Vangelis in 1979 interview said Ive never been there, I had the idea long before the events that placed China at the forefront of the news. For years I have been passionate about the Chinese. What is happening there is miraculous, it touches me. He tried to capture in this record China as I feel it, with its peculiar character, its perfume. I find certain resemblances between the music.
