CD Review: Vangelis: The Collection
IT'S all about timing in the music business and you couldn’t release a Vangelis compilation at a better time than this, just as the Olympics start, with that Chariots Of Fire theme bound to get more than a little airplay.
Add to that synth classics such as the music he composed for Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, the stirring score for 1492: Conquest Of Paradise and the heart-breaking theme from the movie Missing and you have a collection across two discs that is varied, sometimes modern, sometimes minimalist but always compelling.
