Artist History From Microsoft Encarta- "ORIGEN (circa 185-c. 254), celebrated Christian writer, teacher, and theologian" The new age of Origen started in 1996 when this name appeared on the CD "Electro" (http://www.cdstreet.com/artists/origen) "that blends together elegance and beauty dressed in electronic clothing". The creator of this CD and new Origen is Alexsey Zakharenko- composer, electronic musician, sound engineer and producer from Kiev (Ukraine). Earlier he mainly was deal with recording and producing of classical music. "Electro" and the next album "Era of Aquarius" (http://www.cdbaby.com/origen), which till now is the best selling CD by Origen, were challenge to Jean-Michel Jarre, Enigma, and Vangelis. The credo of Origen is not to be tedious and monotonous in music and life and the next CD "Muky Zvoo" (http://www.mp3.com/origens) essentially differs from the previous albums. It is bright mix of pop, electronics, rock and new age. The supper hit of the album "Dedication to Jim Morrison" is one of the best and unusual Origen's songs. Nice composition, true Jim's voice, perfect performance make indelible impression. New turn in Origen's music happened this year when Alexey Zakharenko invited opera soprano Tanya to take part in recording of his last electronic/new age CD "AVE MARIA" (http://www.cdbaby.com/anthology). "This is so good! Incredible sound, and mixing..and I cried when the vocals came in… this is "Dead can Dance". I will be listening out for more... how can I not" May be this simple words of a listener are the best description of the stunning and heart-wrenching music by Origen More music for listening in Lo-Fi and Hi-Fi and free download: http://www.mp3.com/origens
