Upon a request, here is Albedo 0.39, an album by
the artist Vangelis, released in 1976. It is a
concept album around space and space physics.
Albedo 0.39 was the second album produced by
Vangelis in Nemo Studios, London, which was his
creative base until the late 1980s. It contrasts
with his previous album, Heaven and Hell, which
was classically inspired and choral, while Albedo
0.39 has blues and jazz overtones. Nevertheless,
both albums share a classic, 1970's aura of
intense electronic majesty.
The album title refers to the average albedo
value of the planet Earth as it was in 1976. From
the explanation on the back of the LP cover : "The
reflecting power of a planet or other non-luminous
body. A perfect reflector would have an Albedo of
100%. The Earth's Albedo is 39%, or 0.39".
Due to a variety of solar, atmospheric,
electromagnetic, seasonal, and pollution issues,
earth's albedo value is in constant flux.
Vangelis plays all instruments. Although it is
uncertain which synthesizers Vangelis employs on
this album, other instruments include acoustic
drums, bass, percussion, a xylophone, a gamelan
(track 2) and recordings of the speaking clock
(courtesy of Post Office communications) and the
Apollo moon landing ("courtesy of NASA"). It
appears Vangelis alternates synthesizer and
acoustic basses on different tracks.
The only vocal is the narrative on the title
track, which is uncredited. It was later revealed
to be the voice of Vangelis' sound engineer, Keith
Spencer-Allen.
