1	Chariots of Fire (1982) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Vangelis' electronic score for a film set in 1930s Britain seemed an odd match at first, but the title theme, with its echoing, manipulated rhythm box and melodic hook, became one of the most popular theme songs of the early '80s. Just hearing the opening 30 seconds conjures up -- for those who have seen the film -- shots of men running on the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.65!
2	1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Suitably grand in scale and far-reaching in its scope, this soundtrack is the first new music from Vangelis since 1990's The City. 1492 stands up well next to Vangelis's classic Chariots of Fire, due to his innate ability to get right inside the material and provide an integral part of the film itself. Vangelis succeeds in capturing the 15th ... see all copies from $3.47! new only from $27.22!
3	Direct (1988) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist The CD release of Direct includes bonus material -- which fits the flow of this intense and dramatic offering -- not included on the cassette or vinyl releases. Like most Vangelis, this defies categorization. It has strong elements of rock & roll, symphonic synth ambience, and new age instrumental aspects. At the same time, the bold synthesizer ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $14.99!
4	Opera Sauvage (1979) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist This warm, lyrical album was derived from Vangelis's music for a French television series. Rich, electronic orchestrations range from grandly symphonic to simple and serene. Curiously enough, this title has experienced a major revival since the opening cut, "Hymne" was used for a Gallo Wine commercial. This 1979 release is an excellent ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.33!
5	The City (1990) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist This is a day in the life of a city, its denizens shaking off sleep and moving through the busy streets and promenades only to return home and (presumably) start the process all over again. Vangelis' city is cosmopolitan, tastefully blending exotic sounds and disembodied voices, at once futuristic yet reassuringly familiar. Where Direct was remote ... see all copies from $5.88! new only from $27.22!
6	Friends of Mr. Cairo (1981) more music like this by Jon & Vangelis add to wishlist The second album-length collaboration between Jon Anderson and Vangelis is almost perfect in its blending of elements; it's only when the pair tries to do some serious rocking on "Back to School" that things take a bit of a nosedive. Other than that, though, there are some classic cuts to be found on this record, including the breathtaking "I'll ... see all copies from $5.59! new only from $8.66!
7	Blade Runner (1994) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Arriving 12 years after the release of the film, Vangelis' soundtrack to the 1982 futuristic noir detective thriller Blade Runner is as bleak and electronically chilling as the film itself. By subtly interspersing clips of dialogue and sounds from the film, Vangelis creates haunting soundscapes with whispered subtexts and sweeping revelations, ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $8.57!
8	Heaven and Hell (1975) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Those used to Vangelis' later and lighter synthesized outings may not be quite ready for this dark, thundering album. While it did provide us with the theme music for the TV series Cosmos and bring Jon Anderson into partnership with Vangelis (following an abortive approach to Vangelis joining Yes) on "So Long Ago, So Clear," it also served up ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $12.99!
9	The Best of Jon & Vangelis (1984) more music like this by Jon & Vangelis add to wishlist This disc by Yes frontman Jon Anderson and Greek keyboard wizard Vangelis is a compilation of songs from various releases they recorded together over the years. It presents a very entertaining collection of material and a great introduction to their progish, electronically oriented musical creations. Of course, the central selling point to many ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.86!
10	Antarctica (1983) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Antarctica is the soundtrack to Koreyoshi Kurahara's film of the same name. Vangelis composed and performed all of the music. It is a very dynamic and dramatic set, but does not convey the iciness that listeners would expect. Conveying feelings of angst, isolation, and even desolation, it is actually very good music. It just does not feel like, ... see all copies from $2.94! new only from $5.55!
11 view cover	Private Collection (1983) more music like this by Jon & Vangelis add to wishlist Jon & Vangelis' first two albums really seemed to be building up to this point. With Private Collection, the two artists (Jon Anderson of Yes fame and Vangelis) have created what feels just a bit like a classical work. Truly the nearly 23-minute "Horizon" really feels a lot like a modern symphony. It is definitely the culmination of their work ... see all copies from $5.82! new only from $11.58!
12 view cover	Short Stories (1980) more music like this by Jon and Vangelis add to wishlist Jon Anderson's first project following his departure from Yes was to reunite with the equally airy Vangelis for a collaborative effort as Jon and Vangelis. Short Stories actually marks their second collaboration -- the first took place on Vangelis' 1975 album, Heaven and Hell, with the track "So Long Ago, So Clear." The pair returns to that song's ... see all copies from $2.68! new only from $11.58!
