Antarctica

CASSETTE TAPE.

This Electronica give to us some advantages, like this :
1. An Unappreciated Musical Gem
This is probably one of Vangelis' least known and least appreciated musical sountracks. How many people have even heard of this movie? Yet it perfectly captures the "sound" of the icy continent of Antarctica. I haven't seen the movie, but like any good score, just listening to the music paints a picture in my mind. Although the music is completely electronic (the synthesizer was still a bit of a novelity at the time), it isn't too techno sounding. It is very reminiscent of Chariots of Fire, only more ethereal. I highly recommend it to round out the perfect collection of instrumental music.

2. "Antarctica" is at Least Equal to "Chariots of Fire"
The music from "Chariots of Fire" is world famous. Unfortunately, few people are aware of "Antarctica," a composition at least equally fantastic. A previous community reviewer says the 1983 movie is mediocre. Was this film a documentary or work of fiction? I can't seem to find any information whatsoever. Thus, it's a safe bet that Koreyoshi Kurahara's movie was not worthy of such incredibly beautiful music. I probably listen to this sound track at least ten hours each month. Vangelis has created a masterpiece that readily conveys the austere coldness of Antarctica's vast and silent wilderness. Tracks 3, 5. & 7 are especially magnificent. One readily imagines heroes facing overwhelming obstacles and dangers.

The Academy Award voting members disgrace themselves when ignoring work deserving of honor merely because the overall movie failed. This is a scandal that should not be tolerated, but it is probably best not to hold one's breath waiting for...
