This album got me through a very difficult time of my life many years ago, thank you maestro for making this world more bright and shiny! May the almighty keep your soul safe for all time.
Exactly the same... Lost both my parents at 11years old this is one of the albums I listened to help me keep focus while drawing...😉 Had to slow down the mind from taken over...it took awhile but 35 years later I'm still here. 🎶🎶😉
I bought this record when it was first released without having listened to a single track from it. For me, the name Vangelis on the cover was enough. I was buying his Greek 7" singles and LPs in the 1960s and I never got disappointed.
💥This song is an epic masterpiece!💥 The interplay of the synths, rain, electric piano, ⚡️thunder⚡️, kettle drums, marimba and the Lexicon reverb is amazing. What is striking to me of this piece is the phrasing of each instrument. With the exception of the flute that softly plods along counting time, different sounds comes in and out like birds speaking to each other across a field.
En dépit de sa diversité stylistique, Vangelis est avant tout un compositeur d'esthétique expressionniste, toujours proche du drame, de la profondeur, de l'angoisse et la vision profonde et tourmentée de la vie qui semble émaner de la métaphysique de l'homme comme de sa même nature profonde.
Only the mind of Vangelis could take such unusual, diverse and even discordant sounds and blend them into such a majestic melody. It’s as if he came from outer space to teach humans a new form of music.
Hay algunos cover de temas de Vangelis que están bien logrados pero este tema es inimitable, sólo el puede lograr esas texturas, esas armonías, esas tensiones que se suceden una y otra vez hasta llegar a su resolución y con ella una paz que invade el espíritu y el alma, esto no es solo música, estamos escuchando a su alma que entrega todo, en cada nota, en cada sonido, en cada composición, es un verdadero regalo divino
I have to agree with dro G. I've listened to this with headphones and it's a trip, and no I don't use drugs (except Dr. prescribed). It really does sound better with headphones.
La primera vez que escuché este tema fue un día tormentoso de invierno en el campo en un equipo de sonido de alta fidelidad y con buen volumen. Parecía que llovía al ritmo esa portentosa obra. Que magnifica potencia y sutileza a la vez. Vangelis es un maestro a la altura de los grandes.

