Notes: One of three official ATHENS 2004 albums. This was the pop album; there was also the classical(ish) album Harmony (a compilation including Vangelis' "Chariots of Fire", Adiemus, Karl Jenkins, Vanessa Mae, Nigel Kennedy, Maria Callas, Placido Domingo) and the Greek album Phos. All three were also released in a box set. All three raised money for UNICEF's work with HIV/AIDS. Unity consists of all new recordings, the idea being to bring together collaborations of disparate musicians to represent the uniting nature of the Olympic Games.
(16) was the official torch relay theme and was initially released as a single, credited to Trevor Horn/Lol Creme/Yiannis Kotsiras. Kotsiras is a Greek singer, Tarkan, a Turkish singer and Katia, a Lebanese singer. The single also included a Greek version ("Na to Phos", Greek lyrics by Lina Nicolacopoulou) and an instrumental version.
I suspect, given his writing and production credit, that Steve Hillage plays on (15). (HP, 19 Sep 04)
