Can't claim to be an aficionado of his career, but "666" is fantastic. Probably the only unabashedly prog concept album I can listen to without feeling the urge to run screaming for my Dead Kennedys LPs.
He is an arse, isn't he?
Saw Blade Runner at a local film festival this weekend. Daniel Pemberton, a huge fan of the soundtrack, introduced it. Such a fan, in fact, that he owns a CS-80. From his demonstration it appears to be virtually unusable for any purpose other than reproducing sounds from the film.
Cosmos, man, Cosmos. That show utterly captivated nerdy, space-obsessed 9-year-old me, and VGs theme music was (and still is, to me) the sound of the infinte vastness of space. I never got to go into space like I hoped, but I did become a scientist. I guess that counts for something.

I love “L’Enfant,” and the scenes in The Year of Living Dangerously set to it are—to borrow your word—sublime examples of the kind of choreography of images and music I live to see in movies.pldms wrote: Thu May 19, 2022 2:44 pmSaw Blade Runner at a local film festival this weekend.

The opening of that film is sublime, and a substantial part of that is due to Vangelis. Bonus credit for The Four Horsemen, too.
Had the pleasure of seeing Microdisney once and Fatima Mansions twice. FM were mental live.
