Page of Life is the fourth studio album by Jon and Vangelis. It was released in 1991 by Higher Octave, and is, as of 2011, their last studio collaboration as a duo. It was initially unavailable in the United States but was later re-released with the bonus track "Change We Must".[1]
Reception [edit]
Allmusic reviewer Jonathan Widran describes the songs on Page of Life as "amazing showcases" for Anderson's singing and Vangelis' instrumentation; the lyrics are described as "clever social commentary". Widran singles out for praise the songs "Garden of Senses", "Anyone Can Light a Candle" and "Is It Love", which he describes as "whimsical and elegant."[1]
The Kitchener-Waterloo Record describes the album as "a thoroughly pleasant album", with the title track featuring "overblown lyrics but a gorgeous vocal and instrumental performance". The Record also praises Vangelis' guitar sound on the fifth track, "Little Guitar".[2]
