Optimystique is Yanni's first album, released on the Atlantic label in 1984, and Private Music label in 1989, (see 1984 in music).

Optimystique was recorded in 1980 and released for the first time in 1984. I considered re-recording or reworking the material before re-releasing it again, but the album has a very special sound representative of a particular time early in my career which I wanted to preserve. For me, it is a piece of my history I remember fondly.[2]
