Died today at 79, damn shame.

Did the score to Bladerunner and Chariots of Fire.

 

This was my favourite though.

Sad that.

 

I always liked this with Jon Anderson.

 

 

 

 

RIP.

For some reason I can't add Youtube clips at the moment, but the 3 Vangelis tracks I always think of, other than CoF, are '1492: Conquest of Paradise - main theme', 'Blade Runner - end theme' and 'Pulstar'. The latter could so easily belong on Jean-Michel Jarre's 'Oxygene'.

"Chariots of Fire" was always one of the tunes Ritchie Blackmore would have played over the concert PA before Rainbow came on, so apart from it being a wonderful tune I always associate it with good times.

 

RIP Vangelis

Show some respect, for Christ's sake.

I think he was quite close to joining Yes at one point.

I wouldn't know mate. Apart from the odd track Prog isn't really my thing.

That's a lovely song, though not really my thing it's evocative of a certain time. 

I always thought it was by Yes, a band i could never get into.
