Introduction
"No oyes ladrar los
perros?" is the title of a French/Mexican film by director Francois
Reichenbach. This one time collaboration between Vangelis and
Francois Reichenbach in 1975
came in a time when Vangelis made some scores (most notable "Ace
up my sleeve" in the same year) which would help him finish his own
studio in London. A lot of sleeve variations exist for this album, a collector's
dream :-)
Tracklist and Credits
Any album of this film does not come with a proper tracklist, all
music is simply titled either "Entends-tu les chiens aboyer?",
"Can you hear the dogs barking?" or "Ignacio". Credits are
scarce too, obviously Vangelis is credited for composing, but that's about it...

While it is not hard to find a CD of this album, some of these LP's are not
easy to obtain anymore. The 7" single is quite rare!
Recording studio
I have always wondered where the music of this album was recorded. It
isn't clear from any release of the album, and even while Vangelis was
travelling
between Paris and London at the time, I believe it is recorded somewhere in
London. Nemo Studios was still being built at the time, but could this music
have been recorded in Orange Studios, where Vangelis recorded with fellow Greeks
Socrates and Mariangela back
in 1975?
