Themes (Vangelis)

This album is really interesting as he gave you a clear view on Mr Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíou (Vangelis real name)'s work on film score that he made in the past. You won't miss the second track eventhough it is Missing's Main Theme. There is, of course immortal music from Chariot of Fire and Blade Runner (taken out from the requested Track listing on SST, probably as those music are available on original album) but the versions of those songs on Themes are different (from their original) and worth to be listen to. You can also find original work from this great composer (China) who is not taken from a soundtrack. My favorite track is the one mentioned above (Missing) but I also like a lot Memories of Green (from Blade Runner), La Petite Fille de La Mer from Frédéric Rossif's documentary and Love Theme from Blade Runner.
This album made me discover someone who has been gifted to create electronic music that you think it is symphonic as the sounds he is using are like instruments he directs in an orchestra. He, like Hans Zimmer later has the ability to creates that. He cannot be only taken as the composer of Chariot and Blade Runner.
Funny to know : His 1968's hit song "Rain and Tears" he made with Aphrodite's Child, the group he formed with Demis Roussos, Lucas Sideras & Silver Koulouris gets an funny echo when he wrote "Tears In Rain" for Blade Runner's score and which come after very a famous quote :
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
(SST member Alchemist' signature)
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like Tears in Rain. Time to die."
But please be sure not to die before having listen to Mr Vangelis's heavenly music.
