NOTE: If credited as or any other name with Papathanassiou, please use that entry!Born on March 29, 1943 in Volos, Greece, Vangelis started writing music when he was 4 and performed his first live concert at age 6.In the sixties, he was a founding member of ('Rain and Tears', 'End of the World', etc.), along with and.A talented composer and musician, Vangelis is famous for composing soundtracks to films such as 'Blade Runner', 'Chariots Of Fire' and '1492: Conquest Of Paradise'.To date, Vangelis has made over 30 albums, many of them collaborations. Hi Discogs,Nice that you liked my review.Antarctica is not bad, but basically half of the soundtrack are different variations of the same theme. I liked but became a little boring. Then I saw the movie and noticed that a lot of great music never got to the album. So I took all the music I could find of this, and did this mix:Blade Runner would be the best Vangelis album, but is not, just because how badly was treated by Vangelis that seemed to never get it how to build this soundtrack. On the other hand, which version should you pick?
The one from 1982 o 1994 or 2007? Or the endless amount of bootlegs that fans did because Vangelis always missed something or put too much or too little. I heard all the official and bootlegs available from this film and put all the music, in a single mix, that Vangelis should gave us a long time ago.Enjoy!C.
As I'm listening to the remastered China from the Delectus Box, I'm looking up my tape collection (I kept the cover artwork and track lists of the tapes I compiled) and found my first Vangelis tape. It's from august 1988, containing Spiral and as an extra track Chariots Of Fire. I was 18 back then and was introduced to Vangelis by a very good friend, who already got a CD player at that time.
I borrowed my father's portable CD player to record the tape. It took one more year, dec 1989, to buy my first album of Vangelis, which was in fact that Albedo 0.39, followed by China ten days later. Already back then, there was a lot to discover for me. Does someone nowadays still gets into Vangelis? That's a lot more to discover then! But, it's really worth it!
The just released Delectus box would be a good start! And there's lot more to discover, because not all of his work is yet official published. So the sound journey goes on!Sadly I lost the good friend in a car accident, so I travel on without him since 1992.

Taking a quick look of the reviews posted here, I see that no one mentions how Vangelis came out of the dark.Don´t get me wrong,Vangelis have tasted the stardorm with his progressive band The Formix in Greece in the 60´s, just to move to London, to develop his solo career and his music. Then formed with Demis Roussos, Irene Papas and others the progressive band Aphrodite´s Child, which produced some hits.Their most iconic work was (1972)Vangelis & Aphrodite's Child - 666 The Apocalypse Of St.
John(, that was completed when all their members started to take different directions. Vangelis then did (1973)Earth, an album that showed the direction towards a space progressive music that would develop in future works.His name was Internationally known when Carl Sagan used the 3rd movement of his 1975 Heaven and Hell album as the main title of his 1980 TV Cosmos Series ( The way that his music was used and this series were presented, changed everything. (1975) Heaven and Hell ( is his most brilliant work, where he accomplishes to blend electronic, progressive with classical and choral style. (1973)L'Apocalypse Des Animaux OST ( 0.39 ( (1977)Ignacio OST (1977)Spiral (1978)Beaubourg and (1979)Vangelis - China were used in the TV series in an unique way for those days,to develop the deep atmosphere of knowledge and discovery.This albums styles vary from track to track, sometimes going to space, to progressive elelctronic and experimental music. Vangelis could be the co-father(among others like Jean Michel Jarre, Kitaro, Tangerine Dream, etc) of many styles like new age,ambient, electronic, chillout, space etc.
Indeed one of the greatest musicians ever. Funny to read the other opinions about his work: every individual picks his or hers favorite pieces or albums. In my opinion, the best albums are: 1: Oceanic, 2: 1492 conquest if paradise, 3: Voices, 4: Direct, 5: Spiral. And that's it. Just my own list. Vangelis covers such a wide range, each fan will have a different personal top 5.
Maybe I didn't listen to other albums enough, perhaps I should. Still a lot to explore, and to get inspired to get back to the keyboard and my Cubase.
