Greek singer Irene Papas, who was also active as an actress, released this masterpiece album in 1979, produced by Vangelis, a world-famous synthesizer player also from Greece. The songs are based on Greek folk songs, and the whole piece is a spiritual and meditative world ambient music that brings to mind the blue of the Mediterranean Sea and the white of limestone. Papas' mysterious vocals, deep echoes, and the unique synth orchestrations are the essence of Vangelis' music. This is a great album.
