L’Apocalypse Des Animaux = 動物の黙示録 – Vangelis = ヴァンゲリス* – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Released in 1973, ‘L’Apocalypse Des Animaux’ reveals Vangelis at his most introspective, crafting an instrumental suite for Frédéric Rossif’s acclaimed wildlife documentary. This album is a quietly groundbreaking work, blending analog synths and organic textures to conjure a serene, almost spiritual meditation on the natural world. Each track unfolds with patience and subtlety, inviting deep listening—whether it’s the minimalist piano motifs or the gentle electronic washes that have become Vangelis’s signature. The record stands out as a pivotal moment in the evolution of ambient and electronic music, predating his later, more bombastic film scores. For vinyl collectors and lovers of atmospheric sound, this album is an essential artifact: it captures both a unique chapter in Vangelis’s career and the era’s fascination with nature and technology. Its influence can be felt in the works of later ambient artists and film composers. If you appreciate records that reward attention and offer a respite from the noise of daily life, ‘L’Apocalypse Des Animaux’ is a contemplative masterpiece that deserves a place in your collection.
