Vangelis
Posted by: MJSM on 25 September 2003
I see there are a few more fans out there, good to see (I was scared to mention him on this forum, his music being almost entirely digital so to speak).
I notice that nobody here mentioned the film track to 1492 (Columbus of course). IMHO, its almost the best thing he's done to date, you need to listen to all of it a couple of times, but give it a try with the lights out, a good cigar, etc etc. I played it for my girlfriend who had never listened to Vangelis before, and it moved her to tears in places.
Also noticed that nobody mentioned 'Mask', an absolute masterpiece IYAM. Also try out the track 'Horizon', think this is on Private Collection, but can't be sure.
Just to show a bit of variation, should also try Mark Knopfler - Sailing to Philadelphia (excellent too), the lyrics are worth listening too, typical Knopfler.
Happy listening
Mike
