Introduction
Halfway
the eighties Vangelis made several trips to the United States. While staying in New York
in 1985, preparing an upcoming lawsuit with his lawyers, he shortly worked with Suzanne
Ciani on her album 'The Velocity of Love', as it turned out a one time
cooperation. Suzanne has made a name for herself in the world of electronic and
new age music, with albums like 'Dream Suite' and the Pianissimo-series.

Miscellania
|
The
lawsuit referred to above is the case former friend Stavros Logaridis filed
against Vangelis, claiming to be the composer of the melody of 'Chariots of
Fire'. |

Later
in 1986 Vangelis staged a concert in Los Angeles, together with Jon
Anderson, at the University of Los Angeles (UCLA) |
|
In
an interview with Wayne Eagling, who produced several ballets in London in
the eighties for which Vangelis made the score, clearly remembers the way
the score was made for his ballet ‘Beauty and the Beast’. As Vangelis
was staying in the US at the time, Wayne heard the music played over
extensive and expensive long-distance phone calls. The actual recordings
would then later be sent over on tapes by courier. |
