Our sources close to Vangelis confirm her involvement. She sings wordless melodies to music performed by Vangelis (there is no orchestra on this album).
According to our reliable sources the initial release of the album will be in digital form only: Download, streaming, etc. Gheorgiu mentions a July release but it could be later than that. It will be accompanied by a web site.
Separately, later this year, a special physical release including a CD will follow, which will be accompanied by a book about Jupiter, the mission, mythology (Zeus is the Greek equivalent of Roman god Jupiter), including some recent photographs of Vangelis, etc.
Good things to look forward to!
I for one could do very well without the soprano...
