RIP
I listened to that vinyl over and over again when I was 11. What a Masterpiece.
Just remembered that when I got my A4 the first thing I did was program the Bladerunner theme tune. It wasnāt great but it brought me a lot of satisfaction š„¹
I grew up listening to his scores and music with my dad. Very sad news. Heās been a huge influence on me one way or another
Chariots of Fire was one of the first songs that got me excited about music when I was a kid. I remember dancing around the house singing it, banging on things, impressing my parents Iām sure. RIP.
Haha, my father the clarinetist always frowned at āthat kind of musicā.
F him and hail Vangelis
A pioneer who inspired multiple generations of musicians, keyboardists, synth nerds, soundtrack composers, producers, and more. Hard to overstate his impact.
Sad news. His music was a big inspiration for many.
RIP, what a guy
CS80 prices gonna go through the roof
Speechlessā¦. RIP
sad news.
Now he arrived in Olympus as the 13th of the gods - the god of synths.
sad news. RIP.
Everyone loves his big, cinematic filmscapes, and with good reason. But his prog is also fucking epic.
(if the link doesnāt show, it was aimed at Vangelisā āAlbedo 0.39ā, a fave of mine. Itās by turns small, large, ambient, prog keyboard wank, and all over brilliant IMO)
Wow, Iām stunned. Rest in peace
I always play the bline from the closing credits (badly) on any new synth.
sad newsā¦ epic composer, truly unique and influentialā¦
Dreadbox (Greece) should dedicate their next Synth to Vangelis.
How fortunate a man to leave his mark indelibly on music history. Respect, condolences to his friends and family but also congratulations on a timeless achievement.
