Vangelis ‎– China 中國. Added almost 2 years ago by austin redman Last updated 5 months ago. Info.

One other property that sets China apart from his other albums is the use of acoustic instruments. I feel that the acoustic aspects of China balance the electronic textures nicely - come to think of it, there is some especially nice acoustic piano playing on The Long March

It seems Vangelis didn't actually visit China at that time, but learned about it through the instruments and by reading books, with some quotes appearing in the booklet. During the album's 40 minutes, Vangelis manages to capture many diverse elements of China and its people, at least the way it was centuries ago: its tortured history (in The Long March), their philosophy (in Yin & Yang), their story-telling (as in The Little Fete), the tranquility of its country-side (as in The Tao Of. Love), its vastness (as in Himalaya)
