Wonderful composer. So many of my favourite soundtracks. Played his Greatest Hits CD to death.

Love that tune. It perfectly fits with what was such an uplifting film, Ian Charlson was magnificent as Eric Liddel and Nigel Havers as his Lordship marvellous too...
RIP Vangelis.
Some great live concert footage from 1968 of him in Aphrodite's Child with Demis Roussos

One of those albums you just played from start to finish, then repeated it all day. A bit like the early Tangs and Kraftwerk, certainly my entry into electronica...
No idea how I found Vangelis back in the 1970's - presume it must have been via John Peel although it doesn't sound like his taste?

I first heard this about 25 years ago and was a little perpplexed initially, but they had something!
A friend of mine recently bought an old tatty customised Lambretta half in bits, all airbrushed artwork with Vangelis . . .done early 1980's . . . . Definitely worth restoring!
Ground breaking composer. Made the current and excellent Synthwave scene possible. Blade Runner remains my favourite synth film score.
Great man. Great career.

A genius, went through a phase in my teens loving tangerine dream,jmj, vangelis, klaus Schultz, kraftwerk. It wasn’t that ‘cool’ at the time, but you have to appreciate the pay he laid for multiple bands.
I saw Tangerine Dream live at Chalk a few weeks ago. Still superb and making some excellent new music.
Kraftwerk were also great at B. Centre a few years ago.
