Album Review

John Bush [allmusic.com]

Vangelis uses ringing synthesizer textures and stately rhythms to evoke the majesty of China, in a similar fashion to another of his ''geography'' works, Antarctica. While a few tracks use acoustic piano and other organic instruments, the centerpieces ''Chung Kuo,'' ''The Dragon'' and ''Himalaya'' use bracing percussion and synthesizer effects to emphasize the subjects (each reflected by its title).