13 view cover	Reprise: 1990-1999 [Bonus Track] (1999) by Vangelis add to wishlist One of the most interesting facets of Vangelis' music is the way in which it has re-formed and remodeled itself throughout each decade without losing its resilience or overall charm. Whether considering his rudimentary keyboard work from the '70s, his numerous motion picture scores of the '80s, or his stylish theme-based material of the '90s, ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $7.88!
14 view cover	China (1979) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Vangelis uses ringing synthesizer textures and stately rhythms to evoke the majesty of China, in a similar fashion to another of his "geography" works, Antarctica. While a few tracks use acoustic piano and other organic instruments, the centerpieces "Chung Kuo," "The Dragon" and "Himalaya" use bracing percussion and synthesizer effects to ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $13.41!
15 view cover	Soil Festivities (1984) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Soil Festivities dates from 1984, before Vangelis was working with orchestras. Some would say that it was before he "sold out" or when he was a "real musician," but those opinions are totally subjective. It is certain that this is a different kind of CD. The album features five movements, each a self-contained soundscape. Vangelis surrounds a ... see all copies from $8.00!
16 view cover	Mythodea: Music for the NASA Mission -- 2001 Mars Odyssey (2001) by Vangelis add to wishlist Mythodea is subtitled "Music for the NASA Mission: 2001 Mars Odyssey," and it's certainly an epic work. If its aspirations were any higher, it wouldn't even need NASA to break earth's gravity. In essence, it's the focus of Vangelis' symphonic ambitions, utilizing not only an orchestra, but two sopranos and a full choir to go alongside his banks of ... see all copies from $4.88! new only from $8.18!
17 view cover	El Greco (1995) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist see all copies from $3.99! new only from $34.78!
18 view cover	Portraits (So Long Ago, So Clear) (1997) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Portraits (So Long Ago, So Clear) is a set of 15 pieces covering approximately 20 years of Vangelis' career. He is, undoubtedly, the most commercial electronic musician ever. He has recorded dozens of major motion picture soundtracks and dozens of delightful albums. This CD is an accurate cross section of those efforts. Vangelis is a brilliant ... see all copies from $7.71! new only from $7.71!
19 view cover	Oceanic (1996) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist As its title indicates, Vangelis' Oceanic is a quiet, meditative work evocative of the sea. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.88! new only from $11.88!
20 view cover	Ignacio (1985) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist see all copies from $8.00!
21 view cover	Voices (1995) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Voices is a deep and engaging album from an e-music legend, Vangelis. This CD predates his regular use of symphony orchestras to augment his synths. His synths are, however, very symphonic. He creates broad atmospheres and dramatic soundscapes with synth hooks, chant vocals, and samples. Vangelis also adds some experimental textures and smooth ... see all copies from $5.31! new only from $10.42!
22 view cover	Invisible Connections (1985) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Invisible Connections is a very interesting CD from Vangelis. He shreds his symphonic biases to create a totally electronic album with lots of quirky experimental sounds and sci-fi timbres. The atmospheres are quite stark and playful. Vangelis seems to have been trying to reach a broader audience. This is pure space music with icy tones and ... see all copies from $13.00!
23 view cover	Themes (1989) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Themes is one of the most entertaining and thorough of any of Vangelis' collections, with excerpts spanning such albums as Opera Sauvage, China, and the ever-popular Chariots of Fire release from 1981. Most of the selections from Themes speak for Vangelis' movie contributions, including the infamous "Chariots of Fire" track as well as the lonesome ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $7.33!
24 view cover	Alexander (2004) more music like this by Vangelis add to wishlist Academy Award-winning composer Vangelis fills Oliver Stone's epic rendering of the story of Alexander with such victorious bombast, that it may as well be a Jerry Bruckheimer production. What begins as a Blade Runner-esque wash of atmospheric, keyboard-driven subtlety quickly deteriorates into a thick wall of stock heroic motifs, swelling brass, ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
25 view cover	Cousteau's Dream (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Cousteau's Dream gathers tributes to the pioneering diver Capt. Jacques-Yves Cousteau from new age stars like Aria, Richard Burmer, and Frederic Delarue. Vangelis contributes "West Across the Ocean Sea" and "Eternity," and 2002's "Stella Maris," Kitaro's "Nageki," Michael Hoppe's "Lachrymosa," and Kamal's "Shakuhaji Tales" are among the album's ... see all copies from $10.61! new only from $10.61!
