| | Vangelis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | During the 1980s and 1990s, Vangelis and Jon Anderson released several albums together as Jon and Vangelis. | | | They had a hit single in Europe called "Rain and Tears", and are considered pivotal in the development of progressive rock and concept albums, especially because of their ground-breaking composition 666 (album). | | | In 1972 the group was disbanded, although Vangelis has since produced several albums and singles for Roussos as well as Roussos contributing vocals to the Blade Runner soundtrack. |

| | Vangelis - film composer |
| | Vangelis was formerly a keyboard player in a band called "Aphrodite's Child" and perhaps this has influenced his use of electronic music in film scores. | | | In contrast to previous Vangelis albums, this one is entirely acoustic with a large orchestral and choir, and can be recommended as a powerful experience. | | | Within it Vangelis uses some synth tracks giving sounds similar to "Chariots of Fire", but many tracks major on acoustic instruments including ethnic ones such as the Duduk, and solo and ensemble voices are also in evidence. |

| | As Vangelis was still part of Aphrodite's Child when the music was recorded, it is likely the music on this album was recorded in the same Mercury studio where Aphrodite's Child recorded their songs. | | | The musical score that Vangelis wrote for this film has become the 'holy-grail' of collector's items, as the LP released by Philips in France and Greece can be viewed as Vangelis very first solo album. | | | At the end of 1969 Vangelis composed and released his first music for a movie outside of Greece. |

| | Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Vangelis - The City |
| | Vangelis has released an astounding number of albums in recent years, has worked in many film projects, and has consistently focused on keyboard-based thematic works in his recorded output. | | | Vangelis has a unique position in the lexicon of progressive music. | | | Irrespective of what they think of his actual recorded output, most mainstream music critics generally respect this giant of the modern keyboard scene; similarly, many listeners who couldn't be bothered by even the most innocuous varieties of prog are known to favour some of his music. |

| | Vangelis - Alexander Soundtrack |
| | This 1988 Vangelis CD is a bridge between the symphonic electronica sound that Vangelis made popular in the eighties and is current, more dense orchestral sound. | | | Vangelis brings the music to a climax with full orchestra and chorus, diverts momentary to a quiet countermelody, before returning to the march theme. | | | Though it is primarily acoustic, the actual sound may remind listeners to Vangelis' synth string and vocoder work on Blade Runner. |

| | Vangelis also composed the music for a number of Jacques Cousteau documentaries in addition to maintaining his flourishing solo career, issuing acclaimed LPs including 1985's The Mask, 1988's Antarctica, and 1990's The City. | | | Vangelis' international commercial breakthrough followed in 1982, when his score to Chariots of Fire earned the film one of its many Academy Awards; its theme song even cracked the Top Ten on the U.S. pop charts. | | | Relocating to London, Vangelis established his own state-of-the-art recording studio, producing a steady flow of recordings including 1975's Heaven and Hell, 1976's Albedo 0.39, 1977's Spiral, and 1978's Beaubourg. |

| | Often forgotten on this album is the extemporaneous title suite that, in the days of LPs, took up the second side of the album. | | | Vangelis' soundtrack graces the listener with an interior vision of a simpler, nostalgic time and place where a few young men "seized the day" and ran their way to glory. | | | There is no wondering why Vangelis received an Oscar for his soundtrack to "Chariots Of Fire." It is infinitely superb, perfect for the movie, and perfect away from the movie. |

| | Parts of Vangelis' music appeared on a "Cosmos" compilation album (LP/CD), together with classical selections and recordings by Tomita, Synergy and others. | | | The main theme for Hugh Hudson's period sports drama "Chariots of Fire"(1981) won Vangelis an Oscar (tm) and both album and single ruled many of the pop music charts at the time. | | | In the Netherlands music from "Spiral" was used as theme music for the popular science-show "Wondere Wereld" while "Kinematic" from the "Antarctica" album is often recognized as the "action music" from "Wedden Dat?" |

| | And like "Metal Machine Music", "Beaubourg" is that one album people will question your sanity for listening to it, or it's that perfect album to clear parties. | | | This is perhaps VANGELIS' most radically different of all his albums. | | | The same atmosphere which is present (more or less) in other vangelis albums, so it's not that unique in that sense, just a bit more extreme. |

| | Vangelis stayed a bit more in Paris, where he recorded: "Poeme Symphonique", "Fair Que Ton Reve Plus Longue Que La Nuit" (1971) and the album "Earth" (1973), which was the first composition he did by himself. | | | Though it is not a brilliant record, Vangelis does a right work and keeps a very regular line in this whole record, standing out lightly (over the rest of the compositions) the following themes: "Bon voyage", "Spanish harbour" and "Song of the seas". | | | Vangelis and his companions published the following albums, and they succeeded enough: "Rain and Tears" (1968), "Aphrodite's Child" (1969), "It's Five O'clock" (1969), "Best of Aphrodite's Child" (1969) and "666" (1970). |

| | Ground and Sky review - Vangelis - Heaven and Hell |
| | For this album, Vangelis follows the Mike Oldfield model of many pieces of music strung together to make two long tracks on either side of an album. | | | This is not an album which I am unreservedly enthusiastic about, but Vangelis manages to run through forty-three minutes of music without getting dull or repetitious. | | | Anderson's lyrics, while unsurprisingly positive and unabashedly romantic, are at the same time countered by a tender pull of sadness in the music and a dash of bittersweet resonance that more often than not the words are referring to the past than to the present. |

| | Vangelis pulls out every imaginable cliché, but somehow the album features a not inconsiderable amount of highly-entertaining music - similar to the situation with Gladiator, I suppose, but taken even further to the extreme. | | | Oliver Stone was very silly to hire Vangelis for Alexander, but it's a cheesy, breezy album all the same, and is good fun. | | | One can't help but wonder what contribution the stunt casting of Vangelis in the role of composer had on this reaction. |

| | Alexander - Vangelis |
| | To provide a nice bookend balance to the album, Across the Mountains reverts back to the anthemic style of Titans, although with a bit more grit, plus the odd cadence that wouldn't be out of place in a Zimmer epic. | | | Alexander, on the other hand, has very simplistic anthems and a just about engaging, but meandering midsection. | | | After the excitement of all the drumming, Vangelis' score settles back into a more restful mode, with strumming lutes/guitars/whatever - random plucked things - over synth pads and forays into ethnic territory. |
