ok a year or two ago some of you were repping v. hard for VANGELIS

i dunno, maybe i should give dragon another shot--for some reason it didnt click w/ me but if it sounds (even a little) like earth than ill put it on tonight

milton otm about aero being otm about vangelis riding that line between awful and beautiful. wait till you hear the "gangster" skit on friends of mr cairo

kinda surprised there isn't like a 3CD "best of vangelis" set, it'd be alot easier to just recommend that than be like, "buy any album from these two decades and youre bound to find 3 or 4 great tracks!!"

lol i have a vangelis best of i got for a dollar (i know thats not what you mean but still)

its also p uneven

it'd just be impossible to do one that would make enough people happy, because the worst breaches in taste of course are the things he's best known for, and the most brilliant things he's done are truly warped -- so everyone's pretty much stuck doing their own trawl

luckily the records are ubiquitous and cheap

I love that Autechre debuted 'Pen Expers' live two years before Confield came out as a mashup with 'Heaven and Hell 4' aka Theme from Cosmos

at least one great track on everything 1970-1985

If you're like me, you never remember the bad tracks cuz you skip them. Meaning these albums are ALL GOOD.

And all like a dollar anyway.

2nd disc of the ecent "Blade Runner" OST reissue is marvelous. Will rep for all this guy's stuff 4ever. Even though there IS some dreck. But outside of a few geniuses who hasn't made dreck?

this is the only thread I had bookmarked from the great outage
