Tony R Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 No one will ever better his Blade Runner soundtrack. Chariots of Fire is also pretty amazing. RIP Vangelis Papathanassiou. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dream & vapour Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Both a pioneer and giant of synth composition. Now riding upon God's sine waves. A personal fave, of which I believe a smidgen can be heard in Carl Sagan's Cosmos series (in addition to other Vangelis tracks): 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Oh this is sad, he has contributed so many lovely soundtracks to society. RIP to a legend 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I'm sorry, to hear, see, and read this. He was an amazing Greek musician, and composer. I like, have, and listen to some of his music. He will be missed, and remembered. My condolences, and sympathies, to his family, and friends. R.I.P., Evangelos (Vangelis). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Wow, this is surprising. I remember going through a New Age phase during my first year in college, and Vangelis was one of the main people I listened to during that, even though he had been around long before. I had actually purchased a couple of the Jon and Vangelis records a couple of years before when I was still in high school. I think I had heard Th Friends of Mr. Cairo one night on the radio, and I had to have it. Then I heard Heaven and Hell, and Jon Anderson singing on "So Long Ago, So Clear." Years later, it was another Jon and Vangelis collaboration with "Italian Song." Just truly beautiful music. And I'll always remember the music from the wine commercial back in 1987 (Was it Gallo wine?) and it just sounded like Vangelis, and it actually was. I guess I'm going down a Vangelis rabbit-hole today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I saw Jon Anderson 10 years ago ? and he told a very funny story about the first time he met Vangelis. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
