Vangelis Releasing Album Inspired By Rosetta Space Mission

(Prog) Vangelis has revealed details of upcoming 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 program 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.

Vangelis says: "Mythology, science and space exploration are subjects that have fascinated me since my early childhood. And they were always connected somehow with the music I write." Read more here.
