Rosetta

Vangelis releases a new album 'Rosetta', inspired by the European Space Agency mission of the same name.The 12-track suite was inspired by the 12-year operation that landed the Philae module on Comet P67 in 2014. The programme will end on September 30, when the Rosetta parent vehicle is slow-crashed on to the comet. The music was inspired after speaking to ESA astronaut Andre Kuipers, who was aboard the International Space Station at the time. To Vangelis, music is a sacred, basic force of the universe, its purpose to elevate, inspire and to heal humankind. Never has this been more obvious than on 'Rosetta', which perfectly blends his fascination with the universe and his masterly ability to compose stirring music that fuels the senses.
