Vangelis An Appreciation (Part 1)

Greek composer Evanghelos Odyssey Papathanassiou, better known to the world as Vangelis, loomed large in the field of electronic music and film scores. Over his lifetime he released 29 studio recordings, 28 compilation albums, 12 soundtrack albums and 42 singles. And yet most of his film score work was never released, and he often said he had much more music “in the vault” than he ever released. Many people only know of him through his biggest releases, like the theme from Chariots Of Fire, the soundtrack for Blade Runner, and his pop releases with Jon Anderson from Yes. But his work is deep and varied, as you're about to find out.
