best Vangelis

i dont know alot of Vangelis, but my favourite track of his is Spiral.

i like vangelis a lot, favorites : Beaubourg, Invisible connections, Blade Runner, Soil festivities & various tracks off bootleg records like Bounty.

The science geek in me says clearly it's this...

But I'm going to have to go with the whole Aphrodite's Child 666 album because a greek prog concept album about the Book of Revelations is possibly the most PROG thing I've ever heard.

YEAH!

bought this reissue a month or two ago but havent had a chance to listen yet.

Les Apocalyse Des Animaux is a really nice record too, my dad used to manage a bank in London in the early 80's and would be invited into the studio across the road in the evenings, so hes got a fair few Vangelis records, which i will have to make more of an effort to steal!

See You Later is good too, i need to listen to more of his work with John Anderson from Yes

I love Vangelis :)

As already said, L'Apocalypse Des Animaux...

...and of course, Aphrodite's Child - 666. Listen to this track all the way through.

Epic freakout @ 5:00

for me it's Multi-Track Suggestion or Money (w/ Jon Anderson)

Heaven and Hell.

i'm love this soundtrack.

CD2 of this collection contains so MANY pieces of haunting beauty that were missing on the old release but are essential.

i can't imagine anything without this OST anymore.

Blade Runner aside, it's got to be 'Theme from Antarctica' for me.

Blade Runner

The Bounty

Cosmos

Albedo 0.39

One of his best, off Opera Sauvage:

Might be a bit obvious choice. But whatever, so fucking amazing.

I picked up these Vangelis cassette tapes for a 25 cents each about a month ago: China, Invisible Connections, Direct, Chariots of Fire OST. Invisible Connections was far more minimal and experimental than I expected:

I saw Albedo 0.39 but I think forgot to grab it. I'm moving at the moment and I didn't see it in my cassette collection when I boxed it up. Hopefully its in there >_<