This is one of my 3 favorites. I also like Klaus Schulze - Georg Trakl (A song from the Album "X") and Steve Roach - Reflections in Suspension (A song from the album Structures from Silence).
Please, let me put it like this. Of everything that I have heard from Vangelis. The "Soil Festivities" is the real masterpiece. All Music from him could be called soil festivities, as well.
If someone ever doubted that J Dilla aka Jay Dee aka James Dewitt Yancey is the greatest producer of all time show him/her this sample. This man‘s dedication to his craft is unparalleled. The sheer curiosity for every type of music & the patience this man must have had to find a loop to sample... unbelievable.
Vangelis wrote, composed & produced amazing music, you decide to give praise to someoen who took part of a song from one of the greatest composer in history, and call them the greatest of all time? You choose to see what you want to see, that is worst than a blind man.
@@ericmontenegro814 My man, curiosity drives innovation. I was merely admiring Dilla's curiosity and the depth of his listening tendencies. If you talk to most HipHop Producers, they would either not know who Vangelis is or not sample him because it is not a 4/4 beat. Thus, Dilla stepped way outside of most producers' comfort zones by sampling this masterpiece. Eventually, it is you who decides to have a stick in his you-know-what by being so niche and limiting your own perspective on music that you do not recognize greatness in another man's capability to craft something new out of the great music that Vangelis put out there. Furthermore, it appears that you are not aware that Dilla opened up a new stream of listeners who not only come here to admire Dilla but also learn to appreciate the works of Vangelis. If this is something that bothers you, you should reconsider your approach to music. It is not here to be gatekept but to be appreciated by a broader audience who come from various backgrounds and perspectives. Sometimes it helps to take some time to recognize the bigger picture before making such comments.
there was a time when I particularly liked this album but it was a long time ago and now I am listening to rediscover it and writing silly things on the internet to pass the time. I still think that repeating note still sounds like a small creature's heartbeat just over a minute into this recording and so I think this record still rings a bell for me. "the day an ant wandered off the footpath into the grass, an unknown jungle, and went on a wonderous journey in the rain through this previously unknown territory". yeah... "the beast in the woods" on the front cover was not encountered, I suspect. maybe a feared encounter, momentarily, after the earthquake caused by the hopping crow. don't keep running around in circles now, even if being an ant you never sleep. but do you experience elation or fear? run, run, run, never sleep, but never fear...mister ant. (not that I am capable of recognising a miss or missus ant)...on yer never ending journey(s)...oh look, the rain has formed an ocean (puddle) in this clearing of the grass...when is the rain nice and when is your back garden a living orchestra? When Vangelis' Soil Festivities is playing. A mud bath for the senses even though you are squeaky clean. Such great orchestrations. Synth as symphony? On this album....yes. Rarer occurrence than one might think. Even in Vangelis land. Not being a "trained musician" or even able to read music, apparently, Vangelis relied on instinct a lot, but who ever instinctually arrived at a symphony? It is that thought that keeps my appreciation of his music alive, even if I think of listening to it but once a decade.
Sounds like an army of crabs on the March bounces u along top class music such a great musican wat an array of sounds from marching mode to relaxing mood music jumps to high pitches great stuff
Yo escuche esto en el año 86 y pense que era una sinfonia tocando vajo la lluvia y con truenos, "decia" estos si que son musicos profecionales. Lo que no sabia, era que eran sintetizadores varios que ahora ya no los fabrican.
Musica de fondo de Sintonia Alfa, programa de radio de Andreas Faber Kaiser, en los programas del viajero Jorge Juan Sanchez. Qué noches, qué recuerdos
Se acerca mucho al estilo clásico de los hijos de la escuela electrónica de Berlín de música conceptual como los Tangerine Dream, Vangelis se orientó hacía lo orquestal vocal y sinfónica, ahí es dónde dió sus sentimientos más profundos, pero siempre preferí su lado mecánico conceptual electrónico experimental. Siempre se dijo que Jean Michel Jarre buscaba sacar el lado emotivo y humano de los Sintetizadores, no sé si esa frase es cierta. De ser así, creo que Vangelis buscándolo o no; lo consiguió. Si os gustan los teclados y los prodigios con ellos, hay uno un poco olvidado que hacía maravillas con las teclas, Rick Wakeman
...sinceramente es el abandono de la materia en la prisma del espíritu y el corazón...solo sonidos armónicos que entrelazan la composición maestra del divino arte de crear. 🙏❤️✨🌟🎶✨
I have this CD and most of the time I'm reluctant to play it. Why? Because every time I play the first movement, it *rains* within 36 hours! No joke! BTW, where I am in NE TN, we're supposed to get rain on Saturday, but I can guarantee that it will come sooner! 😺
@Catman Inc. Young,old,older souls compose and listen what is composed...Who compose-and who listen?Where have we been before ''composer'' was even born?And where were the elements of the song?Song is known when you are older soul than composers soul.I was once with Sorce of all songs of the World .II enjoy the song more than anybody...He did it for me!He did it for me!!Explanation is uncompleted,language is a prostitution of Sense
Just change the name to Soiled Festivities and you've got a great name for a porno! JUST KIDDING! Real Talk now; I probably wouldn't be alive right now if it wasn't for Vangelis' Music. I've got everything ( the main albums, anyway) from Earth to Nocturne. I love 'em!
There are people who take a person's prose and use the up & down movement of the lettering, paragraphs, capitalizations, punctuation, moods to color and assign instruments . . . into music. Something that might be possible is to do the same by observing the motion(s) of God's universe . . . insects, animal, micro-biological, atmospheric, etc. AND CONVERT THAT INTO ASSIGNED SOUND . . . with a sensitivity to "does it please my (composer/transcriber) ear?".
@@dequadim Yes, I should have clarified, I don't think Vangelis copied O Hearn at all...though when you listen to Mythodea it is clear that there was definitely a hat tip to Holst's planets.

Meditation music. Just sat back and enjoyed the sounds thru the headphones and my subconscious mind was very clear throughout this. This was great!
You weren't abusing any illegal or dangerous psychoactive drugs like cannabis or marijuana were you?
I have to agree with dro G. I've listened to this with headphones and it's a trip, and no I don't use drugs (except Dr. prescribed). It really does sound better with headphones.
A musical creation of sheer beauty by Vangelis. Relaxing but very engaging at the same time. A true masterpiece the whole album.
J Dilla certainly dug deep. R.I.P
Ed Haze what part he sampled
@@Beedot757 14:53 the song he made with it is called colors of you

I hear Soil Festivities in my car when it rains and it is fantastic!

Every time I play this first movement of Soil Festivities - it rains!!!! With this drought we're under here down in the South US, we need the rain.

Shabba Quilde can just imagine the first time j dilla heard that keyboard riff and created a legendary piece of hip hop culture
LOL just what I was looking for
When I first heard this moment I cried with tears of .. ? I can't describe this feeling. Something similar to fulfillment.

Me encanta esta canción y me la se de memoria cada nota. cuando era niño solía dormirme escuchándola.
