I was a big fan of his work with Jon Anderson, especially "Friends of Mr. Cairo."

RIP to a great master.

Today will be a day of listening in tribute.

I just listened to his 1975 masterpiece Heaven and Hell.

Now it's on to a top 10 favorite of all time for me, Aphrodite's Child's 666.

To honor Vangelis, let's all pronounce his name correctly, with a hard G.

I only learned of that a few years ago, watching an interview with Jon Anderson.

Bladerunner is the soundtrack I remember. Masterful, futuristic yet low key and atmospheric, perfectly fitting the mood.

Safe journey to you.

His music for Bladerunner and Chariots of Fire made great movies even better. RIP.
