Hypothesis is a 1978 album by the Greek artist Vangelis. In 1971 Vangelis had played several sessions in London's Marquee Studios, joined for some of them by violinist Michel Ripoche, bass guitarist Brian Odger and drummer Tony Oxley. Two albums' worth of material had resulted from these sessions, but were never intended for release. Nevertheless, in 1978 two albums duly appeared in shops, on the Affinity label (a subsidiary of Charly Records: Hypothesis and The Dragon. Vangelis subsequently took the label to court to have both LPs taken off the market. They have critically been considered to be unsuccessful as albums.
An alternative release of Hypothesis was titled Visions of the Future.
In Germany Hypothesis and The Dragon were issued together as a double album titled Portrait.
The cover artwork for Hypothesis is by Angus McKie.
