How long has that page been up? 10 years?

It's being made by the guys doing the BR SE DVD ;-)

Or Perenchio is holding the rights to THAT as well. Let's blame him!

It's a mystery. All of it. Some possibilities I've come up with are:
(1) The whole internet 'thing' has got him confused.
(2) He's embarrassed about his last few albums being rather forgettable.
(3) alt.music.vangelis, being a ghost-town, has discouraged him.
(4) He can't be arsed with websites.
I wonder?

(5) He is still wondering what to put there. His paintings or his music. ;-)

Nah, only seven.
Although it's been "under construction" since then, I hope they
will update the design eventually. It won't look good if it looks
like most websites looked in the year 2000: fixed width pages,
fixed size fonts, lots of highly saturated colours, blink tags,
liberal use of frames, stuff that should be text embedded in
massive images, and looks wonky in every browser that isn't
Internet Explorer 5.5!

You sure? I *could* be wrong, but...
As far as I can recall, that message has been there since the site first
appeared, which was shortly before the release of Oceanic in 1996 (hence the
colour scheme used on the site). Which brings it to 11(!) years.
The most exciting thing that happened there ever since was that the people
behind the site at one point lost the domain name, but shortly afterwards
managed to get it back.
At which point the same old message, or perhaps some slight variation on it,
reappeared on the site...
I recently wrote a post about it on my blog, BTW. (See below.)

You are right. It will be eleven years in October.
You can still see it here on http://elsew.com in the news

OK, I'm confused now. I thought we weren't meant to read your blog?

No, that was just reverse psychology!
Lukas Mariman
A bit sad, isn't it? Oh well...
Anyway, thanks, Dennis!

I thought that was a different one - I seem to remember it having not
one, but TWO pages!

Maybe that event passed me by, in any case the current domain is
7 years old and hasn't changed in that time, which is stretching
"under construction" to the limit.
