Vangelis’ Mythodea stands as one of his most ambitious large‑scale works, an epic choral symphony originally composed in 1993 and later performed in 2001 in collaboration with NASA to mark the Mars Odyssey mission. This 2025 deluxe reissue from Music On Vinyl presents the composition across two 180‑gram crystal clear LPs, housed in a linen‑laminated gatefold sleeve with a 4‑page booklet of photos and liner notes. Featuring world‑renowned sopranos Kathleen Battle and Jessye Norman, the piece blends orchestral power, electronic textures and Vangelis’ signature pseudo‑lyrical vocal arrangements to evoke humanity’s cosmic aspirations.
