If I would have never heard Vangelis' original interpretation I would be simply satisfied with this one. Stunning sound imagery and melody expression. I think you really recreated the song to a new life.
I can't believe you made a cover of this track (or rather, I was not expecting it). Absolutely phenomenal. A fan-favorite, and it's not even in most versions of the movie. Thank you so much for this and your other covers.
Greetings from Portugal and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW you are amazing. I already see most of your videos and this is for all AMAZING just AMAZING, if i was Vangelis i will said "if i get sick and could make a concert i wire this guy, put a beard in him, nobody will notice" Great just AMAZING and GREAT
these vangelis covers of yours..are amazing! I'm in the process of slowly saving up for a synth (upgrading from an sh-201, on which i taught myself), what would you recommend would be the best synth to get to be able to play some vangelis covers and similar-style songs on? bear in mind I'm a 17 year old fledgling synth-junky so my knowledge of various synthesizers may be inadequate
@BlueIzzzs Hi , the sound at .59 is from the ensoniq esq, a patch I created to emulate the yamaha cs80. The keyboard on the bottom is the esq, also a midi controller.
Hey Mik, i´m a fan for near 4 decades of electronic music and i must say this is really nice work, hope to hear your music in movies in the future, if it will be so, keep me posted...
I've listened to Desolation Path by Vangelis before, and this is one incredible performance!! It is awesome to see how you captured all of the music from that song! Brilliant!
Excellent, as usual :) You're the best for Vangelis covers and tributes ! I've watched all your videos with great pleasure ! Thanks again for sharing this with us !
Excellent !! Excellent !! You have prooved is not necessary to have a CS-80 and a VP-330 to get those sounds. I'm impressed about the MicroKorg capabilities. 5 stars performance !!
So many others have tried to get the Vangelis sound and only come close. Even John Beal who is a master synthesist..
I think a lot of it is because they concentrated too much on the notes, and not on the correct emphasis of playing for emotion, which is what you have magically mastered in your fingers. This is the key to your wonderful sound, whether you are doing pure covers, or making your own music. You understand how to play with feeling. akin to the man himself.
AWESOME AWESOME !!!!
